• Enterprise Architecture Management

    ICB raises IT value in your company.

    Our company motto "Collaboration drives Innovation" is emphasised by Enterprise Architecture Management, or EAM for short, with the aim of improving cooperation between your different corporate departments or, in some cases, to establish such cooperation in the first place. It is only cooperation between the specialist and IT departments that can now enable your company to react to fast-changing market and customer requirements and start the right projects at the right time.

    Over the last few years, EAM has increasingly made its mark as a methodical approach to managing corporate architecture. ICB can offer you a multifaceted range of services: from EAM introduction to a review of already established EAM programs. Our experience in EAM projects has shown that in many cases, it is only the methodical EAM approach and, naturally, also tool-based implementation that has facilitated a rise in value for IT within a company. It is only in the EAM introduction phase that the management and specialist departments have recognised the particular significance and flexibility of IT, which has led to a significant competitive advantage through joint work on business and IT processes.

    Strategic IT Management with EAM

    The introduction of EAM should and will change your company for good. And there are various company areas that will be hoping that EAM answers their questions. We will support you when it comes to answering those all-important questions.

    EAM also focuses on objectives that may differ depending on the introduction phase and level of maturity. Many EAM projects start on the basis of a general need within the company or in individual IT departments, in order to create transparency for IT systems and the corresponding business processes. One of the major initial objectives is therefore to create a master plan that summarises the processes and IT systems.

    Factors contributing to successful use of EAM within your company

    In general, EAM is not just suitable for major corporations when it comes to managing future IT requirements and their effects on business. Well-known analysis companies such as Forrester Research have already highlighted the particular significance of EAM for medium-sized companies which want to get to grips with their complex, heterogeneous IT environment.

    However, certain factors are required for all successful EAM introductions so that EAM can become a sustainable, strategic corporate tool:

    • Governance: embedding EAM not only within IT, but also at all management levels.
    • Project management: the project manager must not only demonstrate IT skills, but must also be able to tackle the various corporate areas at all costs.
    • Introduction project: the start of EAM is particularly crucial, ensuring that all departments involved are aware of the benefits and long-term use.
    • Tool: any theoretical approach is doomed for failure if the right tool cannot fulfil company requirements fully in practice.
    • Consultancy: consultants with extensive EAM knowledge, who understand not only your IT requirements but also your business, in order to be able to take the right project steps.


    ICB can provide you with experienced consultants and project managers, helping you implement your EAM project successfully and laying the foundation for sustainable corporate architecture.
