Information Architecture
The smart management of information has always been the bottom line for IT. System integration, business intelligence, enterprise systems, and web-services all depend on a full understanding of enterprise data and the know-how to deploy that data using today's technology.
This service area includes the following specialties:
Enterprise Data Architecture Design
The enterprise data model provides a blueprint that specifies the overarching information requirements of the business. It supports the optimum use of data, identifies the information entities that span multiple business areas, and documents the standards for information use and information integration from disparate sources.
ASIX has developed enterprise models for medium to large businesses in several Northwest industries. We use experience gained from working at many companies, combined with published industry standard models to create customized models that facilitate changes in business direction and leverage data assets for competitive advantage.
