Enterprise Engineering Tools

Enterprise Engineering Tools include Enterprise Modeling Tools, Enterprise Integration Tools, and Enterprise Design Tools. These differ from Engineering Standards (see menu item on left) in that Enterprise Engineering Tools assist their user with the process of planning, integration and design, while Engineering Standards are requirements or recommendations relating to the final enterprise itself.
