Enterprise Architecture for financial institutions
Transforming your banking and insurance business, using industry standards, knowledge and commitment
What makes good Enterprise Architects
As Envizion we think that it is very important to follow standards for your Enterprise and Business Architecture. As such Envizion follows:
- ISO 20022
- BIAN
- DMBOK
Envizion has a focus on financial services: banks and insurance companies. We believe that it is not only key to be a good enterprise or business architect with knowledge of the relevant standards, but you also need to be a subject matter expert.
Envizion architects have a past in banking or insurance.
Envizion shows its commitment by “walking the way it talks”. We are not just architects, but we are certified in the standards we apply and we play an active role in BIAN and much more.
Some of our commitments:
- Chair and co-chair if the BIAN Information Architecture Workgroup
- Member of the Architecture Framework & Foundation Workgroup
- Member of ISO/TC68/SC8/WG2
