3D Visible Enterprise:

A virtual model of

your business.What if you could see the results of

your business decisions before you

make them?

As a new way of seeing the inner

workings of an organization, the 3D

Visible Enterprise by Unisys makes

predicting the outcome of change

more a matter of analysis than of

guesswork. It does this through the

creation of a virtual model. This

model, 3D Visible Enterprise does

this through its ability to map all the

cause-effect relationships between

business vision, business operations

and the IT systems that support

them. Relationships that too often go

unseenfrequently resulting in

costly miscalculations and missed

opportunities.

But how? The answer is, by

blueprintingmappingthose

processes through a 3D Blueprint.Simply put, 3D Blueprinting starts

with a generalized blueprint of a

state-of-the-art business process

payments in banking or the inner

workings of the justice system, for

examplethen works with you toproduce a highly specific blueprint

of your enterprise, complete in

every detail.

Here its worth noting the

distinction between3D Blueprinting,

the process, and3D Blueprint,the result. In other words, 3D

Blueprinting involves taking a state-

of-the-artbut generalizedprocess

blueprint, then using it to build a

specific blueprint, one precision-

tailored to model your organization.

Artifacts: Heart of 3D

Blueprintingand the 3D

Visible Enterprise.At the center of this 3D Blueprinting

process is the creation of discreet

business modelsthe facts of your

business. We call these models artifacts.

The typical blueprint is comprised of

dozens of artifacts, the nuts and bolts

setting forth how real work gets done

in your company. Swim Lane Process.

Workflow. Business Case Specifications.

The Deployment Model. All are arti-

factsmission-critical digital records

that make possible the 3D Visible

Enterprise, an enterprise able to see

critical cause-effect relationships,

then act on them. In short, an enter-

prise ready to execute your vision,today and tomorrow.

The four layers of Unisys

3D Blueprinting.

To be useful, artifacts need to behighly organized, not only to retrieve

particular artifacts, but to reflect the

interests of the different

constituencies that use them.

Just as the CEO sees business

through a strategic lens and thesystems engineer through a technical

lens, each constituency will have

unique interests when it comes to 3D

Blueprinting and its artifacts. This is

why the 3D Blueprinting process

organizes artifacts into different

layers or views.

But the true power of 3D

Blueprintingand ultimately the 3D

Visible Enterprise that it supports

lies in its traceability, meaning, the

ability to see the cascading effects

that change in one layer has on all

the other layers. Imagine. Everything

connected. One of many instances

where the whole in 3D Blueprinting

is greater than the sum of its parts.

Layer 1: The Business Vision

and Operations Model.

The first layer, the Business Visionand Operations Model would have

the most interest to a CEO and other

executive management. It defines

through a digital mapthe business

vision and operations model of an

organization. We do this by mappingthe elements of this modelbusiness

objectives, organizational measures

and competitive frameworkto

corresponding business practices.

Here our industry experts use their

knowledge of business process and

technology to connect the dotsbetween strategy and execution.

Layer 2: The Business

Process Model and Patterns.

The second layer, the Business ProcessModel and Patterns, is for a more

operational audience, looking to

carry the vision into core operations.

In this layer, we find a modeledcharacterization of the business

processes and related patternsthe

key being to separate intellectual

assets from the implementation

systems. Why separate the two?

Because when the technologychanges, you neednt start from

scratch, recreating process assets

effectively bound up in the old code.

Instead of being essentially wasted,

those process assets can go straight

into the new system.

Layer 3. The Functional

and Application Model.

The third layer, the Functional andApplication Model, is mostly for the

engineer. Thats because it provides

a robust model of the underlying

applications that support the

business processes in Layer 2.

This ability to model the functions

and applicationthen bring them

into a Web-based service-orientedarchitectureallows a flexibility

that simply was not possible in

the previous technology.

Layer 4: The

Infrastructure Model.

Much of your IT investment istied directly to the infrastructure

investment shown in the Infrastructure

Model of Level 4. An Infrastructure

Model best leverages existing

information technology investments

in legacy assets, package software,

the hardware and operating

environment and infrastructure.Above all, it allows organizations to

seeeasilywhere infrastructure

services truly add value.

Whats your ROC

(return on customers)?

For airlines, its imperative to lowerthe cost per mile. But it doesnt much

matter if you dont fill seats, and that

means connecting with customers.

How?

Not with current systems.

Hailing from the 1970s, legacy airlinereservation and departure systems

focus on operations, not customers.

Compounding the problem,

partnerships, multiple business

models and profit management have

stretched operations about as far astheyll go. As for the current fixes,

be patient. The average legacy

enhancement could take nine

months or longer.

Its a different story with the

Airline Reservation Framework, a

comprehensive suite of modular,platform-independent, Web-based

airline reservations and departure

control applications: Everything

needed for booking, departure and

inventory management. But theres

more. Customer focus. Speed ofimplementation. Reduced costs and

streamlined processthats just the

start of what Airline Reservation

Framework delivers. Add to that that

lower cost of ownership and operation.

Fits the bill.

New competitors. A host of e-trends

requiring technology upgrades.Legislative and regulatory pressures.

Volume shifts and electronification.

In the struggle to adjust, banks need

a forward-thinking payments

strategy. But where?

The reality is, for both electronicand paper payments, most banks have

aging applications and antiquated

administrative solutionssolutions

built around products, disparate

systems and silos, not speed. Whats

missing? A 3D Blueprint that mapsboth technology and business

processes. And that does so across

the enterprise, identifying patterns

to avoid costly redundancies. The

result is less to manage and fix, and

greater ROI.

