The Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) and The Open
Group have announced a partnership to integrate their individual
industry frameworks for specific use in the banking industry.
Mapping together these frameworks will accelerate project delivery,
while dramatically reducing IT integration costs.
BIAN and The Open Group have collaborated to produce a white
paper, in which the core elements of the two individual frameworks
have been projected onto each other. This is a practical document,
which will be used by enterprise architects within banks and the
vendor community who wish to reap the benefits of both architecture
frameworks.
There are clear synergies in using BIAN’s Service
Landscape in combination with TOGAF. When applying TOGAF, an Open
Group standard, in a banking environment, the BIAN content will
speed up the work by providing banking-specific architecture
content. On the flip side, TOGAF provides a structured approach and
adds value to the BIAN deliverables for the project approach and
capability to perform.
According to Hans Tesselaar, executive director of BIAN, The
Open Group will add much value to the BIAN open standards mission.
“We expect banks, which have already adopted TOGAF, will also
adopt the BIAN standard, and the banking industry can take another
step towards interoperability,” he said.
“Having identified a need within our member base for more
thorough standards specifically for banking, we approached BIAN to
work together. Its deep banking industry expertise complements The
Open Group’s industry-independent approach to open standards.
Together, we have a rapid and transformative ability to deliver SOA
frameworks to global banks and look forward to working with BIAN in
the future,” commented Allen Brown, CEO, The Open Group.
