Business architecture
Effective technology strategy begins with a clear and robust business architecture. At Reed Talent Solutions we define and develop this foundation by understanding how your organisation operates and where it wants to go. We then translate that vision into a structured technology roadmap that enables scalable, efficient, and secure transformation.
Our approach ensures:
Technology is driven by business need, not the other way around
Architectural decisions reflect operational realities, regulatory environments, and strategic ambition
Cloud, hybrid, or on-premise models are selected based on clear criteria, such as workforce distribution, data sovereignty, or compliance requirements
We use industry-standard frameworks such as The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) to map business capabilities to enabling technologies. This structured approach supports:
Accurate technology investment planning
Clear definition of business-to-technology alignment
Creation of target operating models that reflect your evolving needs
Our team of experts give you the clarity to define, design, and execute change confidently, backed by measurable business value.
