Prism™ Enterprise Architecture Framework Accelerator

An organisation which practices Enterprise Architecture can demonstrate significant strategic advantage over one that does not. The key benefits are:

  • Reduced costs - especially IT related, both ‘steady state’ and when introducing change
  • Improved agility – projects delivered faster
  • Improved alignment between IT and Business – IT initiatives are respected; they support and enable the business

Developing a strong Enterprise Architecture practice is a challenging change process in itself – as evidenced by the budget overrun, extended timescales and failed initiatives which scatter industry. Commonly, ‘Enterprise Architecture initiatives’ have simply failed to deliver on their promised benefits.
