Case Study: St.George Bank strengthens IT architecture compliance and knowledge sharing with Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

St.George Bank streamlines IT architecture access with Sparx Systems, reaching 20-30 page views per visit

St.George Bank, Australia's fifth largest retail bank, faced the challenge of modeling its entire IT infrastructure to create an easy-to-navigate graphical map for regulatory compliance, strategic planning, and knowledge retention. They partnered with vendor Sparx Systems and utilized their product, Enterprise Architect, a CASE tool, to build a centralized and robust model repository.

The solution implemented by Sparx Systems provided a centralized SQL Server repository with excellent HTML publishing capabilities for the bank's intranet. This allowed users to graphically surf and drill down into the architectural landscape. The project was a success, with over half of the bank's Solution and Enterprise Architects visiting the published model daily for 3-7 minutes, quickly finding the information they needed and significantly improving efficiency.
