Modelling-as-a-Service – Drive Strategic Clarity Through Living Models

Make Smarter Decisions with On-Demand Enterprise Modelling

Modelling-as-a-Service (MaaS) gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence. At Knotion, we provide organisations with continuously updated enterprise models that reflect your current and future state—so you can understand complexity, test assumptions, and make intelligent, evidence-based decisions faster.

We don’t just model for the sake of documentation. We model to unlock insight, reveal patterns, and guide transformation. Whether you’re tackling business change, technology modernisation, or strategy execution, our models provide the decision intelligence needed to move from ambiguity to action.

How Knotion Helps You Use Models to Lead with Clarity

Knotion’s Modelling-as-a-Service approach combines best-practice modelling frameworks with powerful digital tools to create dynamic, interactive models that evolve with your organisation.

Our models are built to support strategic execution—not sit on a shelf. We help you visualise dependencies, surface opportunities, and reduce the risks of change by giving you a clear, up-to-date view of your enterprise.

We embed insight and foresight into your models so you can explore possibilities, understand trade-offs, and make better decisions, sooner.

The Problems Modelling-as-a-Service Solves

Unclear Business and IT Landscape:

Without clear models, it's hard to see how people, processes, data, and systems fit together. MaaS builds a common, up-to-date view of your organisation to guide planning and execution.

Inconsistent or Outdated Documentation:

Traditional models quickly become obsolete. MaaS keeps your models fresh, relevant, and aligned with real-world change—without burdening internal teams.

Fragmented Perspectives and Silos:

When teams work from different assumptions, decisions suffer. MaaS creates a single source of truth, enabling consistent communication and better collaboration.

Lack of Strategic Visibility:

Models are powerful tools for strategy execution—but only if they’re accurate and accessible. MaaS surfaces the insights needed to align decisions with strategic goals.

Slow, High-Risk Change:

Without visibility into the downstream effects of change, transformation is risky. MaaS helps you understand impact before acting, reducing cost and complexity.

How Knotion Delivers Modelling-as-a-Service

At Knotion, Modelling-as-a-Service isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a flexible, scalable capability tailored to your context. We embed ourselves in your transformation journey, working alongside your teams to develop and maintain the models that bring your enterprise to life.

We don’t just build models. We build modelling maturity—ensuring your architecture content is structured, accessible, and aligned to real-world decision-making. From capability maps and process flows to value streams, data models and digital twins, we deliver modelling that goes beyond documentation. It becomes a strategic asset.

Using best-practice frameworks, enterprise modelling tools like ADOIT and ADONIS, and our own proven accelerators, we enable clear visibility, shared understanding, and better, faster decisions across your organisation.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling a mature EA function, we deliver the modelling expertise, structure, and insight you need—when and how you need it.

FAQs

What is Modelling-as-a-Service (MaaS)?
Modelling-as-a-Service is an on-demand capability that helps organisations visualise, design, and manage key business and technology elements—such as processes, systems, data, and capabilities—using expert-led enterprise modelling techniques.

How is this different from traditional enterprise modelling?
Unlike traditional modelling approaches that require in-house expertise and heavy upfront investment, Knotion’s MaaS provides scalable, expert support as and when you need it. It’s flexible, cost-effective, and designed to evolve with your business.

What types of models can Knotion create?
We can model a wide range of enterprise views—from business processes, organisational structures, and capability maps to application landscapes, data flows, and technology architectures. All models are aligned to your strategic goals and transformation journey.

Do I need specific tools to use Modelling-as-a-Service?
No. Knotion provides access to industry-leading tools (like ADOIT, ArchiMate, BPMN, and others) as part of our MaaS offering. We handle setup, modelling, and repository management—so you can focus on using the insights, not managing the tooling.

Is Modelling-as-a-Service suitable for smaller organisations or teams?
Yes. Whether you’re a growing organisation or part of a larger enterprise, MaaS gives you access to high-quality modelling without needing an internal EA team. It’s scalable to your needs and budget.

How does MaaS support transformation initiatives?
Modelling is the backbone of transformation. It brings visibility to how your organisation functions today, clarifies what needs to change, and helps you plan how to get there. With MaaS, you can explore options, test scenarios, and guide change with confidence.

Can I integrate MaaS with our existing EA or transformation tools?
Absolutely. Our experts can work with your existing tools and repositories, or help you migrate and consolidate fragmented models into a centralised, well-governed environment.
