By the time the EA capability is up and running, a company would have spent a significant amount of resources already, without showing any clear business value," says Snel. This is followed by customising the framework for the organisation based on the architects' skills and experience. "Many companies choose a framework such as TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework), as the foundation to develop their EA capability. Knotion developed a proof of concept EA blueprint for the business, and with PPS happy with the result, embarked on the approach to use Knotion as its EAaaS provider. Following extensive research, we decided to outsource to a specialist company as opposed to building the capacity in-house," says Avsharn Bachoo, CTO of PPS. "We successfully launched an EA function within the group and examined ways to effectively grow it. The focus is on developing the architecture, rather than the capability, to provide practical benefits for the business early on," says Marius Snel, CEO and owner of Knotion Consulting.įor PPS, the Knotion approach aligned with its strategic requirements given the changes that were taking place inside the company. "Fundamentally, EAaaS is about quickly delivering value in the production and use of enterprise and solution architectures. South African enterprise architecture specialist Knotion Consulting has provided PPS, the largest financial services mutual in the country, with an enterprise architecture as a service (EAaaS) offering considered to be the first of its kind in the world.
