In control with architecture

Grip on IT

For most companies, IT has become an indispensible production factor. Unfortunately, it often feels like a straightjacket in a world which is changing ever more rapidly. How can we overcome the limitations of these cumbersome legacy systems, improve the agility of organizations and keep costs in check?

How to stay in control

Many organizations are faced with an IT landscape which strongly limits their room for manoeuvre; large, monolithic systems that are virtually impossible to modify; products, business processes and organizational structures which are so closely intertwined that delivering new products, using services from outside of more efficiently organizing processes are feats in themselves. And then there are the maintenance costs, which can take up more than 80% of the IT budget.

Architecture provides grip and insight

Architecture is the perfect tool for understanding and managing IT developments, short term and long term. A good architecture practice provides your organization with both control and agility.

Novay has been the independent expert on enterprise architecture for years. As such, we have co-founded the international standard ArchiMate, which has proven invaluable to many organizations in their day-to-day business.

Novay supports:

• Architecture development: designing architectures with modern methods and techniques such as ArchiMate; help to apply those methods in your own architectural practice;
• In charge with architecture: translating business strategy into specific design choices, managing IT as a coherent portfolio;
• Interoperability: realizing agreements between organizations, linking business processes or systems, and designing standards.
