Business Architecture

Defining a technology roadmap and strategy are dependent on the business architecture requirements. RPS uses the business architecture and defines the technical strategy based on the way a business operates.

The business architecture informs the use of technologies; for example, if the business architecture is an off-site only model, then the technology architecture to support this could be a cloud-based infrastructure that makes use of SaaS services like Office 365 and SAP online

To develop the Business Architecture to Technology Architecture mapping, RPS uses industry standard business to technology architectural models, including The Open Group Architecture Framework.
