What Orbus iServer is
Orbus iServer is an enterprise architecture suite for organizations managing architecture, business processes, and IT portfolios. It gives teams a shared repository for models and documentation, with support for TOGAF 9.1 and ArchiMate. Users can adapt the metamodel through the interface. Impact analysis follows relationships across business levels, while component version management supports governance of changes. Built on Microsoft technologies, iServer includes Live Documents for creating repository-linked Word documents and a portal that publishes repository content as HTML5. Where permitted, browser users can edit selected information. Reporting Services creates custom reports in Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, and XML. Modules cover connections including ServiceNow, BI, BPM, data modeling, and projects; Data Exchange supports scheduled bulk imports and a REST API. Project Connect links the repository bidirectionally with Microsoft Project Online and other Microsoft Flow PPM or task tools, including JIRA. Deployment options include self-hosted, web, and Windows. Self-hosted support continues for subscription license holders; hosting ended December 31, 2024, and perpetual-license maintenance ended December 31, 2025. Pricing is on request.
