Enterprise Architecture Services
Core capability focus
What is it? The focus of Modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) service improvements are to (1) Charter/design the EA capability to support organization policies and goals and (2) deliver side-by-side implementation of the services itself — from a people, practices, and tool/technology perspective. These services focus on “enterprise-first” EA service development — in contrast, our Agile EA/BPM collaboration packs are “agile-first” — intended to apply a “minimum viable” mix of EA/BPM to real-life agile programs.
Although the focus of EA services are typically from the enterprise perspective, the “modern” emphasis on EA looks for opportunities to improve service agility (e.g., adoption of cloud technology and tailoring SDLC/Continuous Delivery Pipeline to utilize enhanced BPM for better Behavior-Driven-Development).
Who benefits? We prepare and position your organization’s EA service to provide maximum benefits to solution development — where speed and quality are emphasized (which program managers and business owners are typically concerned about). At the same time, the core EA/BPM capabilities provide IT planning and technical debt relief, which IT folks are typically concerned about.
Better context — for better collaboration, fewer blockers, higher quality/risk/security compliance, IT planning and tech debt control.
Integrate front-end design planning with back-end asset maintenance, allowing IT maintenance staff to prioritize key IT assets for maintenance (or retirement) in a timely manner, using high-quality updated design artifacts.
Align project/program development, IT ops & maintenance with key strategic goals, balancing “front-line development agility” against “ongoing sustainment” policies (e.g., security/compliance & tech debt control)
Start enabling your programs/projects and Information Technology department to realize the day-to-day & long-term benefits of Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Management.
Enhance your EA/BPM service to include Application/Technology Portfolio Management capabilities — enabling better application/technology lifecycle planning / prioritization and cost control.
