Content: The relationships among these elements dictate and specify what the organization does, and what senior stakeholders need to do to meet the organization’s common goals. As shown in the Figure at the right of this paragraph, the business architecture discipline is involved in the strategic, marketing and operational planning of any new corporate initiative. Each business architecture initiative then needs to be delivered and executed by enterprise architects, program managers, portfolio managers, project managers, solutions architects, solutions software developers and of course business analysts according to plans coming from corporate executives. Why Is Business Architecture Valuable? Does your organization suffer from chronic disconnect between stakeholders? A common problem in today’s business comes from the upstream corporate vision that too often fails to get successfully translated into actionable objectives. Downstream, critical coordination fails amongst business units, as well as between the business and IT. This is why Business Architecture serves to properly align the organization within all its business units. Business Architecture reveals how an organization is structured and can clearly demonstrate how elements such as capabilities, processes, organization and information fit together. The IRIS Business Architect software makes it easy for Business Architects to deliver to all senior stakeholders a reusable set of assets – in a commonly understood language – that enables your company to quickly assess and make strategic or operational changes.
