Enterprise Architecture
Most approaches to enterprise architecture suffer as a result of an overwhelming emphasis on new software acquisition and layered I.T. services, causing significant disconnection between I.T. and Business managers. Moreover a number of the leading enterprise architecture frameworks have instigated a more I.T. centric approach to developing business architectures.
Salmon’s approach to enterprise architecture is different. We focus on helping our customers align and harmonise Business and I.T., ensuring business leaders can concentrate on being able to perform efficiently - without the need to worry whether I.T. systems and applications can do what they need, when they need them to.
Today’s best-of-breed service providers must be capable of understanding clients’ individual business models and existing business processes. Salmon did this, and additionally possessed the necessary IT skills, techniques and methodologies to ensure that Swiss Re developed new systems and applications that delivered value back to the business.
