As a Head of Enterprise Architecture (EA), you provide crucial support to the technology and business decision makers in your organization. Based on a thorough understanding of the organization’s current business architecture and IT landscapes, you provide senior and C-level management the necessary insights into their various options and alternatives. You need to deliver optimal guidance and direction to lead your organization through business improvements and transformations necessary to execute its strategy. You are also constantly advocating for simplicity to keep the ever-growing complexity of your enterprise in check.
A key challenge to enterprise architecture is delivering business value at speed and providing short-term business outcomes while also executing on a longer-term strategy. Communicating clearly with management about options and alternatives in a complex environment is not easy. To control this complexity, you need to have all the relevant facts at your fingertips, but these are often spread out across many different sources and systems. So, the question becomes: How do you ensure your architecture practice is well-aligned with stakeholders’ needs and the organization’s strategy?
BiZZdesign’s platform provide enterprise architects with a single, model-based source of truth on your enterprise architecture and all relevant related domains, including:
• Business process management
• Application architecture
• Data management
• Strategy models
• Project, program, and IT portfolios
• Business enterprise architecture
Our user-friendly HoriZZon portal offers clear dashboards for decision makers. Our standards-based implementation also makes it easy to link up with other systems to create an integrated view of your enterprise.
