What We Do
We design and assure technology to ensure it delivers value, reduces risk and supports the University’s strategy.
What is Enterprise Architecture?
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is basically a framework that documents current IT assets and business processes with the intention to transition them to a desired “future state” that supports the business's overarching goals. It identifies IT systems, data, applications, and processes and how the parts fit together.

Our work supports the following outcomes
We design technology solutions that fit the University's needs and integrate with existing systems, while identifying and preventing duplication, integration problems and unnecessary costs before they occur.
We document and catalogue our technology estate using structured descriptions and models, enabling informed decision-making about technology investments and dependencies.
Through dependency mapping, we help the University understand the blast radius of incidents across the ecosystem, enabling faster response and better disaster recovery and business continuity planning. When incidents occur, we can identify:
- What other systems are affected
- Which users and services are impacted
- Who needs to be notified
- What the recovery dependencies are
We assess technology value and cost to ensure investments deliver maximum benefit and align with the University's priorities.
Using security and privacy by design principles, we ensure security is embedded by design in all new technology, balancing risk and compliance issues.
Our designs ensure new technology works effectively with existing systems, reducing implementation risks and time-to-value.
