Step 2: Enterprise Rationalization
With the Enterprise Reference Architecture in place, you’re ready to experience the benefits of Enterprise Rationalization.
A typical conundrum
Let’s take a typical business scenario that impacts both the field and IT—it could be integrating a merger, preparing for an audit, managing contradictory business processes, deploying a new system, or the like. The business leadership doesn’t know how to solve the challenge with technology, and the IT group doesn’t know enough about the business objectives to propose an IT solution. That’s where BTE comes in.
A logical, practical approach
Leveraging the holistic view provided by the Repository, BTE advises clients on how to best align business and IT. We identify risks, roadblocks and resources. Always, we talk about the technical aspects of the project in cost-to-benefit business terms you can easily understand whether you are a CEO, CIO, operations manager, sales director, network architect, business process manager or any other position up or down the organizational ladder.
At this stage, a client can ask “why” or “how” in either business or technical terms and get an answer. They can also gain insight into potential issues before they have a significant business impact. The result? A fully rationalized plan of action.
At this stage, we move on to the Enterprise Roadmap.
