Understanding EA SaaS
What Is EA SaaS?
EA SaaS is a cloud-based version of Sparx Enterprise Architect (Sparx EA), a well-known and proven modeling tool. With a user base of nearly 1million worldwide, one of its key features as an Enterprise Architect Software as a Service (EA SaaS) is collaborative modeling, enabling users to initiate architecture modeling without encountering any infrastructural or operational complexities.
☁︎
In the past, setting up Enterprise Architect (Sparx EA) required installing it on individual machines and connecting to a remote database or a cloud repository. This process involved significant effort in terms of infrastructure provision, software setup, and database maintenance.
☁︎
However, with more teams moving to a ‘Cloud Only’ strategy, the ‘On Premises’ setup is becoming a thing of the past. This can be attributed to the introduction of EA SaaS.
☁︎
The EA SaaS allows users to get onboarded and start working almost instantly.

How it Works
What is required to get started with the Cloud Platform

The “EA SaaS” is a service that allows you to use Sparx Enterprise Architect through a web browser. On the other hand, the “EA infrastructure” comprises the central repository and all associated components, including the Floating License Manager and remote HTTPS access setup, among others.
How it Works
Seamless user experience with SSO
The platform integrates with your organizations Single sign-on (SSO), and allows hassle less and secure access to all tools in the Sparx platform (EA, Prolaborate, etc) from a single URL.
Why SSO
EA SaaS Unified Authentication portal
An Enterprise SSO Implementation takes into consideration
- Corporate Security – Password policies
- Two Factor Authentication (2FA) implemented at the SSO layer
- Joiner, Leaver process – all users are managed centrally in the SSO setup
- Access Controls and Restrictions – Group-level policies set at the Enterprise level to ensure Role Based Access Control
In today’s digital era, where remote work is prevalent, it is crucial for any solution to align with the organization’s User Management system and policies. The Sparx platform consists of various elements, requiring users to log in multiple times to access specific repositories based on their assigned roles.
Nevertheless, the ‘EA SaaS’ unified Authentication Portal offers a streamlined User Experience by reducing the authentication process to just one step. Once authenticated through the Enterprise authentication method, the EA SaaS application takes care of granting user access to the desired tool.
