Knowledge disappears when people leave
An architect or information manager leaves, and the knowledge about why certain decisions were made goes with them. What remains are outdated documents and no one who still understands the coherence.
Water boards
Your architecture, knowledge, and concepts safeguarded — even when people leave
Water boards face a growing digitalisation challenge: WILMA, Aquo, NL-SBB, and the Environmental and Planning Act. ArchiXL helps water boards embed that knowledge not in people’s heads but in systems, so you can continue building even when people change roles or leave.
The Aquo standard is mandatory.
So is your own conceptual framework.
The Aquo standard is the leading semantic standard for exchanging water data in the Netherlands. The Forum Standardisation has placed Aquo on the “comply or explain” list: public sector organisations are required to apply Aquo in ICT procurement above €50,000.
Aquo regulates the sector. However, each water authority also has its own conceptual framework, its own definitions, and its own terminology that must align with Aquo and comply with NL-SBB, the mandatory standard for describing concepts.
The Aquo concepts themselves already run on BegrippenXL, via Rijkswaterstaat and the Water Information Centre. ArchiXL therefore supports the sector standard for all Dutch water management organisations.
As an interim manager or newly appointed leader, you have limited time to deliver structural improvements
That requires an approach that delivers quick results and does not depend on a single person holding everything in their head. ArchiXL offers water boards a proven route: from fragmented knowledge to a secured, accessible information management system.

Architecture models live in silos
ArchiMate models are stored in tools that only architects can access. Boards and management never see them. The models are created, but are not used for decision-making.
Everyone speaks a different language
Water boards, Rijkswaterstaat, municipalities, and chain partners: everyone uses the same terms with different meanings. Aquo and NL-SBB enforce a shared language, but implementation varies across water boards and often lags behind.
WILMA remains theory
The reference architecture exists, but translating it to the organisation itself is a task for which there is never enough time. Every architect starts again from scratch, without being able to build on what has already been done.
Reorganisations erase organisational memory
Water boards are reorganising and digitising at the same time. In the process, critical institutional knowledge is lost. Projects are restarted that were already designed earlier, without anyone realising it.
Obligations are piling up
NL-SBB and Aquo are on the “comply or explain” list. NIS2, the Environmental and Planning Act, and BGT source data stewardship all add to the burden. The compliance stack is growing, while capacity is not. Without tooling, this cannot be solved through effort alone.
