Technical Services Transform Enterprise Architecture Products Into Business Tools

Real IRM's technical services team hides the complexity of enterprise architecture tools and provides simple, easy access to enterprise architecture deliverables by presenting them in ways that are appropriate to the target audience and specific to the business needs. This enables an organisation to customise products from the enterprise architecture for business users by presenting them in the context and style that is familiar to them.

Delivering user-friendly enterprise architecture products that are specific to the client.

Enterprise architecture tools are excellent at capturing information, but that information has to be reported in a format that is accessible to the business. This information is usually captured in the enterprise architecture repository but is not always presented in a way that is suited to the target audience.

Real IRM's technical services team aims to hide the complexity of enterprise architecture tools and provide simple, easy access to enterprise architecture deliverables by presenting them in ways that are appropriate to the target audience. This means, for example, that the functional specifications and training material are generated directly from the models in the enterprise architecture repository in the form of Microsoft Word documents or a website.

The technical services team supports Real IRM's consulting team with a wide range of skills that focus on the construction, delivery and exchange of business and application components of an enterprise architecture. This enables the consulting team to maintain its own focus on establishing a sustainable, business-appropriate enterprise architecture capability.
