Unique Virtualization Information Technologies

UVizIT is highly experienced with model frameworks commonly used to organize enterprise architectures into different views that are meaningful to system stakeholders.

Our EA approach provides a consistent design that supports the business entity as it responds to market dynamics, including the various structures and processes of the entity. We methodically depict the organization both as it is today and as it is envisioned in the future, and map the various views representing the architecture in terms of business-oriented perspectives as well as technical perspectives.

As EA emerges as a common practice, we integrate in our workshop the the CIO Council's federal enterprise architecture framework (FEAF) and the major IT industry EA models (e.g., Zackman Framework, Enterprise Information Systems Architecture (EISA), Altos Origin’s, DoDAF, etc.).

Using a tools-based approach with industry best practices and techniques enables us to make the interaction with users a unique experience that provides radical advantages:

Cost savings: With EA, we streamline project oversight processes to capture metrics, evaluate investments, reduce turnover cost, implement standards to ensure system-wide compatibility of technologies, and modernize technology infrastructure.

Regulatory compliance: For instance, the Clinger-Cohen Act requires federal agencies to implement and use EA to manage IT investments and federal information systems. Implementing an EA model is the best way for each federal agency to comply with regulations.

Technology Inter-operability: With EA, we consistently implement standards across an organization to ensure technology components remain compatible over time.

Effective communication: UVizIT understands that in many ways, EA models are a communication bridge between business stakeholders and IT professionals. Our EA representations can be interpreted for various users in a consistent manner.

Consistent blueprints: UVizIT understands that a well-designed architecture separates success from failure for large and complex information systems. We use object-oriented engineering software to provide high quality models, system blueprints, and prototypes.

Closing gaps: UVizIT efficiently identifies improvement opportunities that are present between the current and the desired future organizational structure. From our findings, we provide guidance and support for each IT organization to implement customized changes.
