Contextualizing the EA Journey

Let’s Begin: Part I

Introduction• Enterprise Architecture is often thought of

incorrectly as an “IT” activity

• Typically the Enterprise Architecture function resides within the CIO organization which does nothing to dispel this thought (Clinger Cohen Act)

• The goal of an EA practice is to take the business strategy and translate them into effective change for the enterprise

Enterprise Architecture (EA) relations to IT?

Purchase, install, and maintain corporate technology assets

Provide security for corporate data

Turn data into information

Provide assistance to reduce inefficiencies

Enable new business processes

IT Mission Statement:The mission of our Information Technology Department is to empower the entire organization in the use of technology through the delivery of efficient, adaptable well managed services.

But, are these promises usually being kept?...

What is Enterprise Architecture?

EA = S + B + T Enterprise Architecture = Strategy + Business + Technology

Get a Different Perspective

Are your competitors talking

about you in their boardrooms?

Does your strategy guide how you

allocate resources? Can every

employee articulate your strategy

and are they empowered to

execute on it?

At NGG, we see strategy as much

more than a plan. We work with

companies in every industry to

develop strategies that deliver

results. We conduct surveys,

interviews, and observations for

comprehensive needs analysis.

Track Key Performance Indicators

(KPIs) to ensure the success of

your Business Programs by

making appropriate adjustments

X-Ray your Business Potentials

New technologies create new

opportunities. But having too

many choices makes prioritizing

them difficult. 

At NGG, we partner with our

clients to produce the broad IT

transformations that are

necessary to extend IT’s

capabilities and create an

organization that is better able

to respond to new

opportunities.

maps to efficiently align your

Technology Capabilities. And

implementation process from

Because the Bottom-line Matters

Focusing on the core customer

base enables a company to cut

through product complexity and

other nuances. If you know

exactly what your primary

customers most want—if you

know what their sweet spot is—

you can concentrate on giving

them exactly that.

At NGG, we help our clients follow

the time honored principle:

Delight the few to attract the

many.

By focusing on their core

customers, customers can tailor

offerings that are exactly what

the core customers want, and

hence are likely to appeal to large

numbers of other customers.
