Solutions: Envision Process and Envision IT

Business process and IT management

Enterprise architecture, BPM and Risks management

The primary reason for developing an enterprise architecture is to support the business by providing the fundamental technology and process structure for an IT strategy. This in turn makes IT a responsive asset for a successful modern business strategy.

Envision is certified TOGAF 8

and is a member of The Open Group

Today's CEOs know that the effective management and exploitation of information through IT is the key to business success, and the indispensable means to achieving competitive advantage. An enterprise architecture addresses this need, by providing a strategic context for the evolution of the IT system in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment.

Furthermore, a good enterprise architecture enables you to achieve the right balance between IT efficiency and business innovation. It allows individual business units to innovate safely in their pursuit of competitive advantage. At the same time, it assures the needs of the organization for an integrated IT strategy, permitting the closest possible synergy across the extended enterprise.

 

Envision Process - Business Process Modeling and Management

Modeling the architecture of the business processes makes it possible to improve the performances of the company and to define the IT's strategy in order to align it on the   company's marketing strategy.

Process modeling allows executive managers to easily understand how a small, medium  or large size enterprise operate today and within a hierarchy of details. It helps to conceive and validate scenarios for its future organization. This technique implements methods recognized by the international authorities for quality: norm ISO 9001-2000, and proved reliable in the whole world. It is based on TOGAF framework, VOLLE, UML and WOJTYNA/BRANDENBURG methodologies.

Envision IT - IT Architecture - Urbanization and cartography of the IT system

As for the processes we require for a method to create a useful model of the I.T. This method must take again information from the processes architecture in order to exploit its results and align the IT architecture with the business requirements. It is the urbanization. This word, borrowed from the town-planning and the plans of occupation of the grounds makes it possible to structure the whole I.T. with building blocks including: zones, districts and small islands. These blocks are built by taking again the constituent elements of the process activities (classes of concept ). The principal advantage of this technique, in addition to the fact that it proposes a model, authorizes an incremental reorganization, zone by zone and district by district and, as in the cities, it allows the cohabitation of new with the old one. Thus creates a gentle passage between the current situation and the future organization.
It is possible nevertheless to use the tool, for simply charting all the components (cartography) of an IT and their interactions.

Envision Business Suite integrates the above two techniques into a centralized Enterprise Architecture Repository providing the necessary tools, links and traceability to efficiently align the IT Architecture with the Business Process requirements. This in turn, build the overall Enterprise Architecture.

IT Risks analysis model

Envision Risks IT includes two phases:

  • The mapping of IT applications and systems (possibility of recovery if already done)
    This is the starting point of the risks analysis. It is a graphical representation of IT applications, systems and networks.
     

  • Risk analysis on the IT applications, systems and networks

    • Search for sources of hazard on the IT applications and technical systems diagrams by crossing with the typology list of risks

    • Qualitative and quantitative definition of risk. Risk = Hazard * Frequency (probability) * * Acceptability Severity (consequences)

    • Establishment of technical barriers and procedures on events, with qualification and quantification (coverage, cost, cost of the target) to make the risks acceptable. Monitoring the impact of barriers on the criticality of risk G * P (* Gravity Probability). Analysis of new risks possibly caused by the barriers themself, to get the residual risk.

    •  Barriers performance management: cost of the barrier / Performance (coverage) / Cost of the target.

    • Negotiating levels of criticality and ranking risks. Monitoring the evolution of criticality in relation to a target.

    • Archiving incidents and corrections made in the process - activities - barriers. Continuous reclassification of risks criticality following the recorded incidents analysis (management feedback integrated).

    • Automatic generation and real-time up to date actions plan (barriers), dashboards and so on. Depending on your format: HTML / Word / Excel or  Internet / Intranet publication
