Dragon1 Inc. is a SaaS technology company that develops and markets strategic enterprise software and platforms.
Dragon1 Software helps governments, large corporations, and small and medium-sized businesses realize their ambitions, strengthen their competitiveness and innovation by implementing AI systems, developing digital products and services, (re)training employees, building a sustainable, secure organization.
Our USP is Business Blueprinting. It focuses on the design and implementation of solutions through agile, data-driven enterprise architecture. Keeping the complexity of transition and transformation projects under control.
Unlike traditional EA approaches, Dragon1 blueprinting provides real-time data visualizations that directly support decision-making.
The blueprints consist of visually and dynamically interconnected layers, from customers and markets to governance, processes, data, applications, IT infrastructure, etc., aligned with strategic information to provide one or more comprehensive views.
Supporting better management, decision-making, strategic alignment, rationalization, and diminishing risks across the organization.
We sell globally, with our partners, software user licenses (PRO edition, BUSINESS edition, or ENTERPRISE edition) of the saas software collaboration platform. Individuals, projects, and architecture teams create interconnected ‘big pictures’ to provide leadership with insight and a strategic overview, enabling informed decision-making.
Meet our customers. They include companies of all sizes across many industries, such as finance, retail, and government, including major players like EAD, IFCU, MenaBev, PDO, and Pyrotek.
Two layers (i.e., business processes and applications) that are dynamically linked together in this blueprint for a health care company.
Dragon1 develops intelligent software solutions to solve complex issues. For example, where are the security risks in the IT infrastructure? Or, how can we obtain strategic alignment in our organization?
Therefore, an Architecture Center is often built within the Viewer, containing all vital information, including policy, standards, markets, products, security, services, work processes, software applications, databases, and operational data flows.
The software measures all dependencies and impacts in EA products, including strategy, cybersecurity blueprints, process-application landscapes and portfolios, heatmaps, technology roadmaps, concept and principle diagrams, graphs, charts, dashboards, and more. Often, these EA products are stored in Atlases, allowing for easy maintenance.
As a software company, we focus on creating software that enhances comfort, ease of use, benefits, and control. Our customers state that Dragon1 is the best EA/BPM/GRC/CyberSecurity software they have ever encountered and used.

Our Vision
We, Dragon1 Inc., have a clear vision on five topics: people, organizations, knowledge, information, and thought leadership.
The five topics can and should be visualized at any time for better communication and collaboration.
People often have unused capabilities and competencies
Our vision on people is that they need, can, and should be better relocated in organizations using their capabilities and competencies optimally.
Organizations need to use information more effectively
Our vision on organizations is that they need to use information much more effectively to survive the competition. And that even goes for governmental organizations.
Knowledge needs to be made reusable
Our vision on knowledge is that knowledge present in people's heads and organizations is not as reusable as it should be. If made more reusable, knowledge can be used as a competitive edge.
Information can be of strategic impact
Our vision on information is that most organizations are unaware of how they can utilize information to their benefit. If used appropriately, information (presented visually, of course) will have a significant impact, as it supports every strategic decision.
Thought Leadership
Our vision is that the EA field must evolve through new ideas and perspectives. We cannot stand still, because the context in which people work and do their work is constantly changing. Mark Paauwe is a thought leader conducting scientific research into EA Principles and Enterprise Visualizations, to make organizations less complex and function more easily.
Mark also has an EA Tool GITHUB project. There, you can temporarily view some exciting and innovative new features.
Our History
In 2005, Dragon1 Inc. started as a consultancy and training organization. The way we have practiced enterprise architecture has always been different from the rest, with a strong analogy to building architecture. This new 'way of working' with Visual Enterprise Architecture, as we refer to it, has been utilized to develop the Dragon1 Open EA Method, including the Architecture Framework. At the beginning of 2013, it was internationally recognized as an open EA method in The Open Group.
This also led to the development of Dragon1 as a Platform, comprising the following product lines: Enterprise Architecture Tool, BPM Tool, ArchiMate Tool, UML Tool, and Togaf Tool, whitch are the first product lines in this product family. Next, the Project Management Tool and Tools for Visualizing Data are the second product lines. The Chatbot AI Answers and AI Checks, and Digital Twin Software are the third product lines in this product family.
We continually research and develop software using Shark, our software development method, in close relationship with our customers and research firms, such as Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and Omdia. We call that Open Innovation.
Our Mission
We enable EA practitioners to engage the business and CxOs. Business outcomes are the key focus of Enterprise Architecture. Business professionals, business language, and business visuals must achieve this.
Our Values
We are focused on people and organizations. People's values are shifting towards professionalism and the creation of knowledge. The organization's values are sustainability and information as key production factors.
Our Ambition
Over the next two years, our ambition is to become the new standard for visualizing economic, social, and environmental issues at a strategic level, enabling the enterprise of the future, also known as Enterprise 4.0.
