The Enterprise Architecture practice keeps an oversight over enterprise wide IT directions, IT portfolio’s and the technology directions. There are several Architectural disciplines which can be distinguished. At Lavante we cover Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture. Helping you to find a prioritized balance in IT initiatives, based on your corporate strategy.
Enterprise Architecture oversees the application, data and technology architectures and portfolio’s. Enterprise architecture proactively and holistically leads enterprise approaches to business changes by identifying and analyzing the execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes.
The Business Architecture uses value chains and corporate strategy as input to then decompose the business in products, referencing Business Capabilities and Business Functions
Application Architecture Decomposes the business functions into generic and product application cells. It clarifies the application and integration building blocks the application platform is composed of
The Data Architecture Decomposes the business functions in product and transitional data cells. Specifies transactional data cells as needed for different data consumption requirements
Technology Architecture primarily implements the technology platforms needed to support the application architectures. It manages technology complications enabled by Reference Architectures, while informing us of technology constraints
At Lavante we focus on Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture but having serviced various organizations in the other disciplines, we understand the opportunities, the challenges and the work package in the Data, Application and Technology Architecture domains as well.
