Enterprise Architecture Case Study
How BridgeView helped a national construction materials supplier connect business and IT decisions through a practical architecture framework, shared governance, and better asset visibility.
BridgeView shaped the operating model around the client's real decision points: how new software is evaluated, approved, tracked, and understood across locations.
A structured, lightweight framework for software evaluation and selection.
A shared pipeline for new initiatives and cross-functional review.
Tools to manage performance measures and software utilization.
Centralized tools for understanding IT assets and application connections.
As the company grew, field-level technology decisions outpaced a shared process for evaluating software. Business and IT teams needed a way to make choices together.
BridgeView established governance and tools that gave business and IT stakeholders a common way to evaluate requests, understand the existing environment, and choose what to add.
Created a lightweight TOGAF-based framework for evaluating and selecting software.
Established an Enterprise Architecture Board to create a pipeline for new initiatives.
Brought business and IT stakeholders into collaborative software decisions.
Built tools to manage KPIs and track software utilization.
Centralized asset management to improve visibility into tools and integration points.
Educated the client team on enterprise architecture principles and practices.
The new model put architecture into the software decision process, with a forum and information to help teams see the wider impact of each request.
The engagement gave the client a structure for evaluating software and a clearer view of its IT environment, while bringing business and IT into the same decision process.
Why the Model Worked
The EA Board gave stakeholders a place to make decisions together, while utilization and asset tools made the existing technology landscape easier to understand. That combination helped the client move from isolated software purchases toward choices grounded in business needs and system fit.
