Key Visibility Issues
Merger & Acquisition
Application & Technology Rationalization Where are IT and other redundancies?
What is… not compliant with our standards, critical, not reliable enough, obsolete, expensive…?
Migrating to the cloud What can be migrated to the cloud? How easily? What are the
dependencies?
Data Governance (GDPR) Which data is sensitive? Where is it used (where it shouldn’t be)?
Where are our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?

Key Transformation Issues
Why and how shall we optimize our business model?
Which goals do we want to achieve?
What is our target capabilities roadmap?
Which projects shall implement this roadmap?
What is our target solution architecture?
How shall we govern architecture and implementation?

Key questions for driving changes
Where are we today?
How shall we get there?
This way
Where do we want to be in the future?

I mean Strategy & Architecture Standards?

Complementary but disconnected
No common process
No common metamodel
Inconsistent terminology
Drive Changes to the Operating Platform
Too high-level to be actionable out of the box
Disconnected; Redundancies; Archimate: Missing semantics & levels of detail

So how could wemake the best of Standards?

By “merging” I mean
• Define one end to end process
• Identify common concepts and gaps
• Create one single language
• Implement the whole thing in one single tool
that is already used by 750 000 users worldwide

“Unified” means
We play many different roles, but…
We speak the same language
We share the same information in the same repository
We follow the same process and we use the same tool
We collaborate effectively
