THE CHALLENGE

When Business and IT Lose Sight of Each Other

As organizations transform, processes, applications, capabilities, and technology become increasingly interconnected. But the knowledge about those connections is often fragmented across teams and tools.

Without a shared view of the enterprise, dependencies remain hidden, complexity grows, and change becomes harder to navigate.

Transformation decisions are only as good as the context behind them.

THE SOLUTION

Connect Business and IT in One Enterprise View

Mavim connects business capabilities, processes, applications, information, and technology in one shared enterprise model.

By making relationships and dependencies visible, teams can understand how the organization fits together, assess the impact of change, and make better-informed transformation decisions.

See the enterprise as a whole. Change it with confidence.

BUSINESS + IT

Connect Architecture With How the Business Actually Works

Enterprise architecture shows how the organization is structured. Business process management shows how work flows through it. Mavim brings both perspectives together in one connected model.

See not only which applications and technologies exist, but which processes they support, who depends on them, and how changes to the architecture affect day-to-day operations.

Connect the architecture of the enterprise to the reality of how work gets done.

From Spreadsheet Chaos to a Living Enterprise Architecture

Domino’s UK & Ireland

As Domino’s prepared for its Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations rollout, its spreadsheet-based approach to enterprise architecture and IT portfolio management could no longer provide the visibility and scalability needed for transformation.

With Mavim, Domino’s created a connected, collaborative view of its IT landscape, providing a stronger foundation for portfolio decisions and helping the organization prepare for transformation with greater clarity and confidence.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Enterprise Architecture

Learn what enterprise architecture is, how it supports business transformation and IT portfolio management, and how Mavim connects business and technology to help organizations make better-informed change decisions.

What is enterprise architecture?

Enterprise architecture (EA) provides a structured view of how an organization's business capabilities, processes, information, applications, and technology fit together. It helps organizations understand their current landscape, design future-state architecture, identify dependencies, and make informed decisions about business and technology change.

What is the role of enterprise architecture in business transformation?

Enterprise architecture connects transformation goals to the business and technology landscape required to deliver them. By showing relationships between capabilities, processes, applications, information, and technology, EA helps organizations understand what needs to change, assess dependencies, and design a coordinated path from the current state to the target state.

What is the difference between enterprise architecture and business process management?

Enterprise architecture focuses on how business capabilities, applications, information, and technology are structured and connected across the enterprise. Business process management focuses on how work is designed, executed, governed, and improved. Connecting EA and BPM provides both the structural and operational context needed to manage transformation.

What is IT portfolio management?

IT portfolio management (ITPM) is the practice of evaluating and managing an organization's applications and technology investments. By connecting applications to the capabilities and processes they support, organizations can assess business value, identify redundancy, prioritize investments, and make better-informed decisions about consolidation, replacement, and modernization.

How does enterprise architecture support application rationalization?

Enterprise architecture makes relationships between applications, business capabilities, processes, and technology visible. This helps organizations identify overlapping or redundant applications while understanding what the business depends on before systems are consolidated, replaced, or retired. Application rationalization can therefore consider business impact alongside cost and technical factors.

How does enterprise architecture support impact analysis?

Enterprise architecture maps relationships and dependencies across the organization. When a capability, process, application, or technology changes, teams can trace those connections to understand what else may be affected. This provides greater visibility into potential downstream impact before transformation decisions are implemented.

How does enterprise architecture support Dynamics 365 transformation?

Enterprise architecture helps organizations understand their current business and application landscape before moving to Dynamics 365 and design the target architecture needed to support future operations. Connecting architecture with processes and dependencies also helps teams assess transformation impact and align business requirements with technology decisions throughout implementation.

How does Mavim support enterprise architecture?

Mavim connects business capabilities, processes, applications, information, technology, roles, and governance in a shared enterprise model. Enterprise architects can visualize relationships, analyze dependencies, assess change impact, and connect current- and future-state architecture with broader transformation initiatives, business process management, and the Microsoft ecosystem.
