How it works · Enterprise Architecture
One architecture that delivers value, from trigger to outcome.
The AlignX Enterprise Architecture workflow connects architecture to strategy, investment and delivery, so architects shape decisions early and show impact before commitment, instead of policing standards after the fact.
An architecture trigger enters, AI triage classifies it and identifies impacts, specialist review workflows assess it, the architecture decision is captured with lineage, delivery stays aligned, and outcomes are reviewed and fed back.
Inside Microsoft 365How work flows, trigger to outcome.
Real enterprise events start the work.
Context at the front door.
AlignX captures the work item, classifies it, identifies stakeholders and dependencies, recommends the review types and governance path, assigns owner and priority, and routes it to the right specialist review.
Purpose-built reviews do the work.

The decision is captured, with lineage.
The architecture decision is consolidated from the reviews, options and trade-offs are compared, a recommendation is recorded, approvals are captured, and the architecture decision record and decision lineage are stored.
Delivery stays aligned; outcomes feed back.
The decision links to projects, roadmaps, resources, vendors, contracts, risks and milestones, with architecture compliance and drift monitored. Outcomes are reviewed, standards updated, and learning captured.
