Engineering the Enterprise for Excellence®
Engineering the Enterprise for Excellence involves all the
activities that organizations ("enterprises")
perform to improve productivity, gain and maintain
competitive advantage, optimize resources, deliver
quality products and services, and meet customer
expectations and demand. These can include traditional
activities such as reorganization, concentration
on core products and competencies, niche marketing,
acquisition, merger, and new technologies. Enterprise
Engineering also includes new techniques and methods
such as business process re-engineering, continuous
process improvement, total quality management, enterprise
architecture, and enterprise integration. Enterprise
Engineering, which applies equally to well-established
and newly-forming enterprises, responds to the fundamental
business drivers: migration to "agile"
production, globalization of markets, changing labor
pools, and volatile political and business environments.
Visible's state-of-the-art framework products and proven, comprehensive
methodology facilitate implementing results-oriented,
customer-focused management in any enterprise. Visible's
methodology provides guidance and a flexible framework
that allow an enterprise to establish effective,
management practices that, at the same time, reflect
the enterprise's unique culture and requirements.
In today's enterprises, knowledge and information
are key resources on a par with capital, personnel,
equipment and plant. Information systems are tightly
interwoven within today's enterprises, requiring
close coordination between information systems professionals
and business engineers. The impact of business engineering
requires significant change in how information is
processed in an enterprise, which means that systems
supporting changed processes must also be changed.
Visible's Enterprise Engineering methodology and
tools not only make effective change management
possible - they make it easy.
Linking an enterprise's strategic plan (business architecture)
with its data (information) architecture, application
architecture and technical architecture results
in an Enterprise Architecture. When change is desired
or necessary, the enterprise's architecture provides
a means for determining the impact of the change
and a blueprint for speedy implementation of change.
A well-documented architecture is a logical organization
of information pertaining to the following corporate-level,
enterprise-wide elements
