Project Description
Development of BI Domain Architecture
Project Description
- Our client, a “big 4” Australian bank, had a very complex data and BI environment. They were looking to simplify the environment, however, they did not have a complete picture of their current state and, more importantly, lacked an agreed vision of the target state. This project was initiated to develop a strategic BI domain architecture to guide rationalisation efforts and future investment decisions.
What We Did
- Engaged stakeholders from all major business segments across the bank and conducted workshops to capture requirements and identify issues and opportunities
- Facilitated the development of a shared BI vision and guiding principles
- Analysed the current state environment and compiled an inventory of applications, data stores and technologies by business segment
- Based on vision and principles, developed a proposed target state that simplified the current environment and met future reporting and analytics needs of the business
- Engaged with the enterprise PMO and reviewed all in-flight and planned initiatives to identify which initiatives were aligned and those that required action to become aligned
- Developed patterns for common BI use cases do guide future architecture design
Outcomes Delivered
- A shared BI vision and guiding principles endorsed by all business segments across the bank
- Clear understanding of the current state environment, including insights into application, data and technology duplication
- An agreed target state architecture that achieved significant IT simplification and delivered new, strategic capabilities
- A view of in-flight and planned initiatives impacting the environment, enabling the ability to act on misaligned projects
- An A0-size graphical artefact representing the BI strategy and domain architecture ‘on-a-page’ for stakeholder communications
