OBASHI The OBASHI methodology provides a framework and method for capturing, illustrating and modeling the relationships, dependencies and dataflows between business and Information technology (IT) assets and resources in a business context. A Business and IT (B&IT) diagram built using the OBASHI Framework. It is a formal and structured way of communicating the logical and physical relationships and dependencies between IT assets and resources (Ownership, Business Processes, Applications, Systems, Hardware, and Infrastructure) to define the business services of a modern enterprise. The name OBASHI is a licensed trademark of OBASHI Ltd. Core Principle[edit] OBASHI is based around a core principle: that IT exists for one reason, namely, to manage the flow of data between business assets. Business resources (which include people) and IT assets are either providers of data, consumers of data or provide the conduit through which the data can flow. The Origins of OBASHI[edit] Characteristics[edit]

Gewachsene IT-Strukturen, Datenschutzrichtlinien sowie Abstimmungsschwierigkeiten zwischen Fachbehörden und verschiedene Zeitpunkte für Verfahrenseinführungen haben zu einem unübersichtlichen Bestand an Fachanwendungen geführt.
