OBASHI was born from a common problem
• Communicationgap identified
• No single document linked their data, information, business process and IT assets
• The Business and the IT department were unable to collaborate effectively
• See the big picture
• Increase understanding of the relationships between
its data/information, assets and resources in a
business context
• Understand the cost and value of the assets and
people that supported its information and data flows
Reality Wish
...which is even more prevalent today
• Dataflow & information flow is the life blood of every modern business
• Most business activity is underpinned by and can be related to single or multiple data flows
• Over 90% of cash is electronic
• It makes sense to understand, model, document, engineer, analyse and re-engineer data flows... and follow a traditional engineering approach to mapping information
Common languages make senseArchitectu
