Enterprise Architecture and Infrastructure

HBSC’s Enterprise Architecture and Infrastructure Practice focuses on building a strong technology foundation for efficiently executing business strategy. We begin by understanding the business objectives and key business processes that will enable the company to improve their operations. Next we address the level of system integration and business process standardization that is necessary to build a strong foundation for execution. HBSC works with clients to define and adhere to architectural principles that often result in more efficient and effective ways of doing business.

As part of our analysis, we analyze the existing architecture from the following 4 perspectives:

• 1. Transaction Systems
• 2. Integration Technology
• 3. Infrastructure
• 4. Analytical Capability

We analyze the IT organization’s current daily operations as well as any new project-based initiative. This provides an organizational and architectural base-line from which to improve the digitization of business processes and enable improved analytics. The output of our analysis process is an Enterprise Architectural roadmap that enables the organization to build the new capability one project at a time or in parallel based on budgetary constraints.

We also advise organizations on solutions and strategies around data storage, application management and security to meet business objectives. Our service offerings include assessing current and future business requirements, developing technical blueprints and third-party vendor evaluations.
