Models Bursting with Info but Rarely Used
Models are the backbone of modern businesses: They bring together processes, IT structures and expertise and serve as the foundation for transparency, control, innovation and smarter company decisions. But in reality, things often look different. The knowledge stored in models is often locked away: Only experts understand notation, most employees can’t easily access the content, it’s not easy to share model information, it can quickly become outdated or never makes its way into day-to-day work. Valuable knowledge is often locked away behind closed doors.
Inaccessible KnowledgeOnly experts can normally understand models. The content is too complicated for most employees and then not used.
Poor Knowledge TransferIt’s often hard to find model information or pass it on. Teams often spend ages hunting about for the right information.
Outdated ContentModels are not updated regularly. Decisions end up being made based on old info.
Wasted PotentialThe investment in modeling does not pay off if the knowledge gained cannot be effectively used in day-to-day decisions.

AI in modeling: Practical Use Cases
AI opens up tons of new possibilities for working with enterprise models. These use cases show how AI is changing the game:
Quality Assurance & Optimization
- AI finds gaps, inconsistencies and areas for improvement.
- Existing models are automatically analyzed and optimized.
- It reviews existing architectures and suggests better solutions or technologies – based on best practices and external sources.
Knowledge Sharing & Time Saving
- Anyone can use AI to ask questions about models and get clear and easy to understand answers.
- Instead of manually searching, you just ask and the info pops up.
- Questions about processes, IT systems or data flows? AI handles them – freeing up experts and speeding up internal communication.
Keeping Model Info up-to-date & Compliant
