One of the greatest challenges to digital transformation is inconsistent and disconnected information.

Without a clear understanding of systems, data, and processes—and how they interconnect—organisations struggle to formulate effective transformation strategies or assess the full impact of enterprise-wide change. This lack of visibility often leads to misalignment between Agile teams, bottlenecks in decision-making and increased risk in implementing change at scale.

Solution

To address this, 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗔 (𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗔) provides a shared, centralised architecture repository for organising and managing all EA assets needed for digital transformation. The repository serves as a 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, enabling decision-makers and Agile digital teams to:

• Store, access, and manage models, documentation, diagrams and other vital EA assets in a structured and easily retrievable way.

• Create a shared holistic view of the enterprise, supporting Agile ways of working and continuous digital transformation.

• Generate up-to-date views of the enterprise for different stakeholder needs, in various formats (web pages, documents, even software code), ensuring real-time alignment between business and technology teams.

• View metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for tracking delivery progress, optimising backlogs and measuring business value.

• Integrate with other tools (e.g. requirements management and project management) to enhance coordination and support Agile delivery at scale.

Why it matters

A holistic view of the enterprise, especially when combined with advanced analytics, supports:

• 🚀 Innovation and growth by enabling a deeper understanding of the business and technology landscape—this, for example, could involve the use of MBEA to identify opportunities for automation and process optimisation, to deliver faster turnaround times and improved efficiency.
• 👏 Enhanced customer experience and engagement by enabling a joined-up view of the end-to-end customer journey, supporting data-driven improvements—this might include using MBEA to map the customer journey and streamline customer interactions to reduce service delays and enhance overall satisfaction.
• 🔍 Increased operational effectiveness and reduced risk by ensuring teams have access to critical information where and when they need it, reducing decision-making risks.

Being able to access a shared holistic view of the enterprise is foundational to creating a 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱-𝘂𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 capable of delivering coherent transformational change.
