An architecture designed for all stakeholders
With Boldo, teams can consult the same assets and reuse their data across several visualisations. Readers explore shared content, while editors contribute according to their roles and access domains.
Bizzdesign Hopex or Boldo: which platform should you choose?
Compare two platforms with different scopes: Bizzdesign Hopex connects architecture, data, risk, compliance and processes, while Boldo offers a customisable architecture repository in the browser.
Check which one matches your disciplines, your governance and your deployment options.
Bizzdesign Hopex, the MEGA legacy at the core of governance
Hopex is the platform historically developed by MEGA International. The acquisition of MEGA by Bizzdesign, announced in May 2024, was finalised in September 2024, and the operations were brought together under the Bizzdesign brand. Bizzdesign keeps Hopex as a separate product. The platform connects enterprise architecture, data, risk, compliance and processes within a common repository, with data collection, workflows, reports, dashboards and a portal.
Boldo, an architecture repository hosted in France
Boldo focuses on architecture mapping with a customisable metamodel, several forms of visualisation and hosting in France.
Model visually, without breaking away from the repository
Boldo · Aperçu produit
HOPEX brings business and IT data together in a unified repository. The platform offers industry content, automated data collection, workflows, reports, dashboards and a self-service portal.
Boldo lets administrators configure object types, their properties and their relationships. To compare the two solutions, test concrete changes to your metamodel, their governance and their effect on existing views.
Compare how each profile accesses information
Bizzdesign presents Hopex as a platform aimed at several disciplines and offers reports, dashboards and self-service views through an enterprise portal. The ways contributors and administrators work nonetheless depend on the roles and the configuration chosen.
Boldo distinguishes readers from editors and lets you distribute access by roles and domains. Compare the real journeys of your architects, contributors and decision-makers on a representative dataset, rather than assuming adoption based on the look of the interface.

Several visualisations from the same data
Boldo lets you present the same knowledge in several forms: views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards. Each format answers a different need, from detailed exploration to presenting indicators.
