Case Study: HSBC achieves faster, data-driven architecture decisions with Bizzdesign Horizzon

HSBC cuts artifact creation from weeks to days with Bizzdesign

HSBC, one of the world's largest banking organizations, faced a significant challenge in gaining visibility into its vast and complex IT landscape spread across multiple global regions and lines of business. The bank's enterprise architecture team was tasked by the global CIO to create a consolidated overview to enable strategic decision-making, but efforts were hampered by disparate data sources, siloed teams using different taxonomies, and a reliance on manual tools like PowerPoint and Visio. To address this, HSBC selected the enterprise architecture platform Bizzdesign Horizzon to standardize efforts and create a unified view.

Bizzdesign implemented a solution that involved integrating data from numerous sources into the Horizzon platform and developing a standardized business capability model. This created a dynamic "bank on a page" view for stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making through comprehensive visualizations and roadmaps. The results were substantial: Bizzdesign's automation reduced artifact creation time from weeks to days, provided a single pane of glass for enhanced collaboration, and improved data quality. The platform also allowed for the generation of nearly 200 standardized roadmaps to assess impacts across the organization.
