Enterprise Reference Architecture

Step 1: Enterprise Reference Architecture

A critical foundation for our client engagements, the Enterprise Reference Architecture sets the stage for all our recommendations.   

As organizations grow and IT works to support the business’ needs, the landscape can become clouded with one-off software solutions, process workarounds, departmental silos and redundant systems. By methodically documenting the basic components of enterprise architecture, BTE unravels confusion and clears up the view. 

Investigative reporting

The questions we ask during this step are straightforward and thorough, capturing detailed technology and operations data about your credit union or bank: 

  • What key business imperatives have the biggest impact on productivity and profitability?
  • How are decisions made regarding capital expenditures and large-scale investments?
  • How are various parts of the business using technology to improve organizational efficiency?
  • What teams are in place to support business and technology, and how are they structured?
  • How is IT being used to generate more revenue and/or promote member satisfaction?

What we’re doing is establishing the lay of the land, linking all the components together in an easily understandable way.   

How we do it

BTE utilizes our Enterprise Alignment Explorer, proprietary software that shows a credit union or bank how it is wired together and the correlation of all the parts of the business.   

Only when this process is finished are we ready to move on to the next step: Enterprise Rationalization. 

FAQ: What is Enterprise Architecture?
Think of it as being similar to a balance sheet a CFO creates to show your organization’s financial condition by documenting your assets, liabilities and shareholder’s equity. CIOs create an enterprise architecture map or diagram to provide a picture of the links between your business functions, operational processes, systems and technology components and their marriage to the business strategy of your credit union or bank.
