  • Taxonomy of Application Systems and Information Management Systems to allow Application Portfolio Rationalization

  • Mapping of business goals to Information systems and then to technology allows objective identification of business value of specific technology initiative


Comprised of reference Business model, Information Systems Model and Technology Model, it allows Architecture professionals to take common parts of their organization from the Industry, allowing focus only on the small difference that their organization does different or extra.
