Business Architecture

North Carolina’s business architecture gives a big picture of the state government from a business perspective. It answers questions about who the state government is, what it does, where it wants to go and how it serves residents and organizations.

Business architecture documents what capabilities and functions the state government has separate from the agencies that perform them. It outlines the state government’s business strategy, governance and organization.

Knowing this business architecture allows the state to:

  • Understand the connections between the governor’s and agencies’ priorities and technology
  • Ensure that applications purchased and developed support relevant capabilities
  • Maximize reusability, and help agencies with similar capabilities work together
