KMA provides an architecture-based approach for mapping the enterprise's value stream from customer needs to the required enterprise capabilities ("Know Why" knowledge). The KMA also explicitly models all of the specific components of business capability (including "Know How" knowledge) required to satisfy these customer needs. This Accelerator enables users to understand the product/service value stream of their customers, as well as the corresponding required capabilities. It also supports other KM knowledge capture, such as communities of practice, tacit and explicit knowledge assets and organizational learning.

KMA also supports Causal Architecture™ modeling that dynamically links Business and IT strategies and implementation projects in the Zachman Framework as well as Community of Practice modeling and analysis.
