Object Consulting has long been a thought leader in Enterprise Architecture. We capture our world-class approach in Process Mentor to deliver an end-to-end solution for Enterprise Architecture to our clients.

Enterprise Architecture plays a critical role in a modern enterprise, acting as the enabler for business and IT to work together more closely and more efficiently and together deliver to an organisation’s strategy. Enterprise Architecture is not just about describing and documenting the current and desired business and information technology environment, and its relationship to business strategy and processes, but is also about the process of moving from the current state to the desired state through a set of achievable and change-managed steps. In short, an Enterprise Architecture is a process not a thing.

It is common practice to define the enterprise vision and strategy in ad-hoc ways using a number of presentations and whitepapers. This creates a significant ‘solution gap’ between these statements of vision and strategy and the actual projects and systems that are developed. Enterprise Architecture needs to cross this solution gap with linkages from strategy to implementation to operation.

Object's focus is on bridging the solution gap, realising value early and delivering a buildable and executable solution. Our Enterprise Architecture services leverage Process Mentor, Object’s software engineering process. Process Mentor contains the proven model and deliverables needed to represent an Enterprise Architecture, as well as the processes needed to create and maintain one.

Many organisations will find it hard to fully embrace Enterprise Architecture in one single step. Object is highly experienced in planning, delivering and managing Enterprise Architectures and can work with you to define a number of different ‘entry points’ that will allow initial Enterprise Architecture work to deliver clear and obvious results to more immediate problems. These entry points might be related to specific strategy, risk management, governance, value management or application portfolio concerns.
