Visible Advantage

Visible Advantage, developed by Visible Systems Corporation, stands as a robust software engineering and repository product tailored for the intricate demands of cross-functional, enterprise-class development. Its core strength lies in its ability to facilitate simultaneous multi-user collaboration, a crucial differentiator that allows entire project teams—including analysts, designers, and software engineers—to work concurrently on various facets of an application or business model without the cumbersome need for post-development reconciliation of conflicting changes. This integrated approach aims to automate the entire software development lifecycle, encompassing strategic business planning, new system development, legacy system re-engineering, and information system management. The tool excels in automating key processes like business planning, data modeling, business process modeling, object-oriented design, data reverse engineering, and the generation of comprehensive documentation and reports. It also offers distinct editions, namely the Enterprise Architecture Edition, which uniquely integrates IDEF1X and IDEF0 standards and provides cost-tracking, and the Data Warehouse Edition, designed to accelerate data warehouse construction by enforcing principles and techniques and integrating existing data marts.
