Case Study: ACCA achieves faster digital transformation decisions with Bizzdesign Horizzon

ACCA drives 80% of investment decisions with Bizzdesign

ACCA, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, faced significant challenges in its digital transformation, grappling with technical debt from legacy ERP and CRM systems and a fragmented architecture spread across 30 separate repositories. This made obtaining a unified view for critical decisions, like application decommissioning, difficult and time-sensitive. To gain complete visibility and enable organization-wide change, ACCA turned to the vendor Bizzdesign and implemented its enterprise architecture platform, Bizzdesign Horizzon.

The solution from Bizzdesign involved consolidating ACCA's existing architectural artifacts into Horizzon using the ArchiMate standard, creating a connected digital architecture with an accurate application catalog. This provided the executive team with clear, consumable insights and interactive dashboards, bridging the gap between complex IT and business strategy. The results were substantial: strategic insights from Bizzdesign Horizzon now drive 80% of digital investment decisions, executive buy-in was secured, and a repeatable, standardized approach was established, saving considerable time on new projects and finally enabling successful decommissioning decisions.
