Every organization requires an eye on the ball while spending on IT or information overload can
force you into making erroneous decisions. This process has gained importance with IT commanding a
large budget in most organizations and can be achieved only if all decisions are tied back to the
business strategy of the organization.
Enterprise Architecture can serve as the base methodology to ensure that organizations maximize
their investments. Our approach to Enterprise Architecture involves a business (process) driven
perspective to all IT initiatives.
We evaluate the existing infrastructure and your future direction to provide a robust, scalable
and standards compliant enterprise architecture catering to your need as an agile and changing
enterprise. We can manage the transition of your existing applications to align to your enterprise
architectural vision in an incremental and controlled manner. We evaluate the existing model and
determine the transition paths to deliver the envisioned architecture.
Architecture Evaluation
As part of the architecture evaluation we capture the existing architecture information against a
set of identified parameters. These parameters represent the capability of the architecture to be
scaled, integrated, maintained, extended, secured, reused and relied upon. We evaluate each
enterprise parameter against industry benchmarks to determine the current health of the
architecture. We evaluate the Business, Data, Application and Technology architecture of an
enterprise.
Architecture Definition
The new business, data, application and technology architecture is defined taking into
consideration the architectural principles and requirements identified during the architecture
evaluation phase. We perform a gap analysis on the existing architecture and define the to-be
architecture model.
Transition Path Identification
The Architecture Evaluation Matrix helps us identify the architecture requirements, priority and
the minimum qualifying value for each requirement. A plan is developed for the incremental
transition of each individual architectural view. Each transition phase delivers improved values
for a set of enterprise parameters.
Incremental Transition Process
Using industry best practices, we implement incremental transitions based on requirement
priorities. Our best of breed development processes enable a smooth transition to the envisioned
enterprise architecture. Each incremental transition is guided by the expected values in the
Architecture Evaluation Matrix.
