EAM Implementation

We introduce enterprise architecture management in your organisation: not as a big-bang project but in stages, using a proven method based on best-practice EAM and TOGAF. The first stage delivers results that support decisions within a few months.

Duration3–6 months per stage

FormatWorkshops on site and remote

OutcomeTarget picture, roadmap, governance

Start an enquiry

An EAM that people actually use.

Goals and questions: which decisions should EAM support, for whom, and how do we measure the value?

Inventory: applications, interfaces, data flows and a capability map.

Target picture and roadmap with quick wins and strategic initiatives.

Governance: roles, EAM board, maintenance process and a suitable tool such as SAP LeanIX.

Four steps, one stage at a time.

Step 1Advisory call30 minutes by video. You describe your situation and goals.

Step 2Current state and target pictureStakeholders, application landscape, interfaces and capabilities, a maturity assessment, plus first quick wins.

Step 3Target architecture and roadmapTarget landscape plan, technology and integration standards, prioritised roadmap.

Step 4Governance and adoptionEAM board, roles, maintenance process, tool and training, so EAM becomes part of everyday work.

Aligned with Gartner and MIT CISR.

Our approach follows best-practice EAM and TOGAF. We regularly check it against research from Gartner and the MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR).

Start with the business goal

We begin with the decisions EAM should support and with metrics for its value.

GartnerEA initiatives without a clear business outcome fail. The value of EA shows in business results, not in architecture metrics.

MIT CISREnterprise architecture is the organising logic of the operating model: how far processes and data should be standardised and integrated.

In stages, not as a big-bang project

Each stage delivers value within 3–6 months. We start by assessing your maturity.

GartnerEmbed EA in strategic initiatives and align it with the priorities of the CIO and the executive team.

MIT CISRArchitecture matures in stages: from business silos through standardised technology and an optimised core to business modularity. No stage can be skipped.

The stable core first

Target picture and roadmap strengthen core processes, master data and integration first, then new things are built on top.

GartnerCost optimisation and sustainable value are among the priorities for enterprise architecture.

MIT CISRAn operational backbone of standardised, integrated systems, processes and data is the foundation for digital offerings.

Governance that does not slow you down

An EAM board, clear roles and a lean maintenance process instead of approval loops.

GartnerMake the value of governance measurable: cost, speed, risk.

MIT CISRAn accountability framework combines team autonomy with shared alignment.

AI in architecture work

AI tools support inventory, analysis and documentation. Decisions stay with people.

GartnerAccording to Gartner, AI agents will help deliver half of enterprise architecture outcomes by 2028.
