Determine the best adaptation of industry standard methodologies that suits their environment
Provide guidance for both development and compliance validation by creating metamodels of and frameworks for the software architecture to be employed
Model the current and future state of the business and determine the scope of IT projects via corresponding system models
Model the solution space with platform independent models that can then be implemented by various technologies
Business Modeling
Analysis & Design
Creating complete, precise, and concise models of the business is critical for understanding the direction of the company and the part that IT can play in that direction. This is essential for business and IT alignment. We work closely with your business experts to create a business model that can be understood by both business analysts and IT specialists. The approach provides precision without code, eliminating the standard pitfall of leaving business decisions to programmers.
Creating a PIM (Platform Independent Model) helps to ensure a full understanding of the IT solution before applying the underlying technology. Creating PSMs (Platform Specific Models) realizes that solution for whatever target infrastructures are decided upon.
Enterprise Architecture Modeling
Process & Tool Use Improvement
Understanding how everything fits together and providing patterns and frameworks makes software development consistent and predictable. Creating metamodels of your architecture formalizes that understanding and provides a precise roadmap for going from the artifacts at one level of abstraction to those of the next level.
Understanding the development process and resulting artifacts provides repeatability and manageability. There are numerous guidelines provided by the industry, RUP being one of them. But reading about it and doing it are two different things. Knowing what is essential to the process and what is a distraction can mean the difference between success and failure.
