Enterprise Architecture Services
IHSYSTEM provides strategic value to organizations in the
process of enhancing their enterprise architecture. We offer
a full range of enterprise architecture services, from strategy
consulting through final implementation:
Strategy Consulting
IHSYSTEM helps customers align their business strategy to
the appropriate enterprise architecture by identifying key
business drivers and translating them to a technology blueprint.
This strategic plan can be expanded to include data and
application architectures as well. After defining requirements,
IHSYSTEM maps them to various technical paths and organizational
models to develop a strategic vision for enterprise computing.
Typically, the strategy identifies the current and likely
future requirements for the enterprise architecture, technical
and organizational issues that must be addressed to optimize
performance, and the approach for enhancements to support
business needs.
Architecture Design
IHSYSTEM then translates the enterprise architecture strategy
into technical design requirements. We assess the economics
of established versus emerging technologies, adjusted for
technical and market risks. The proposed architecture is
usually presented as both a conceptual and physical model
that optimizes performance. Performance is measured by factors
such as investment expense, operating cost, system availability,
and the degree to which the enterprise architecture can
support both existing business strategy and be adapted to
sustain emerging trends.
Operational Assessment
IHSYSTEM conducts both audit and risk studies that include
a comprehensive analysis of capacity, performance levels,
and contingency and security plans. We then use these assessments
to identify various technical and organizational issues,
rank those issues, and propose mitigation strategies.
Implementation Planning
We can support implementation engagements from providing
expert advice to customer throughout implementation, to
managing detailed migration and roll-out strategies on your
behalf.
