ZUG, Switzerland and PHILADELPHIA, September 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- CogniViz(R) Reporting and Visualization Software to Become an Embedded Component of EVA Netmodeler

PROMIS Solutions AG and Cogniscape, LLC announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding detailing the formation of a multi-phased partnership. The companies anticipate completion of a definitive agreement within 60 days. Under terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, PROMIS Solutions immediately becomes an authorized global reseller of CogniViz while the companies finalize details for embedding the CogniViz software into PROMIS' EVA Netmodeler offerings.

"With their worldwide presence and unparalleled approach to the Enterprise Architecture (EA) markets, we expect PROMIS Solutions to become a significant partner for Cogniscape adding proven distribution and domain expertise," said David T. Hurst, CEO and Founder of Cogniscape. "By delivering the industry's most flexible Meta Model repository, EVA Netmodeler sets the 'gold standard' for adaptability within any Enterprise Architecture modeling environment."

PROMIS Solutions and its predecessor company, Inspired in South Africa, developed Enterprise Value Architect (EVA) Netmodeler which has become the most advanced web based enterprise modeling, repository and knowledge sharing system used in support of strategy, enterprise architecture and initiative management. By combining proven EA methodologies, a collaborative enterprise modeling suite and expert consulting services, PROMIS Solutions has built a substantial worldwide installed base and market presence.

"In virtually every enterprise, flexible reporting and interactive graphical views have a significant role in driving and promoting widespread adoption and delivery of value from EA initiatives," stated Florian Krueger, President of PROMIS Solutions. "By using CogniViz's unique TTQ Querying interface even people with little or no programming experience can quickly write very complex intricate queries and produce detail rich reports including interactive graphical views."

With CogniViz, users can query data collected from different source systems and produce integrated reports and views from co-mingled data. The EVA Netmodeler repository's contents can be integrated with other systems such as CMDBs, Service Registries, Project Management and even numerous Excel Spreadsheets that exist in every enterprise. When combined with CogniViz's ability to generate interactive graphical views, many users, for the first time, are able to document and create an end to end view of their operating environment.

Graham McLeod, CTO of PROMIS Solutions added, "Much of the data contained in our repository details the relationships, interconnections and dependencies, both direct and obscured, of different objects and elements. When added to data from external sources, CogniViz provides a unique reporting capability that makes the creation of graphical views such as high value Impact Analysis reports depicting any desired subset and view of these relationships quick and easy. This partnership raises the bar for organizations wanting to leverage business intelligence and visualization across strategy, planning, architecture modeling and program management activities. We are a step closer to our vision of providing an ERP equivalent for business change."
