ADOIT 20.0 Introduces Dynamic Search, Configurable Dashboards, and Application Compliance Assessment

Published

on

By

New capabilities make relevant information easier to find, bring key priorities into focus, and strengthen governance across the architecture landscape.

DUBLIN, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BOC Group today announced the release of ADOIT 20.0, the latest version of their EA suite. The release helps organizations cut through architecture complexity, bring priorities into focus, and act on information they can trust.

As Enterprise Architecture supports more teams and transformation initiatives, maintaining a complete repository is no longer enough. Organizations need accessible information, clear priorities, and reliable data. ADOIT 20.0 responds with connected capabilities for discovery, visibility, governance, and application assessment.

An enhanced search experience helps users find relevant information faster with less query maintenance. Dynamic filters adapt to the current user or date, keeping recurring searches useful as responsibilities and timeframes change.

New Configurable Dashboards bring the architecture data that matters to each user into one personalized view. Flexible widgets provide control over what to display, how to visualize it, and how to arrange the dashboard, which can then be saved and shared.

The new Application Compliance Assessment workspace helps organizations evaluate applications against defined principles, constraints, and requirements. Summary views and heatmaps reveal gaps, compare results, and focus improvement where it is needed most.

Forms Approvals strengthen governance by ensuring proposed repository changes are reviewed before implementation. This helps maintain accurate, consistent architecture data, clarify responsibilities, and build trust in the information teams rely on.

“ADOIT 20.0 helps teams reach the information that matters, shape it around their needs, and rely on it with confidence,” said Christoph Moser, ADOIT Product Manager. “Together, these capabilities make Enterprise Architecture more accessible, focused, and actionable.”

Beyond the user-facing capabilities, ADOIT 20.0 builds on a modern, fully containerized Linux-based foundation – enabling faster innovation while preserving deployment flexibility, an open data model, and enterprise-grade security.

The new release is available immediately to SaaS customers on the BOC AWS Cloud. More information is available on the BOC Group website.

Tareq Amin, CEO HUMAIN, said: 

“Enterprise AI only delivers value when organizations can deploy it securely, reliably, and at production scale. This partnership reflects the momentum of HUMAIN’s recently launched Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, and represents one of our first strategic engagements for the sector as we build an ecosystem of partners to transform financial services and the public sector through AI. Our first investment in a Saudi company with MOZN strengthens our ability to deliver production-grade AI solutions for highly regulated environments, enabling measurable operational impact while expanding access to these capabilities across regional and global markets.” 

Dr Mohammed AlHussein, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, MOZN, added: 

“This investment from HUMAIN is a strong endorsement of MOZN’s mission to empower enterprises with intelligence that matters. As complexity, scale, and regulatory expectations accelerate across industries, institutions need AI that is sovereign, trusted, and built for high-assurance domains. Together with HUMAIN, we are combining world-class infrastructure with deep domain expertise to co-create category-defining solutions built for financial institutions and public sector organizations.”

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From July 18 to 20, the inaugural ENJOY AI 2026 Americas Open was held at the Pan Am Centre in Markham, Ontario, Canada, bringing together hundreds of young innovators from Canada, Mexico, Türkiye, and Ethiopia for robotics competition, hands-on AI and STEM learning, and cross-cultural collaboration.

Sponsored by WhalesBot and jointly organized by ENJOY AI, the Canadian National Robotics Society (CNRS), Kavosh Academy, and Hive5 Academy, the event marked ENJOY AI’s first competition in the Americas and a new step in its growing international presence.

The event received strong support from the local government. Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti welcomed the competition, saying, “It is an honour for Markham, Canada’s high-tech capital, to host ENJOY AI Americas 2026.”

During the event, the City of Markham presented ENJOY AI with a certificate of appreciation, recognizing its efforts to advance STEM education and empower young innovators. The recognition acknowledged ENJOY AI’s contributions to robotics education while reflecting the event’s growing international reach.

On the competition floor, participants programmed, tested, and refined their robots as they worked through a series of challenges.
