ABC Systems (ABC), a system provider to the financial services sector since 1968, has embarked on significant organizational change in recent years as market conditions have changed and new corporate strategies have been articulated.

While ABC has started the process of change in a number of areas, adherence to Enterprise Architecture (EA) principles can help the organization to achieve its goals more efficiently and cost-effectively. Acquisitions, involvement in new industries and new lines of business, and the challenges of maximizing current investments will keep ABC busy for the foreseeable future.
This paper endeavors to define the environment in which ABC operates, identify specific architectural challenges presented to the company, and provide recommendations for effectively and efficiently overcoming those architectural challenges.
Specifically, this paper looks at ABC in the context of the TOGAF framework and specific solutions are recommended from an organization-specific perspective. While many important architectural elements are available to ABC, the ultimate success of its articulated corporate strategies ties closely to the success of its EA efforts to address and remediate identified architectural issues.
