Boldo · Aperçu produit
Bee360 covers IT finance, portfolios, resources and architecture. Its website states that CIOs, architects, controllers, process or system owners and project teams access the information relevant to their role.
Boldo offers reader, editor, administrator and owner profiles, complemented by roles and access domains.
Adapt the metamodel to your organization
Bee360 pairs its platform with the BeeCore steering model and transformation support. The vendor explicitly mentions adapting this model along with customizations.

A flexible metamodel that adapts to your reality
Every organization is different. Boldo offers a flexible and evolving metamodel that adapts to your context, your constraints and your maturity level. You don't have to fit into a fixed framework: the model evolves with your organization, not the other way around.
Multiple visualizations from the same data
Boldo lets you present the same knowledge in multiple forms: views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards. Each format meets a different need, from detailed exploration to presenting indicators.
Published pricing
Boldo displays its prices: starting at €39 excl. VAT per editor/month, public prices detailed on the pricing page, Enterprise on quote. You can create an account directly from the application and enjoy a free 14-day trial, with no commitment.
Support focused on value and adoption
Support should be defined according to your offer and your project: metamodel scoping, data import, governance and upskilling of contributors. Check the included scope before comparing the services associated with the two platforms.
