Boldo · Aperçu produit
Reason #1
Compare contribution paths
NH360 Enterprise Connect relies on a configurable repository and standard models, presented on its product page. Access to the product goes through a demo on request from North Highland.
Boldo distinguishes readers from editors, with rights based on role and access domain. Contributors collaborate directly in the tool thanks to built-in comments, mentions and notifications. An account opens in self-service on app.boldo.io, with a free 14-day trial, no commitment.
Reason #2
Compare the available visualizations
NH360 Enterprise Connect offers standard models, heatmaps, value stream maps, customer journeys, roadmaps and process models. Repository objects are reused across these representations.
Boldo offers views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards.

Reason #3
Compare model configuration
NH360 Enterprise Connect highlights a configurable, scalable repository ("Configurable, Scalable Repository") along with standard models on its product page.
Boldo lets administrators define asset types, properties and relationship types. Evolving the metamodel remains a governance decision: it is prepared based on existing data.

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 do not have to fit into a rigid framework: the model evolves with your organization, not the other way around.
Several visualizations 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.
Public pricing, available at any time
From €39 excl. tax per editor/month, with detailed public prices on the pricing page (Enterprise on quote). Boldo offers a free 14-day trial, no commitment, with a self-service account.
Support centered 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.
