Reducing enterprise complexity to maximise
business value
On-demand advisory to accelerate your transformation
Organisations are today faced with a large amount of technology services and tools. The overall understanding of these has never been more important, otherwise the costs associated with management will skyrocket as risk, dependencies, shadow IT and zombie applications creep into the organisation.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) was seen as a luxury only affordable by large enterprises with complex IT landscapes and had outputs difficult to comprehend for those without EA experience. For the smaller organisations it was deemed that the time taken to provide these valuable insights lost value quickly as they often became outdated as soon as they were completed.
NEC has a capability to provide Architecture as a Service (AaaS) to organisations wanting to leverage the benefits of EA insights, such as complexity reduction, but do not want to invest in a full EA function. Our on-demand AaaS also utilises our unique DTS Hub toolset to generate high-quality architecture visualisations that are easily understood by all levels of an organisation. Our approach also allows us to provide immediate value through insights and detailed mapping within the initial few weeks of commencement.
