Enterprise Architecture

ACG's Enterprise Architecture study ensures that ICT investments are aligned with future business needs.
The results of the study describe the relationships between business, business processes, information, applications and primary infrastructure. The key outcome of the study is an ICT development roadmap that outlines the phases and schedule for future ICT related investments.

ICT development roadmap
The Enterprise Architecture study is highly recommended to customers with emerging or ongoing changes in business environment, business or the ICT portfolio. Typically these kinds of changes include restructurings, mergers, acquisitions or major ICT programs. Furthermore, when the company's ICT has fragmented during the years (thereby becoming very difficult to manage and maintain), the Enterprise Architecture study provides a crystallized roadmap towards better performance. As businesses are faced with these kinds of changes frequently, the Enterprise Architecture Study should be updated from time to time.

Framework and tools for alignment of ICT and business
The Enterprise Architecture study, illustrates the relationship between business and IT, is based on the Enterprise Architecture model. This model provides a framework as well as tools for the study: business, information and system architectures are described using easily understandable, robust and proven tools.

Shared view
This study provides highly valuable information for decision making: where and when to invest. It guides the way to create a shared view: to for business people to understand the goals of IT and for IT people to understand the direction of business. Thereby it provides an aligned, realistic and prioritized roadmap for ICT development.
