EA Consulting

Enabling Businesses to Exceed Expectations

EA Principals’ Enterprise Architecture consulting services will help enable organizations to redesign and realign their existing architectures to accomplish their business strategies by identifying critical business drivers and translating them into blueprints.

Even the most capable architecture practices can use our consulting services to execute high-value strategic projects, especially when time is of the essence. We help in establishing a well-defined and planned Enterprise Architecture, which brings greater efficiencies within the business, enabling organizations to monitor the entire business and IT landscape in real-time without reinventing the wheel. Organizations become enabled to identify any existing gaps, and prepare the strategic, tactical and operational roadmaps, in order to achieve target architectures. Scalability and flexibility are key components to adapt to changing market and business scenarios and to support new business processes. EA Principals will help you do just that.

EA Audit Services

EA Principals provides independent audit services, to test your firm's EA maturity, capabilities, and approach. With so much at stake for an Enterprise Architecture initiative to succeed, it is crucial to make sure the EA group is going in the right direction. Many firms do not have employees who are independent of these areas, or find it costly to devote the time and resources necessary to accomplish this internally. For these reasons, many firms use independent third parties such as EA Principals to provide this service, which helps them give a fresh perspective and reassurance that Industry best practices are being followed and implemented. EA Principals’ pool of Principals makes us qualified to perform this service with experience and education necessary to perform this service. Our EA audit process is a way to strengthen or improve your firm's EA program, and it is our goal to help our clients however we can in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
