Product Description

Business Architecture for Digital Transformation is a compilation of essential templates, artifacts, models, and customizable deliverables for creating a business architecture for enterprise digital transformation.

Digital transformation is a strategic imperative for most companies. Unfortunately, despite spending billions of dollars in the financial services sector, many digital transformation efforts are achieving subpar results or failing altogether. Of course, it takes sensible strategy, prudent planning, and flawless execution to transform digitally.

One lever to plan prudently is a set of business architecture deliverables, concepts, models, and templates. Business architecture offers a robust foundation based on sound structural constructs and a pragmatic set of deliverables. Business architecture is the fundamental layer to help a structured and streamlined digital transformation. Business Capabilities can be the glue that binds things together.

How did you build this Business Architecture Resource?

We are software entrepreneurs and consultants with countless business architecture and transformation engagements at several Global 2000 companies. We harnessed the accumulated knowledge over multiple engagements and several years to craft these deliverables.

A Perspective on the Cost:

We get two varying perspectives on the cost of our products. Why is it so cheap? Or why is it so expensive? In our (biased) opinion, the cost is meager compared to the value Business Architecture for Digital Transformation can offer enterprises.

Scenario 1: A cross-functional team of business architects, enterprise architects, and digital domain experts spend countless hours in conference rooms over 5-6 months to craft these deliverables. Instead, you can get started immediately, reduce your efforts by 60-75%, and tailor the deliverables to your unique needs.

Scenario 2: A company hires a consulting firm to develop these artifacts. They spend 12-14 weeks involving the cross-functional teams and eliciting the knowledge to create deliverables. A typical consulting endeavor may cost $100,000 – $250,000 (or more), depending on the firm and geography.

Instead, our Business Architecture for Digital Transformation Package cost is commensurate with a few pizza lunches and a celebratory dinner at the end.

No standard off-the-shelf digital products can fully meet your company’s needs. Therefore, we strive to create a baseline with about 60-75% relevance, a jump-off point for tailoring the products to your needs.
