Unisys 3D Blueprinting^TM Approach The Layers of Every Business

Every organization, in every industry, is made up of four business layers, with separate constituencies “owning” or focusing on each layer:

• Strategy: C-level executives
• Process:  line executives and managers
• Applications:  CIO, CTO and IT managers
• Infrastructure: data center and network managers  

The Unisys 3D Blueprinting^TM approach provides a visible perspective throughout the enterprise by showing the “cause-and effect” interconnections.  And they deliver traceability — the ability to see how changes in any one layer affect the others.

Combining process simulation with automated cost estimating, traceability can serve as the basis for objective business cases and ROI models for every change to strategy, business process, application, or infrastructure.  With that insight, you can prioitize initiatives and have confidence that your investment will deliver the expected returns.

The Strategy Layer

defines the business vision and operations model of an organization.  The maps and models we provide on this layer can be applied to merger or acquisition assessment, competitive assessment, opportunities mapping, partnership strategy, market analysis, governance and performance programs and IT Strategy and rationalization.

The Process Layer

makes clear business processes and related patterns, separating intellectual assets from implementation systems. That means when technology changes, processes don’t have to be re-created from scratch.  Maps and models on this layer include business process simulation and optimization, functional area optimization and consolidation, or IT practice standardization.

The Applications Layer

provides a robust model of the underlying applications supporting business processes. This helps ensure high quality, on-time development cycles and reusability of components.  Maps and models include IT transformation and portfolio rationalization, application re-hosting and re-deployment, architectural assessment and rationalization.

The Infrastructure Layer

includes major investments in legacy assets, package software, the hardware and operating environment and network infrastructure. Maps and models include network infrastructure rationalization and optimization, security infrastructure rationalization, systems management program and server consolidation.

Imagine it. Everything connected.

Done. That’s the Unisys 3D Blueprinting^TM approach.
