A Broadcaster's Corporate Strategy
The Client
Britain's legendary, public broadcaster restructured during the 1990's. It opened up directorates requiring them to share resources and bid for items from external suppliers.
The Problem
To understand the existing systems and identify those which could serve the new structure and those which would need replacing.
The Challenge
Define the information aspects of an enterprise plan while mapping information to processes to systems in order to illustrate systems gaps and overlaps.
The Result
AKMA produced a high level, corporate data model and provided detailed descriptions along with catalogued business processes and systems. These were described in a large matrix, a technique that identified which systems supported which processes and the data required for each process. It highlighted clustering and demonstrated overlaps, duplication and gaps.
This process was employed to deliver a five year programme of projects. AKMA went on to define project standards in relation to data structures, processes and project management.
