Enterprise Architecture
Akira understands that a successful architecture must be driven by specific business needs, not by the whims of the latest technology. That’s why we begin with the development of a true business-driven enterprise architecture, which provides a holistic view of the enterprise. A truly holistic enterprise view provides two key benefits.

1. Information technology (IT) investments are prioritized and focused on clearly identified business needs rather than holding the business hostage to the latest “cool” or “trendy” technology.

2. A cohesive, integrated enterprise roadmap, expressed in terms that are appropriate at all levels within the organization, such as for corporate management, technical management, IT professionals, and customer account managers, drives the organization and is used as a clear, concise, common way to express corporate intent for the evolution of the enterprise.

The key to a successful enterprise architecture is the development of a roadmap, driven by corporate business objectives, that continually assesses the “as-is” state of the enterprise and provides the blueprint for incremental evolution to an ever more capable “to-be” state. The evolutionary aspect is an important improvement over earlier approaches because it preserves and leverages existing IT investments, continues to support mission critical functions during the evolution, and provides management with unprecedented flexibility to balance cost, business needs, and schedule. At Akira, we select methodologies and analysis tools appropriate for our customers’ unique needs. Akira’s principal consultants have the experience of using various EA frameworks such as DOD Architecture Framework, Bachman Framework.
