Any system or software design development might involve multiple minds at work, which means that there is a constant need for interaction and exchange of information between them. What if the stakeholders are distributed across the globe and need to communicate and access the common resources and infrastructures? In this information age, web-based solutions are preferred so as to bridge the gaps in every sense. Currently, many existing and popular modeling or designing applications that are based on heavy development platforms and thick clients, come with the baggage of huge overheads and setbacks in terms of cost of procurement, maintenance, scalability, latency in stakeholders collaboration, and so on. With the trend of the development going agile, it becomes imperative that all stakeholders stay synchronized in a real-time modeling environment for easier communication, collaboration, and participation. Such environment gives them the visibility, transparency, and quick access and enables creation, collaboration, and sharing of designs easier and faster. IBM Architecture Room Live! (Live!) is created with such requirements in mind.
Live! is a web-based real-time, multi-user, collaborative modeling environment for globally distributed teams. Simple design sessions on a shared whiteboard and the ability to collaborate globally in real-time makes Live! a powerful offering for your business. Live! is as simple as a whiteboard, but it's more than just drawing. All your designs are based on a modeling backbone assuring consistency and integrity for all your architectural domains.
