CASE STUDY
cloud strategy for the remainder of the year
remains in place.
“Our various applications need to seamlessly
migrate to the cloud,” said Bachoo.
“Already, many of them have been
architected for it, but we will continue to
expand our development to incorporate all
essential services for the cloud.
“Even though our migration path has
not changed, the Knotion Enterprise
Architecture as a service approach has
enabled us to be more effective and
embrace a multi-tenancy way of
doing things.

“One of the biggest benefits of using
Knotion in this way has been to enable
us to explain complex IT infrastructure
in business terms. With ‘as a service’, we
take away much of the fuzziness generally
associated with technology jargon and
translate it into deliverables that our
business users can understand.”
EA for all
Knotion is quite excited about this
approach as the offering is not limited to
large enterprises.
“Considering that many SMEs do not
have the resources to deliver internal EA
capabilities, our solution plugs in to their
environment and can be fine-tuned as
required,” said Snel.
“Even corporates that have seen enterprise
architects leave the company or divisions
being disbanded, can leverage the
offering to streamline and fast track its
implementation and management inside
the business.
“With this, enterprise and solution
architectures can be done in a more effective
way and we believe it will significantly
change how architecture is viewed. It will
unlock significantly more value for businesses
on the road ahead.” n
