HIT provides business architectures and blueprints that include and interrelate all managerial and business economical aspects from both the strategic management perspective and the engineering perspective. Integrating business management and cost and management accounting. Managers get a clear overview of their business, while engineers are provides with all the definitions, structures and tools for elaborating architectures and blueprints. This way strategy can be translated into real world operations and back. The features of our business architecture and blueprints are listed here below.

• That current investments are secured, because existing architectures are easily adopted and extended.
• Easy translation between the various architecture frameworks.

Service based costing

The Architecture includes the Service Based Costing(SBC)™-solution, that relates costs to the managerial business objects. SBC adds the financial perspective to the managerial perspectives of the business architecture. This way the architecture supports all strategic management perspectives and objectives (see the special on hooking up strategies). Read more in the SBC-special.
