Under the circumstances where technological upgrades drive business model transformation and financial regulatory authorities have successively issued policies to guide digital transformation, the financial industry needs to undergo digital transformation, but still faces challenges in all aspects.
-
Strategic planning and implementation are separated
There is a lack of methods for elaborating strategies and a lack of mechanisms for departmental collaboration.
-
Dual-track approach for business and technology
The business and technology tracks are separate, lacking a unified language, and the realization of requirements lags behind.
-
Difficult to achieve returns
Digital transformation is challenging and requires empowering employees, making it hard to achieve comprehensive and long-term returns.
-
The drawbacks of traditional modeling methods are numerous
Traditional modeling implementation methods are anchored in the entire industry's business domains and all business processes, undergo in-depth renovations, have long implementation cycles, slow results, and require a large number of personnel.
The enterprise architecture transformation solution driven by business modeling has constructed a consulting service system of "1 + X + N", namely "1 core solution + X customized implementation methods + N supporting services". Starting from 1 core solution, according to customer demands, X customized implementation methods can be realized, and N supporting services such as architecture control, modeling tools, process design, and PMO management are provided.
"1" Core Solution:
Strategic Capability Implementation: By optimizing the existing processes required for the execution of strategic capabilities or adding new processes, strategic capabilities are transformed into process capabilities; through top-down strategic analysis and bottom-up analysis of current pain points, both directions drive the realization and implementation of capability demands.
Business architecture design: Strategic capabilities enable the realization of future goals. The business model reflects the current situation and also needs to construct the target bank. Therefore, strategic capabilities and business models need to be combined.
Business Model Construction: Through abstraction of actual scenarios, the real business scenarios and business elements are expressed in the form of models. The product model, process model and data model included in the business model are classified layer by layer from top to bottom into five levels.
IT Architecture Design: A stable application architecture ensures the sustainable construction of application systems and the continuous development of business capabilities; determining data distribution based on the business object model enables clear data distribution among application systems, which can enhance development efficiency; a stable business domain model with clear goals and boundaries ensures the scientific and reasonable design of business components; business components are intrinsically associated with business objects; based on the layout of business components and in combination with the existing system conditions of the client, the target application architecture is designed, and through business components, the corresponding target business capabilities of each business system can be accurately associated.
"X" Implementation Method Customization Matrix:
Modeling Domain Scope: One approach is to initially conduct in-depth modeling for a specific business domain, and then plan and implement business modeling and related renovations for adjacent business domains. Another approach is to first carry out overall planning for the entire business domain, and then refine the design of business models in batches and stages for each business domain.
Modeling level: You can choose either lightweight business modeling or full-scale business modeling.
"N" Supporting Services:
Architecture Control:
-Business Architecture Assets: Clearly define the business architecture and business model as the control objects, and specify the contents and steps that need to be implemented
-Control Organization: Clearly define the framework of the business architecture control organization, and specify the contents and steps that need to be implemented
-Control Process: Clearly define the framework of the business architecture control process, and specify the contents and steps that need to be implemented
-Control Tools: Separate the control mechanism from the control system, implement the mechanism first and then the system.
Modeling Tools: Enterprise architecture transformation is a complex project, and the introduction of tools is a powerful guarantee for efficiency and quality. The ORIGIEN business modeling platform adopts the business modeling methodology with distinctive features of GienTech, aiming to create a platform for product and service innovation design in the financial industry, supporting flexible configuration and agile innovation of business, guiding and supporting the digital transformation practice of financial enterprises based on enterprise-level architecture. It is the first link of the integrated tool chain of requirements - design - development.
Process Design: The business-technology integrated process based on business modeling, including the standard assets of process flows and methods in various engineering fields closely related to business modeling. Based on these standard process assets, we utilize the unique process customization methodology and process asset platform to customize software engineering processes based on business modeling with customer-specific characteristics.
PMO Management Empowerment: Provide PMO management empowerment for enterprise-level transformation projects, key modules and project management common modules, including enterprise-level transformation project management interface items, enterprise-level transformation project management key modules and project management common modules.
The overall implementation strategy is centered on "enterprise-level", integrating the concepts of "agile" and "lean" throughout the process. On one hand, it takes "meeting the enterprise's timely and urgent needs" as the key criterion, generating the minimum viable architecture that meets the project requirements, thereby reducing unnecessary resource waste. On the other hand, it emphasizes differentiated design and tailoring of methods and assets based on the specific circumstances of the enterprise. Starting from the project requirements, it micro-customizes the required output and iteratively realizes "lean architecture design". At the same time, it introduces the distinctive business modeling platform of GienTech as well as the integrated tool chain for design and development that is connected with it.
