Lucen Timeline is a Microsoft-native timeline and Gantt chart maker that turns complex project data into executive-ready visuals in minutes, directly inside PowerPoint and your browser, with no design skills required. Project managers, PMO leads, and consultants use Lucen Timeline to build polished status slides, program roadmaps, and stakeholder presentations without the manual formatting work. Import your data from Excel, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or Jira, and Timeline does the layout automatically.

Ardoq is the smarter way to EA, enabling organizations to automatically visualize their entire IT landscape by connecting live data from applications, systems, and business processes.

By integrating real-time system data and crowdsourcing intelligence from stakeholders, Ardoq ensures architecture remains accurate, actionable, and accessible across the enterprise.
