Enterprise Architecture (EA) as a Service.

At Vasa Digital Architects, we understand the challenges of Enterprise Architecture (EA), especially when teams and tools are limited. Our Enterprise Architecture as a Service (EAaaS) combines LeanIX with our AI tech stack, reducing data gathering from months to weeks. This enables us to deliver on your EA objectives—rationalization, modernization, risk management, and investment planning -- faster. We also develop clear visualizations to help you communicate opportunities more effectively.

Have you been down this road?

Organizations want to work smarter, manage risks, grow, and innovate. Achieving this requires changing and sometimes even rethinking how they use technology and operate their businesses.
However, organizations often face unique and tough challenges due to their history, culture, and the way things are currently set up. These challenges need specific solutions – different ways of solving problems that dive deep into the causes to create precise fixes.

Vasa Digital Architects offers a distinctive approach, one that uses Enterprise Architecture to tackle these tough problems thoroughly. We pay attention to the details that generic approaches miss and look at the big picture when we create solutions.

We work closely with our clients, taking the time to understand their goals and unique challenges before getting technology involved.

We focus on the most pressing and solvable issues.

We help our clients solve the right problems, and the whole problem, not just parts of it.
The Architecture Foundation service aims to bring structured architectural planning to technology environments that have naturally evolved over time. Our approach includes establishing a foundation by, equipping teams with the necessary architecture tools and training, and compiling a comprehensive inventory of the existing tech ecosystem. We develop a Business Capability Model to illustrate how the business works and what tech they currently depend on. Additionally, we craft a forward-thinking Blueprint that outlines how a well-designed technology architecture can boost business efficiency and achieve objectives.

Introducing
Enterprise Architecture as a Service (EAaaS).

Many organizations struggle to unlock the full potential of Enterprise Architecture (EA) because their teams are stretched thin and lack the necessary tools and resources. Scaling an in-house EA team can be expensive, time-consuming, and difficult. For many organizations, EAaaS is a better option. EAaaS provides access to expert architects, helps you stay agile, and offers a cost-effective solution to manage your complex IT systems.

EA as a Service (EAaaS) fills this gap by offering experts to support your team, the right tools, and ongoing support to help teams build a strong EA foundation, so that you can fully realize EA’s potential and drive lasting impact.
  • Expertise on demand: EAaaS provides access to skilled architects with deep knowledge of both IT and business strategies.
  • Cost-effective: Pay only for the EA services you need, avoiding the expenses of full-time staff, training, and tools.
  • Faster outcomes: EAaaS teams can jump in and deliver results quickly, reducing ramp-up time.

Well-Constructed Tech Helps Businesses Grow

A business does well when it sells things people like and plans carefully. Using technology can make work easier and help find more customers. However, it's not just about getting new tech; it's about using it wisely as part of a bigger plan.

Architecture: Using Tech as Part of a Bigger Plan

Architecture is about using technology smartly with an eye on the broader goals of your business.
Architecture: Using Tech as Part of a Bigger Plan

Can Technology Growth Be Planned?

Tech that grows on its own can get complicated and tough to handle and might stop your business from growing. Starting with a basic plan that you can change and make better over time helps everything work together smoothly and can make sure that your tech grows with your business, not against it.

How to create an inventory of your current state

Creating a comprehensive inventory of software applications is a crucial initial step for your organization to both manage its existing IT assets effectively, but also to plan the future. The inventory can help in various areas such as application rationalization, license management, security, compliance, and developing roadmaps.

Why and how to use Architecture Tools

Architecture tools streamline the technology planning process for businesses, guiding them from understanding their current operations to planning for future growth. These tools automate inventory management, simplify the creation of business models, and ensure all technology aligns with business goals. They help update outdated systems, enhance security, and encourage continuous improvement, making it easier to integrate data and adopt new technologies like AI. This organized approach to managing vast amounts of information—metadata—supports effective decision-making, fostering efficiency and alignment with business objectives. Without these tools, organizations rely on manual, inefficient methods that struggle to keep up with growth and changes, leading to inaccuracies and a lack of consistency. Specialized architecture tools not only reduce manual effort but also improve collaboration and provide a comprehensive view of the IT landscape. They're essential for businesses looking to navigate digital transformation and stay competitive, offering a way to manage complex IT architectures more efficiently and align technology strategies with business needs.
