Enterprise Architecture Practice Setup

We have helped to create and establish sustainable Architecture functions for our clients. Our experienced change management consultants has helped to address the cultural changes that are required for the successful setup and integration of an architecture practice within your organisation.

Outsourcing the creation and management of your Architecture practice to Enterprise Architects will promote specialisation in your organisation, allowing your architects to focus on their core competencies while you farm out your needs to a team of dedicated, expert consultants. This increases a company's intellectual property and results in higher quality products and services all round.

Using our rich experience and knowledge of enterprise architecture industry standards we will be able to put in place the appropriate capabilities integrated with your existing operating processes. Our focus of the practice is to deliver high-quality enterprise architecture products appropriate for the client.

Typically the type of aspects we will champion for you include although not limited to:

Communications and engagement plan;
EA policies, processes and charter definition;
Architecture engagement and change management processes;
Change Leadership and Management;
EA service definition;
Resource definition and planning

Enterprise architecture can be a powerful business tool for supporting decision-making and enabling business leaders to manage change. It should, however, be available, accessible and intuitive to be effective in the hands of business leaders.
