Agility through transparency: continuous visibility of dependencies in a fast changing environment
The Challenge
Due to the fast developments in applied industrial technology, IT and biotechnology, DuPont Pioneer, the world’s leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics and seeds, found itself with a need to manage data and rapid changes in a large and complex environment.
IT’s agility to respond to business demands were at stake.
The Solution
Plans improve areas such as SOA, repositories and data warehouse were missing a map of the how to get there. An end-to-end model of systems and data flows was created and associated to business processes and technologies. The ingestion process involved interviews with field architects, application owners and data architects.
In order to maintain visibility and transparency in such a rapidly changing environment, the usage of this information in the solution development and change management processes were given an emphasis. High-level solution designing and impact analysis happen now in the shared EA tool.
This may make all the difference as the ability to execute organizational transformation becomes a competitive advantage over time.
Agile yet structured architecture planning
Smooth implementation in 3 weeks
Three weeks onsite allowed for visibility of the architecture, identification of new requirements and selling the shared modelling capabilities in the tool to the users.
Ease of use
SAMU’s ease-of-use has enabled teams at DuPont Pioneer to start quickly and begin gaining insights from the tool immediately.
Create Source of Truth
Before SAMU every team treated data individually leading to duplication and naming conflicts but now they benefit from documentation and understanding interdependency.
