System Architect is a comprehensive and powerful modeling solution designed to provide all of the tools necessary for development of successful enterprise systems. It is the only tool to integrate, in one multi-user product, industry-leading support for all major areas of modeling, including business modeling, object-oriented and component modeling with UML, relational data modeling, network architecture design, and structured analysis and design. All functionality is harnessed within System Architect’s extensible repository with native support for Microsoft VBA.
A framework is a tool for thinking about the information you need to capture in the enterprise, and a vehicle for organizing, displaying, and accessing that information. System Architect provides a Framework Browser that enables you to view and access the models and artifacts you have developed in the repository through a framework interface. It supports all popular frameworks in the industry, such as the Zachman Framework, DoDAF (C4ISR Framework), and TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework).

System Architect provides perhaps the richest set of business modeling diagrams on the market, to enable you to capture the entire enterprise from various business perspectives -- from high-level business objectives and organizational makeup, through event-driven business process and functional modeling, organizational modeling, design of the applications and databases that make the business run, to network architecture of where everything is. System Architect supports the new Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) notation as well as the IDEF methodology. Using either notation and method, you can design new or redesign existing business processes to implement the most cost-effective and competitive business processes possible.

System Architect provides extensive support for UML, the industry standard for analysis and design of software systems and applications. You may use UML to perform high-level analysis with Use Cases, model of the dynamics of the system with UML Activity, Sequence, Collaboration, and State diagrams, and analyze and design the static structure of the system with UML Class, Component, and Deployment diagrams. System Architect supports code implementation and redesign through automatic generation and reversal of several languages, including Java, Visual Basic, and C++. System Architect also provides unmatched capability to extend its UML support through stereotypes, tagged values, and custom profiles.

System Architect provides comprehensive, market-proven data modeling, including models subject areas, separate logical and physical modeling, and schema generation and reverse data engineering of all major DBMSs.
