Corporate Overview

Gavroshe specializes in delivery of strategic Information Resource Management (IRM) solutions within the context of the Zachman Framework, the Corporate Information Factory (CIF) and the Government Information Factory (GIF). Our Practice is guided by the principles espoused by John Zachman, the father of Enterprise Architecture and Bill Inmon, the father of Data Warehousing and a leading light in the Information Factory arena.
 
We are specialists in the Methods, Tools and Techniques which support a pragmatic approach to Information Resource Management (IRM). Our Seven Streams Approach ™ strikes a balance between a long-term Architectural view on the one hand, and the very real need to have quick effective implementation releases, providing immediate business value on the other hand.

We subdivide our IRM Practice into seven broad categories:

•  Enterprise Architecture (EA).
•  Corporate Information Factory (CIF).
•  Government Information Factory (GIF).
•  Metadata Management (MM).
•  Data Quality Management (DQM).
•  Training and Education.
•  IT Service Management

Within the scope of these Practice Areas, we use proven techniques to:

•  Scope out the Demand - reviews/discovery of major organizational subject areas / key processes.
•  Assess Supply Capabilities - reviews of governance, program management and organizational issues.
•  Provide Health Assessments and Preliminary Recommendations for IRM Supply and Demand.
•  Plan, Analyze, Design and Implement IRM Solutions.
•  Transfer Knowledge to Achieve Best-Practices.

Many other Consultants provide Project-based services. We build Enterprise Programs that can be sustained over time. Other Consultants work inside a 'black box'; we prefer a mentorship-driven engagement. Our approach is focused on the use of training, structured mentorship and joint development teams to build program skills and components for our customers.  No "black box" technologies or templates are used and customer resources are fully empowered as part of the solution team.
 
We are independent consultants with deep skills and a steadfast dedication to the IRM Profession. We operate on 3 continents and our corporate culture is international and highly mobile.

Our Mission

To weave the disciplines of Enterprise Architecture and Information Resource Management into the organizational fabric of our Customers, hence ensuring their sustained success, continuous improvement and ability to effectively manage change.
