Sometimes it seems like the divide between business and technology is too large to bridge. Deloitte has developed an approach called Enterprise Business & Security Optimization (EBSO) that de-mystifies the integration challenge, making the seemingly impossible become possible.

To effectively undertake strategic business initiatives, organizations must transform themselves into knowledge-based enterprises, capable of leveraging their technology investments and managing risks. Deloitte's EBSO approach allows companies to bridge the divide between business and technology. EBSO unlocks measurable benefits resulting in tangible stakeholder value and more powerful IT management decision-making. 

Knowledge-based enterprises drive value
The key to achieving effective technology investments is not only driven by the type of technology used but by how business and technology together support the organization’s strategic initiatives. ESBO provides the tangible business benefits and operational gains that are possible with a cross-product and technology solution integration approach.

Deloitte’s ESBO approach:

• Maximizes shareholder value by integrating layers of policy, business process and technology that may result in a business-aligned information technology environment, a fundamental component in maximizing stakeholder value.
• Helps the organization to meet its compliance requirements and its strategic objectives by providing a multidimensional risk and maturity model to identify tactical and strategic opportunities, thereby harmonizing the risk profile and maturity model. This alignment may help organizations identify compound processes that facilitate new degrees of both business optimization and technical innovation.
• Reflects real-world business process scenarios, encompassing a full lifecycle implementation that may include specific technical, functional and operational requirements.
• Features compound processes (e.g., enabling continuous logging event correlation to access violation escalation) that may provide control of activities that previously might have been only loosely integrated. With ESBO, integration may be achieved across such core technology components as identity and access management, project and portfolio management, and application performance management.

Showcase
Deloitte continues the development of an 'integration to innovation' showcase to enable EBSO capabilities within a heterogeneous environment. The showcase includes a variety of market-leading third party software, highlighting a unified, flexible and agile approach: We deliver repeatable results by integrating our broad project and risk management methodology.
