Enterprise architecture

Enterprise IT resources are a highly complex system. Enterprise Architecture (EA) describes this system and creates standards for its creation and further development. Understanding the whole system so that we can plan and manage it effectively means covering a wide range of perspectives - business processes, organisational structure, applications, data, interfaces and technology.

 

When practiced the right way, Enterprise Architecture brings you financial savings while reducing business risks by:

 

  • Defining the relationships between business processes and IT architecture, helping to more effectively meet business strategy
  • Providing support for strategic decision-making, thereby reducing risk and accelerating change, e.g., during acquisitions
  • Helping to understand the impact of changes, thereby reducing IT development cost
  • Standardising and simplifying the environment, bringing a common understanding of IT management across the organisation and reducing an IT OpEx
  • Simplifying, making purchasing more transparent and faster through both IT standardisation and clear rules, thereby reducing an IT CapEx
  • Overall, increasing enterprise transparency; providing a communication channel at the corporate level; reducing the risks associated with changes in an "unknown environment" and thus optimizes the utilization of resources

WHY SPONSOR THE EA?

  • Because you need to automate your processes
  • Because you want to eliminate all the unnecessary “IT gadgets”
  • Because you want to optimise the utilization of human resources
  • Because you have a lot of data but still not enough information
  • Because you don't understand why business and IT still don't understand each other
  • Because you can't build and fly a plane without proper plans and instructions

 

Because you have to manage your company,

you need to know WHERE you are, WHY and WHERE you are going, WHERE the road leads, HOW long it is, and WHAT you will need on the journey.

 

How to get started?

Before a project kick-off, we recommend first performing an EA maturity assessment of your company. The assessment is carried out on the CMM (Capability Maturity Model) maturity scale in ten different areas.

 

We then recommend that you carry out the assessment regularly, preferably at yearly intervals, to see where you have progressed in the previous year and what areas would be best to focus on in future years.
