Frequently asked questions
How do we move from BOC Group ADOIT to Entelim, and how much work is it?
There is no direct connector from BOC Group ADOIT, so you move your data as files. Export an ArchiMate Open Exchange file if it offers one, or spreadsheets if not, then import them with batch import. The work is the export from BOC Group ADOIT and checking what arrived, which the import history records. If you would rather not do it yourselves, the architecture health check does the import and analysis for a fixed $4,500, and onboarding is $1,500 on top of the Team plan.
Will we lose data moving from BOC Group ADOIT?
What comes across is what you can export: elements, relationships and properties from an Open Exchange file, and the columns of a spreadsheet. Anything that lives only inside the old tool, such as its own reports, dashboards, workflow records and user accounts, does not come across, so export what you need before your contract ends. Nothing is removed from BOC Group ADOIT by importing, so keep it running until you have compared counts and spot-checked the results.
What would Entelim cost us compared with BOC Group ADOIT?
BOC offers a free ADOIT:Community Edition and paid multi-user Enterprise Edition tiers with no prices shown, and Gartner Peer Insights reports pricing that varies with users and modules. Entelim's price does not depend on how many applications you hold: Community is free for up to three people, Startup is $49 a month for up to ten, Team is $29 per editor a month ($290 billed annually) with read-only members free, and Enterprise starts at $24,000 a year. Self-hosting is free. Twenty editors on Team annual come to $5,800 a year.
What would we give up by leaving BOC Group ADOIT?
You would give up BOC's marketed route to ask ChatGPT, Copilot or another AI tool about your architecture with answers pulled from ADOIT. Entelim's AI Chat works inside Entelim, and connecting an outside assistant to your model is not something you can do today. There is no one-click transfer, since Entelim imports files.
What would we gain by moving from BOC Group ADOIT to Entelim?
A published price, free self-hosting, and ArchiMate 3.2 modelling. Entelim's AI Chat answers questions about your model without a separate AI tool or connector. A proof drawer shows how each derived connection was reached, and duplicate detection and a business case come in the same product.
Can we run BOC Group ADOIT and Entelim side by side before deciding?
Yes. Import a copy of your model into the free Community plan or a self-hosted copy, ask the same questions in both, and leave BOC Group ADOIT untouched. The health check puts your own data through Entelim for a fixed price and date.
Is there a free way to try ADOIT?
Yes. BOC's community site confirms a free ADOIT:Community Edition, separate from the paid multi-user Enterprise Edition tiers. Entelim's free Community plan covers one organisation and up to three people, with no time limit.
Is ADOIT Enterprise Edition pricing public?
No fixed price is published. Gartner Peer Insights reports that pricing varies by the number of users and the modules selected, with annual billing options.
Do we have to publish our code if we use Entelim?
No. Self-hosting is free under AGPL, and a commercial licence is available for organisations that do not want AGPL's obligations.
