Inventory of the Enterprise Architecture

Clear the way for sustainable and intelligent decisions. You can create transparency by compiling an inventory of your enterprise architecture. The impact of planned changes on applications, business processes, and other elements of the architecture become predictable. Associated risks can be identified and evaluated easier. Benefit from our years of experience in setting up EA repositories and required EA processes.

IT Demand and Project Portfolio Management

IT demand management focuses on collecting, maintaining, and adjusting the functional demands of the IT landscape. With the introduction of IT demand management, we ensure that requirements are structured, consolidated, and evaluated. Synergies will be uncovered. Based on the IT Project Portfolio Management, an understanding of the overall context of ongoing and planned IT projects is created. The impact of projects on your IT architecture and the temporal dependencies between the projects will become transparent.

Technology Management

Customer requirements are the main focus for any changes to the enterprise architecture. Nevertheless, it is equally important to create a sustainable technological base to keep the EA manageable. It is important to prevent weakening of the architecture by refreshing the underlying technologies continuously. We build a firm foundation through developing your technology roadmap consisting of software and hardware artefacts, configured into standardised, homogenous, technology platforms.

Application Management

The main focus is the design and continuous optimisation of your application portfolio. The major kinds of application systems required to process the data and support the business need to be defined. Application Management aims at a homogeneous, standardised, and redundancy-free application landscape. Thus, our claim is to accurately align your business processes and applications with consideration to the identified and restructured ‘business capabilities’ for your organisation.

Data Management

It has become increasingly recognised that information is the most important strategic resource that any organisation has to manage. Timely access to accurate data is crucial for the quality and efficiency of your business processes. The major types and sources of data necessary to support the business are defined. Maintaining duplicate data in multiple applications is avoided where possible. Benefit from our years of experience. We support you in building and developing the data architecture best suitable for you.

IT Master Planning

IT Master Planning is concerned with the design of the target architecture and provides information on how the target architecture will be implemented (migration plan). The target architecture must be financially and technologically achievable while being grounded in the business needs of the organisation. Together with the current architecture it forms the basis for deriving intermediate architectures and related migration plans. The EA will be the benchmark for all your investments, guaranteeing that all your projects are in conformity with the IT strategy.
