Our team supports you in increasing the maturity of your enterprise architecture. We take a pragmatic approach to your organization and identify what will add the most value for you.
Enterprise architecture enables you to optimise your business in order to achieve your strategic goals. Enterprise architecture consists of different layers:
How those layers are interconnected is essential information for the efficient operations of your business.
Thanks to our experience in launching enterprise architecture within different companies, we are familiar with the common pitfalls that may arise:
The metamodel developed by Evolynx enables you to dive in immediately. Nevertheless, it is important for us to sit down with our customer to establish their expectations regarding enterprise architecture. If necessary, we adjust our metamodel to tailor it to the specific needs of our customer.
The practical implementation for each layer of enterprise architecture depends on your organization. We tailor our approach based on your culture and maturity level. Every company is unique and has its own priorities and its own journey.
Below, we outline a possible approach to implement enterprise architecture in your company.
First and foremost, we organize your chaos. The first step in establishing your enterprise structure is determining your organisational structure. This is achieved by defining your capabilities, the cornerstones of your company. Capabilities determine what your organisation does (or should do) to allow your company to function.
To map the dynamics within your company, you need insight into your end-to-end processes, alongside your capabilities. Using these insights, silos get broken down. With our years of experience in various processes across different industries, we are able to quickly identify the issues, needs and opportunities within your operations. Together, we map your current and future business processes.
Within our framework, we also pay attention to the IT architecture of your company:
Evolynx has developed a unique methodology to represent the rather technical matter of application integrations in an accessible manner, ensuring that both business an IT understand how things work. This is accomplished by modelling the integrations on different levels, a methodology that plays a central role in our entire approach: representing complex matters in a simple way, without the loss of information.
In a successful enterprise architecture organisation, we encounter the above-mentioned roles:
Within smaller companies, different roles can be taken on by the same person.
The roles and responsibilities of business analysts, process owners, enterprise architects and solution architects are integral components of your enterprise architecture. Evolynx strengthens your competencies of your team members and coaches them to excel in their roles, while also facilitates a more effective collaboration between the different roles. This is the only way to make your enterprise initiative successful: your employees have to be able to take on the above-mentioned roles and responsibilities themselves.
Through training, we introduce key concepts and skills throughout our journey. We offer the following training sessions:
Our trainings are always adapted to the maturity of your company.
Where training is a quick way to learn or refine a certain skill, coaching is our personal support to ensure that you can effectively apply what you’ve learned within your own context. We support your internal employees in applying the new techniques, adjust where necessary and let go where possible. Of course, we remain your sounding board for everything related to enterprise architecture.
