Serene's Enterprise Architecture Value Model enumerates three top level categories of asserted value. The model focuses on tangible value and sets aside categories of value that are not clearly definable.
All services tangibly lower risk, provide measurable cost savings, and/or advance an organization’s pursuit of budget or revenue. The success of Serene engagements is judged internally by these metrics in order to align our efforts with our client’s success. In each engagement, Serene makes a commitment to its client's satisfaction and to providing measurable value once the plans and advice from the engagement are implemented.
