How We Work

Enterprise Architecture 

Firstly, let's define the service. In essence, Enterprise Architecture involves optimising, across the enterprise, the often-fragmented legacy of processes (both manual and automated) into an integrated environment. This environment is responsive to change and supportive of the delivery of the business strategy. The effective management and exploitation of information and Digital Transformation are key factors to business success, and indispensable means to achieving competitive advantage. An Enterprise Architecture addresses this need, by providing a strategic context for the evolution and reach of digital capability in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment.

Finding Balance 

Furthermore, a good Enterprise Architecture enables you to achieve the right balance between Business Transformation and continuous operational efficiency. It allows individual business units to innovate safely in their pursuit of evolving business goals and competitive advantage. At the same time, the Enterprise Architecture enables the needs of the organisation to be met with an integrated strategy, which permits the closest possible synergies across the enterprise and beyond.

Documentation 

Lastly, much of the global privacy legislation demands that processes around personal data are fully documented in a way that can be easily understood by untrained readers — such as the data subjects and judges and lawyers. The penalties for failing to have this can be very significant. Clearly, the creation of this basic documentation arises from the changed fundamental considerations and this is now crucial.

An effective Enterprise Architecture can bring important benefits to the organisation. Potential benefits of an Enterprise Architecture include:

Why Review and Develop Your Enterprise Architecture?

The reasons for embarking on an Enterprise Architecture review or development are varied, including:

  • Business-driven initiatives to enable business transformation; for example, to leverage digital services and products as revenue generating assets.
  • Technology-driven initiatives for efficiency and cost reduction; for example, technology consolidation initiatives, where the consolidation destination can be physical, virtual, or a combination.
  • Merger or acquisition, where the return on investment is only realised after technology efficiencies are realised.
  • Management of technical debt accrued by agile development initiatives.

 

In all of these situations, Enterprise Architecture review or development is needed to manage complexity when change involves multiple systems with multiple inter-dependencies. Often, key people identify areas of change required in order for new business goals to be met. Such people are commonly referred to as the "stakeholders" in the change. The role of the architect is to address their concerns by:

  • Identifying and refining the requirements of the stakeholders.
  • Developing views of the architecture that show how the concerns and requirements are going to be addressed.
  • Showing the trade-offs that are going to be made in reconciling the potentially conflicting concerns of different stakeholders.
  • Without the Enterprise Architecture, it is highly unlikely that all the concerns and requirements will be considered and met.
