Introduction to Boldo

Welcome to the Boldo documentation — your enterprise architecture modelling platform designed to reconnect strategy, systems, and teams.

Boldo was created in response to a simple observation: organisations are evolving in increasingly complex environments, yet most architecture tools remain obscure, rigid, and limited to a handful of experts. As a result, architecture is too often endured rather than used as a lever for alignment and transformation.

We built Boldo to change that.

Our promise

• Model faster: an intuitive interface, dynamic graphs, and an experience designed for action.
• Align stakeholders: a single source of truth that’s accessible to IT, business, and leadership teams.
• Uncover levers: impact analysis, transformation scenarios, and automatic detection of inconsistencies or critical dependencies.
• Strengthen governance: a flexible, customisable metamodel that remains structurally sound.

Who is it for?

Boldo is designed for any organisation looking to better understand, manage, and transform its information systems and business processes:

• CIOs and digital transformation leaders
• Enterprise architects
• Consultants and business analysts
• Product, data, and business teams

What you'll find in this documentation

The Boldo documentation is designed to guide you through every aspect of the platform — from core modelling principles to advanced features for collaboration and governance.

1. Using the Metamodel Builder
   Learn how to define your organisation’s modelling framework using the metamodel builder: create asset types, define relationship types, configure properties, modelling rules and automated behaviours.
2. Key Concepts
   Understand the core concepts behind Boldo: assets, relationships, instances, views, filters, inheritance, and typologies — the shared language for consistent and collaborative modelling.
3. Managing the Inventory of Assets and Relationships
   Explore how to create, edit, link, and enrich your business, application, data, or infrastructure assets. Maintain a structured, up-to-date, and navigable inventory.
4. Data Storytelling and Visualisation
   Use dynamic views, nested maps, and graphs to tell business stories, analyse transformation scenarios, or highlight critical dependencies.
5. Organisation Management
   Set up your workspaces, structure your organisation (teams, domains, projects), and establish governance for models and collaboration.
6. User Account Management
   Manage user access across the platform: create accounts, assign roles, set permissions, share spaces, and monitor user activity.
