Questions and Answers

I do not know ISA88 standard, the profile seems defined in very detail. Is Enterprise Architect common modelling tool among the standard-related companies and community?

As far as I know, it's not used as a common tool.

Your presentation proves that EA supports any kind engineering solutions, not only pure IT solutions. You have adopted the universal tool to Your specific domain. You have freedom to change anything by Your own. Could You compare the products on the market to Your solution? From prise, flexibility, usability point of view? How big effort You have invest in creation of this solution?

The freedom to tailor the modelling capabilities based on the needs of the customer is a big advantage of using EA. Standard product are mostly more expensive or related to products of the automation supplier. effort is relatively low because we have split the MDG in different profiles you we can reuse elements of it.

Is it possible to download the example you have shown? What is the licence of the the MDG you have designed?

Because we tailor MDG's or parts of it for our customers (on their needs) we normally don't use licence costs. We used it as part of a service we deliver.
