Turn Architecture into an Operational Management Capability
From architecture insight to structured execution, governance and measurable improvement.
The VDAF Portal is Lavante's architecture management platform, designed to help organisations establish, manage and continuously improve their architecture practice. Built around the Value Driven Architecture Framework, it connects assessments, business capabilities, governance guidance, architecture deliverables and actionable insights in one environment.
From fragmented architecture to a connected practice
Architecture teams often struggle with fragmented information, inconsistent governance and limited visibility into improvement priorities. VDAF is designed to bring these activities together.
Platform capabilities
Architecture Assessments
Use reusable assessment templates and activities to capture findings, recommendations and progress.
Business Capability Management
Manage capability hierarchies, evaluations, scoring and current/target baselines.
Governance & Guidance
Access reusable methods, standards, reference architectures, patterns and templates.
Architecture Content & Deliverables
Maintain architecture documents, evidence and deliverables with version history and controlled access.
Dashboards & Insights
Review assessments, recommendations and capability insights. Advanced personalised dashboards are in development.
Designed for collaboration
The portal supports platform administrators, contributors and customer representatives, with organisation-scoped access and resource-level authorisation.
Security and data protection
The platform is designed around Microsoft Entra authentication, role-based permissions, customer isolation, controlled document access and auditability. Mandatory MFA and operational security assurance are release requirements. The portal remains in controlled development and validation; production availability has not yet been announced.
Flexible subscription model
The VDAF Portal is planned as a flexible subscription offering with a platform subscription, named-user licences and scalable content-management capacity. Optional VDAF Consulting Services and Managed Governance support can assist adoption and continuous improvement.
Pricing and subscription packages will be announced closer to the commercial launch.
