Company
Flashmap Systems®, Inc. is an information technology company. The
founders of Flashmap Systems have played a key role over the past two
decades in developing and disseminating intuitive, visual, and taxonomic
frameworks for modeling enterprise architectures. These enable IT organizations
to define, describe, manage, share and enforce their enterprise architecture
decision-making and standardization efforts.
The founders of Flashmap Systems developed the first “Client/Server Middleware Road Map” and Client/Server Aboveware Road Map” that appeared as inserts multiple times in Computerworld and took the industry by storm. To date more than a million copies of the Middleware and Aboveware Road Maps have been distributed worldwide. Having now been updated (see www.ITscout.org), these highly graphical images depict a well-regarded and accepted taxonomy of IT product categories. They visually depict the overwhelming complexity associated with enterprise computing providing an easily understandable, holistic, visual representation of the IT landscape.
Noting the wide acceptance and usefulness of its graphical
and taxonomic maps, Flashmap has developed an online, Web-based product
called FlashAtlas®. FlashAtlas enables the rapid development and easy
maintenance of a collection of Flashmaps. FlashAtlas is a framework for
Flashmaps. Flashmaps are created from models that are entirely user-definable
and user-extensible. Companies have the option of using either the models
that come automatically bundled inside the FlashAtlas product or they
can create customized models. This provides companies with consistency
with their past and current infrastructure practices and no learning curve
for their users in understanding new terminology when using the FlashAtlas
product.
