Savvee Consulting leverages enterprise architecture (EA) expertise from its extensive knowledge-base.  Our consultants are well experienced in the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF).  Savvee has demonstrated the ability to institutionalize an EA program where one did not previously exist.  Our consultants regularly self-assess the program, utilizing industry best practices such as Gartner and OMB, to mature the EA program from inception to full maturation where EA becomes a norm that drives all IT investments.

Through our proven approach to EA, our clients are able to align new projects to the blueprint of their organization.  Our consultants ensure that only new requirements which meet out client's mission goals and do not already exist become funded.  EA plays a critical role in the big picture of IT investments.  An effective EA must be integrated with the organization's IT Portfolio Management program.  EA should become a decision-point and a driver within IT investment control.  The failure to incorporate EA with the IT investment control process will lead to unsound investments.

Savvee consultants allow our clients to answer questions such as:

•  How do our systems communicate with each other and what information is being passed between them?

•   What operational capabilities do specific systems provide and are they redundant with other systems?

•   When there is a new requirement, is there an existing solution within the organization that can be
      leveraged?

•   Where can I find a view of my enterprise in one document?

•   Where can I go to ensure that the organization's solutions are following mandated IT standards?

With our team's comprehensive practice using the DoDAF, Savvee has documented a methodology for developing compliant artifacts.  Through lessons-learned, industry best practices, and hands on experience, Savvee has documented proprietary processes to effectively implement EA within an organization.  Our approach ensures that only artifacts that need to be produced are developed and that they are produced in an efficient sequence.

Since 2005, the DoD has begun mandating EA across its domain.  Agencies are now required to report their EA to DoD investment review boards for evaluation.  They are looking to consolidate redundant systems and migrate them to their networks.  Our consultants support justifying our client's investments to ensure their funding stream is not interrupted.

In addition to compliance, EA is proven to save an organization money over time.  An effective EA allows our clients to link their organization's funding to operational capabilities, IT projects, and systems.  Our consultants identify commonalities and leverage them.  Cost savings are recognized by avoiding duplications of effort and prevent stove-piped development.  Savvee's approach enables faster decision-making and leads to sound business investments.
