Client Overview:

  • Annual Income: £1B
  • Customers: ~6M
  • Employees: ~4,000
  • Operations: UK

The Challenge

The client was operating with an outdated enterprise architecture (EA) tool — LeanIX — which no longer met business or architectural needs. A strategic shift to OrbusInfinity was required to modernize the tooling environment and better support architecture governance.

Objectives

  • Configure OrbusInfinity for enterprise-wide usage
  • Facilitate user training and onboarding
  • Integrate the tool with key line-of-business systems
  • Enable adoption across the architecture community
  • Led discovery workshops with IT and business stakeholders
  • Captured as-is data across the IT portfolio
  • Built a centralized architecture repository within OrbusInfinity
  • Defined a tailored metamodel for the organization’s needs
  • Created and mapped architectural objects, relationships, and views

Our Approach

The Outcome

  • Successful decommissioning of LeanIX
  • Full configuration and rollout of OrbusInfinity
  • Documentation of best practices and operating guidelines
  • Knowledge transfer and tool handover to in-house architects
