IBM Architecture Room LIVE! overview

IBM Architecture Room LIVE! (Live!) is a simple web-based designing application that enables you to create designs on the whiteboards and collaborate with multiple users, including cross-site users at near real-time. All stakeholders can come together in virtual rooms to design on whiteboards. Live! makes the creation of designs using the modeling languages as simple an experience as whiteboarding. You get the wholesome experience of creating your designs using modeling languages such as UML, sharing the designs with others, viewing designs of other members in the group, managing multiple projects, managing groups and users, and so on.

The following lists some of the key features of Live!
  • Web browser based access: Live! can be accessed through a web browser from any supported device that is connected to the internet.
  • Real-time collaboration: Everyone can view the changes you make and no saving is required. Makes it conducive for quicker responses and decision making and for completing the process hierarchies involving different sections of the team simultaneously.
  • Multi-project support: Create and manage multiple projects through multiple Live! Rooms and categorize the contents based on the requirement of each project.
  • Security: Controls authorization to the Live! Rooms by granting selective access to Rooms for the local and Active Directory users and groups.
  • Simplicity: Use modelling elements as opposed to simple figures. This allows you to assign attributes to them, which will be reflected in all their occurrences in the workspace.
  • Ease-of-use: Simple but intuitive user interface that enhances the user experience.
  • Communication: Use the built-in audio-conferencing (Beta feature) and presentation modes to communicate with your teams.
