Aligning IT with your business objectives
Companies today face two broad challenges: how to enable adaptive enterprise operations and how to keep in step with evolving business demands.
Atos Origin uses results-oriented competencies and methods to create and implement a roadmap to adaptive enterprise operations. We help you align business processes, manage information lifecycles, establish archiving, rationalise applications, and restructure infrastructures to establish and maintain best business value.
Our complementary business and architecture expertise provide a roadmap that ensures a realistic transition from your current mode of operation to more flexible, more agile, future operations. Providing the adaptivity and performance you need to manage, change and address new business challenges while substantially reducing your TCO.
Providing a focal point for the evolution of adaptive organisations
AtosTM Enterprise Architecture presents an integrated view of business planning (vision, strategy, goals and objectives) and operations (organisations and business processes) and data/information flows, as well as application (systems) architecture and the enabling technological infrastructure across an enterprise. Technology supports the applications, which manage the information, which in turn enables the business.
To respond to fast-changing business conditions and capitalise on new opportunities as they emerge, an enterprise must be agile enough to transform and change its business processes and systems quickly through the most cost-effective means.
Bridging Consulting and Systems Integration, AtosTM Enterprise Architecture is a management tool to continuously manage enterprise transformation in a risk-containing manner. AtosTM Enterprise Architecture guides through (re)architecture with the aim of rationalising systems based on business considerations. It positions the enterprise’s IT community as a key contributor to business value creation.
Atos Origin’s enterprise architects fill the gap between the vision and the implementation. We understand your ambitions and together with you will design a roadmap that will harmonise your systems with your business needs. To provide you with the renewed energies and resources required for such innovation, Atos Origin focuses on reducing TCO and making best reuse of legacy systems.
Proven approach and methodology
Atos Origin has strong capabilities in Enterprise Architecture processes and methodologies, an aligned offering, and combines these with strong change management and deep industry knowledge.
Our Enterprise Architecture approach is built on four key convictions
- A solid and perennial methodological framework is required for consistency across the enterprise and over time: a 4-facet, top-down view of the enterprise (Business, Information, Applications, Infrastructure), is essential to architecture alignment and stakeholder commitment.
- The clearest possible target and the corresponding trajectory are necessary to reinforce the credibility of the Enterprise Architecture endeavor: A 3-step, orderly transformation roadmap, starting with As-Is situation analysis, continuing with To-Be situation definition, then implementing a safe, incremental migration plan, designed in project slices, themselves prioritised according to TCO reduction and ROI generation.
- Transversality of the Enterprise Architecture team is indispensable: mixed project teams, with Business Consultants and Technical Architects working together guarantees the alignment of Business and IT objectives as well as the feasibility of the implementation plan.
- The use of process-driven architecture techniques and technologies (such as CBD, SOA) is conditional to open, flexible systems and ongoing maintenance cost containment.
Atos Origin also offers a strong approach to Governance, critical to making things happen on time and on budget.