From digital imaging and

workflow to cross-border payments,

from truncation to anti-moneylaundering, banks need an agile,

real-time solution.

Unisys Enterprise Payments

3D Blueprint fits the bill. Drawing

on our deep industry expertise

(22 of the top 25 global banks asclients and solutions that process

more than half of the worlds

checks), our Blueprint integrates

payments view, data and processing.

At the same time, our 3D

Blueprint eliminates overlapping

transaction services, ensuring that

both business strategy and

administrative processes intelligently

deploy not only new but existing

technology. And incidentally, by

blueprinting common processes,

these solutions work just as well in

an outsourced environment.

Either way, the bottom line is the

same: improved customer service and

channel management, competitive

advantage through business agility,

and reduced operating costs.

The whole fix.

Patch aging legacy systems with quick-fix solutions? Much as insurers have

tried, the usual result is even more

disparate systems. Its all part

of the never-ending quest for an

enterprise strategy to break down

product silos, share data and containcosts. So, whats needed? A blueprint

that maps technology and business

processes, identifying patterns to avoid

redundancies and maximize ROI.

Todays insurers need agile

solutions that integrate multipledata sourcessolutions that can make

smart, fast product decisions

customized to a policyholders

particular needs and life events.

But thats not all. Insurers need

real-time processes to better manage

risk and respond to unpredictable

market events. To turn policy inquiries

into immediate sales opportunities,

they need Web services integrated

seamlessly with business strategy.

They also need systems that can

quickly evolveto better respond to

customers by more quickly embracingnew technologies. They need equal

agility to adjust to an ever more

complex regulatory environment.

Unisys Insurance 3D Blueprints

make sense out of multiple delivery

channels. Connecting often disparatepieces, it ensures that both agent and

carrier administrative and business

processes are able to integrate both

new and existing technology,

efficiently managing the entire life-

cycle of each policy-holder even as itties in other areas of the business:

risk management, claims processing,

CRM systems and more.

Drawing on its deep industry

expertise (8 out of the top 10 life

insurers and 5 of the top 10 globalP&C insurers), Unisys identifies and

reuses recurring processesand their

supporting technologyto eliminate

redundancies, contain costs and

generate new sales opportunities.

Also, thanks to 3D Blueprinting,these solutions work just as

efficiently in-house as in an

outsourced environment.

The bottom line: improved

customer service and channel

management, competitive advantagethrough business agility, and reduced

operating costs.

Agile to execute.

Arguably, no industry on earth has

systems older and newer and morepatched over than that of the

banking and mortgage industry

especially when you factor in the

added chaos of mergers and

acquisitions. Ancient legacy systems.

Quick-fix niche systems. Spaghetti-like interfaces. The result is a system

as intricate and complex to operate

as it is expensive to maintain.

Imagine, then, a system built

to out-change change. With our

Banking and Mortgage 3D Blueprint,you have real-time customer and

account information at all touch

pointsanytime.

It begins with customer-centered

designspeeding administration and

giving one customer view and, with it,greater flexibility in designing the right

products. It also takes into account the

strong differences among countries, as

far as accounting rules, taxes, and

complex interest calculations.

Swift. Secure. Connected.

Its time to end the stovepipes in our

justice systemthe gaps that slowjustice and leave dangerous gaps in

the mission-critical net of Justice,

Public Safety, and Homeland Security.

Not only do gaps hinder efficiency,

they open agencies to the kinds of

gaffes that stay forever in the headlines.

At the same time, the public demands

more accountabilityand greater

cooperation and information sharing.

Which means seamless systems.

The Unisys Integrated Justice

Information Sharing (IJIS) solutionsupports the secure exchange of vital

information, and then at key decision

points throughout the Justice System.

But Integrated Justice is more than

seamlessits flexible. Using Unisys

Model Driven Architecture approach,IJIS iteratively generates components

that can run on any platform, any

system, or any database.

Imagine. Inter-agency connectivity

at all government levels. Linked

records, with push and pull

technologies to deliver information

at key decision points. But IJIS

doesnt just improve shared

information; it secures it. Flexible

and extensible, its architecture

model driven using openstandardsdelivers the kind of

robust infrastructure built to last

because its built to change. And by

the way, it plays seamlessly with

legacy systems and everything else

in your IT environment, making themost of your investment.

Dont want to run it? Dont worry.

With business process outsourcing and

infrastructure outsourcing services, we

can take mission-critical processes off

your hands.

just got a whole lot tighter.

Artifacts are the facts.

As the facts, artifacts capture and

transmit the living details of a 3DVisible Enterprise. The result is a

virtual model of your business

Through traceability, the facts of

the artifact are dynamically connected

to every other fact. Meaning, the

cascading result of each changethechain of cause and effectcan be

traced through all other layers of the

3D Visible Enterprise.

Finally, artifacts collectively

transmit the future value of the 3D

Blueprinting process, with well-

architected, well-documented processes

that can be readily changed, again and

again. In fact, the artifacts schematics

here barely scratch the surface of the

architectural richness of 3D

Blueprinting. Or, for that matter, thepower to change that characterizes the

3D Visible Enterpriseenterprises

already defining the futures elite.

Artifacts, then, are the facts of the

3D Visible Enterprise, a model that can

be used to powerfully predict theoutcomes of key business decisions.

These facts live because, through 3D

Blueprinting, the facts within an

organization can change with

business conditions.

The 3D Visible Enterpriseanenterprise thats built to last because

its built to change.
