Architecture-driven technology decisions help an organization to make informed information technology (IT) investment decisions, in order to reduce the layers of complexity it must manage. The definition of the architecture strategy allows the key decision-makers to direct the development of the information asset to ensure it will provide the information, views, and perspectives that they need to make better decisions. Effective Enterprise Architecture enables the organization to guide the development, selection, and proposal process; make informed IT investment decisions; and control the evolution of the technology environment.

Key benefits of architecture-and-implementation services include:

• Enabling sound technology investments that are in alignment with the needs of the client’s business
• Compliance with the requirements of corporate IT standards
• Guiding the development and proposal processes to reduce confusion and complexity
• Giving direction to the evolution of the technology environment
