HOPEX Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
HOPEX Business Architecture
One of the modules of the HOPEX BPA product family, HOPEX Business Architecture is the most effective way to design and manage your business transformation roadmaps by basing them on clear strategic goals.
HOPEX Business Architecture consists of three phases: strategy definition, business matching and transformation roadmap creation. The first phase allows users to define the organization’s strategy and match the competencies to the defined strategy.
In the second phase of our product, it allows you to create competence maps. Then, it supports your ability to make competency evaluations in consideration of the competency maps created.
Business Requirements, Project & Process Matching
In the last phase, Business Architecture confirms whether your organization is moving on the right way by defining your enterprise road map and matching your enterprise strategy with your corporate competencies.
