Delivering Value to the Enterprise
The Government Enterprise Architecture Solution (GEAS) can transform the way you deliver products or services via a methodology that helps you evaluate your organization’s current state, define a desired future state, evaluate alternatives based on a common set of principles and manage the change from current to future across the whole organization. By creating an enterprise architecture (EA) as the foundation for defining new capabilities, you can link relevant supporting technologies to your organization’s business objectives and mission – and deliver significant value to the enterprise.
GEAS is a combination of our patented Agile RightStep® EA methodology and a well defined tool methodology that together encompasses seven key capabilities that are deployed based on the particular client environment and the client’s level of organizational EA maturity. Each of the seven key capabilities comprising GEAS are described below:
- Capture – Gathers information about the enterprise including mission, vision, goals, applications and supporting IT
- Compilation – Extracts, transforms and populates the repository with information
- Presentation – Depicts the architecture in a manner that is appropriate to the audience, providing EA data for management decision making
- Repository – Places the EA model and related artifacts under configuration management in a secure repository
- Analyze – Provides the ability to search and evaluate the EA information stored in the repository using the analysis engine to support business decisions (for example, the prioritization of IT initiatives/spend relevant to impact on the business mission of the organization)
- Hosting – A secure, managed environment containing the repository with the models comprising the EA; can be performed by the client or outsourced to us as part of the EA services
- Sustaining – The processes necessary for ongoing support, updating and integration of the EA into the day-to-day business operations of the enterprise
GEAS leverages two HP offerings/capabilities including:
- Agile RightStep® – Our patented, time-tested EA methodology with a 10+ year record of success is used in the capture, compilation, analysis and presentation module.
- Organizational Change Management – Provides a government agency with the support necessary to successfully implement the desired “to be” business processes and corresponding IT systems/applications.
