Enterprise Architecture

How do I develop a holistic view of my organization, business processes, and technology to ensure strategic alignment?

The Challenge

• I need to develop a plan to bring greater alignment between the IT platform and business processes.
• I need to develop an overall IT strategy that ensures investments are tied to the correct business objectives.
• I need to assess the ability of our company’s IT platform and business processes will scale properly as the business grows.
• I need to establish a set of over-arching principles and standards for the management of our IT platform.
• I need an effective method for identifying enterprise wide gaps and redundancies in the IT platform and within our business processes.
• I need to develop high-level blueprints of our business processes, systems, data, and infrastructure in order to manage and direct a large project or transformational effort.
• I need an effective method for organizing requirements and selecting a vendor for a large system replacement that improves the probability of success.
• I need an approach for determining which core business processes and/or IT capabilities should be in-sourced versus out-sourced.
