IDS Scheer has been awarded the silver level certification for the support of Capgemini’s Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF).

Capgemini, which provides consulting, technology and outsourcing services, has implemented IDS Scheer’s ARIS Platform to complement its Enterprise Architecture framework. This means that the ARIS product portfolio will be deployed in Capgemini’s Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) projects, to better align customers’ business and IT services.

IDS Scheer is the leading global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) solutions.

Having been the first company worldwide to be preliminary certified, IDS Scheer has now been awarded the final certification on a silver level. It is the only company to receive this level of certification. The result is that Capgemini consultants can deploy the ARIS Platform within their projects.

All companies face the challenge to align their IT architecture with their business processes. Capgemini has been developing its own architecture approach that covers business, information and technology since 1993. This approach, which is called the Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF), has been built on the experience of practicing architects, on projects, for customers worldwide.

IDS Scheer has been working with Capgemini since May 2007 in order to define how IAF could be supported by the ARIS Platform. In order to evaluate the interaction of the framework and ARIS, Capgemini has implemented the ARIS Platform in several customer projects in France and the Netherlands.

The key benefit that ARIS provides is a central data repository that enables the consistent integration of all information. This ensures that the architecture elements are kept current and reused across all domain architectures: business, information, service, application and technology. This integrated tool support will drastically accelerate the deployment of the IAF in customer projects, thereby delivering business value of Enterprise Architecture initiatives, faster and more efficiently.
