Looking for a Jalapeno (Orbus) alternative?
Jalapeno was Capsifi's business architecture platform. Its capabilities are now offered within OrbusInfinity Business Architecture. Compare that scope with Boldo's.
Jalapeno and OrbusInfinity Business Architecture vs Boldo
Jalapeno / OrbusInfinity Business Architecture
Description
Jalapeno was developed by Capsifi, a company acquired by Orbus Software on 11 December 2024. Orbus now presents this offering under the name OrbusInfinity Business Architecture, formerly Capsifi. It connects strategy, business capabilities, value streams, processes, customer journeys, initiatives and technologies within a shared model.
Boldo lets you build a metamodel from configurable asset types, properties and relationship types. The data is then used in views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards.
Key Features
Capability and value stream mapping
Customer journeys and service blueprints
Configurable assessments, heatmaps and dashboards
Scenarios, roadmaps and strategy-to-execution traceability
Pros
Model linking strategy to technologies
Capabilities, value streams and customer journeys
Scenarios, assessments and heatmaps
Cons
Pricing not published, provided on request
Offering structured into platform and solutions
Compare a business extension and a metamodel to build
Boldo · Aperçu produit
OrbusInfinity provides extensions, reports and visualizations dedicated to business architecture. The platform also supports a configurable metamodel, with custom object types, attributes and relationships. It can therefore adapt to the organization's own framework.
Boldo also provides a configurable metamodel. The difference is that the organization directly defines its asset types, their properties and their relationships, without claiming to automatically reproduce the specialized practices and visualizations of OrbusInfinity Business Architecture.
Give stakeholders the right level of access
OrbusInfinity publishes governed views, dashboards and reports for stakeholders who do not need a full license. The platform also offers permissions by role, by function and by content.
In Boldo, readers consult shared content and editors contribute according to their role and access domain. The amount of training required depends, in both tools, on the user's role, the complexity of the model and the governance rules.
Boldo · Aperçu produit
Compare the forms of output
Boldo · Aperçu produit
OrbusInfinity Business Architecture offers capability maps, value streams, customer journeys, heatmaps, dashboards, shareable sites, scenarios and roadmaps. These outputs cannot be described as mere static diagrams.
Boldo offers views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards connected to the same knowledge base.

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 several forms: views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards. Each format meets a different need, from detailed exploration to presenting indicators.
