Business architecture was introduced at VSP Vision Insurance six-to-seven years ago, yet the company still struggled with acceptance at senior levels of the organiza tion. The gap between the strategic team and business architecture was clear, but the potential to partner with Solution Architects in the technical division to understand their needs and inform them of the benefits of business architecture existed. Networking and collaborating with the strategic and technical teams led to the creation of additional artifacts and mappings that provided a clear view of the benefits of business architecture and facilitated a bridge between business objectives and technical execution. This session will discuss this journey, artifacts employed, and PMO processes introduced to interface with business architecture and other areas of the company
