Financial Services is different. With intangible products that are highly regulated, last for decades but need servicing at a moment’s notice, it poses a unique challenge for those charged with running the business.
It’s a challenge that Altus can help you meet with our FS Enterprise Architecture method. Developed exclusively for the Financial Services industry, it takes the frustration out of wading through general-purpose methods by taking the best aspects of industry standards and combining them in a simple framework that really helps to turn Financial Services strategy into operational reality.
The key to the Altus EA method is a recognition that, whilst every Financial Services project is ultimately different, they can be classified into some common types. Those types can be used to determine which aspects of architecture will be most useful to delivery – enabling the project to quickly chart a path through the EA framework and to reuse existing content.
The Altus EA framework can be quickly and easily customised to reflect an individual client’s preferred styles of diagram and types of project. The result is a method which can be built up incrementally by real projects and can actually help them to deliver faster.
"Another solid piece of architectural thinking from Altus, the work provided us with a thorough approach to process analysis and modelling."
