Troux's sophisticated integration and collaboration capabilities support multiple business initiatives such as handling mergers, aligning business and IT plans, and consolidating IT assets. The business-driven platform provides new levels of visibility into the complex web of IT resources, programs, and business strategy so the business can see instantly where IT spending and programs are redundant or out-of-step with business strategy. The business suite of applications helps IT to plan and execute faster with data assimilated from various trusted sources within the company.
The platform provides information necessary to relevant stakeholders such as Business Analysts, Enterprise Architects, The Program Management Office, Solutions Architects, and executives within the business and IT.
The transformation platform is not only designed to address today's urgent cost-restructuring agendas, but it also introduces an ongoing IT management discipline, allowing EA and business users to drive strategic growth initiatives. The integration platform provides visibility and control to:
- Uncover and fix business/IT disconnects: This shows how IT directly supports business strategies and capabilities, and ensures that mismatched spending can be eliminated. Troux Alignment helps IT think like a CFO and demonstrate control and business purpose for the billions that are spent on IT assets, by ensuring that all stakeholders have valid and relevant IT information.
- Identify and eliminate redundant IT spending: This uncovers the many untapped opportunities with Troux Optimization to free up needless spend, and apply it either to the bottom line or to support new business initiatives.
- Speed business response and simplify IT: This speeds the creation and deployment of a set of standard, reusable building blocks that are proven to work in agile business cycles. Troux Standards enables the use of IT standards in real time, thereby streamlining the process of IT governance.
- Accelerate business transformation for government agencies: This helps federal agencies create an actionable Enterprise Architecture and comply with constantly changing mandates. Troux eaGov automatically identifies opportunities to reduce costs to business and IT risks, while fostering effective initiative planning and execution within or across agencies.
- Support EA methodology: Companies adopting The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAFTM) can use the Troux for TOGAF solution to streamline their efforts.
- Unlock the full potential of IT portfolio investment: Unifies Strategic IT Planning, EA, and portfolio project management through a common IT governance process. The Troux CA Clarity Connection enables the first bi-directional integration in the market between CA Clarity Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and the Troux EA repository for enhanced IT investment portfolio planning, analysis, and control.

All of these capabilities are enabled through an open-architected platform that provides uncomplicated data integration tools. The platform provides Architecture-modeling capabilities for IT Architects, an extensible database schema (or meta-model), and integration interfaces that are simple to automate and bring online with minimal programming efforts.
