Business Architecture
Understanding and delivering value through better business capabilities.
According to Gartner, “Business Architecture provides critical guidance to help integrate business strategic planning and execution. Organizations that support business architecture have a significantly greater ability to execute their business strategy”.
Macro Solutions’ approach to business architecture is informed by the BIZBOK, Gartner and Technology Business Management (TBM) to help the business of government to align with IT, providing the capabilities agency’s customers value. Articulated in value streams, business capabilities and organization maps, business architecture aligns the business and enabling IT to serve customers’ needs.
An organization that understands its business architecture gets value through cost savings (aligning the right supporting services while eliminating the waste of misaligned processes and technology) and higher customer satisfaction (more tightly aligning capabilities to customer need).

The business of government has never been more challenged to do more with limited resources. Aligning an agency’s capabilities with their customers’ needs is good in theory but difficult in practice.

Finding ways to get better alignment while reducing costly waste and inefficiency will both improve customer service while reducing overall cost.
