The TESy-Framework supports digital transformation.
TESy built over many years and recently refreshed
TESy-Framework v.2.0 is available!
The TESy version 1.0 has been developed in 2016 as part of a master dissertation on Data Quality and IT Governance. The TESy-Framework v.2.0 has been reworked based on exentive research.

The TESy-Framework and its components
The transformation ecosystem framework consists of 6 main components and 36 sub-components. All components are listed and described on this page. The way to use this framework is quite simple; keep your transition goal in mind and brainstorm on each TESy component if and how it is impacting you and/or your organisation.
External Factors
External factors are considered outside of your organisation. They usually influence your organisation but also the other way round. As an organisation, you need to find a way of monitoring and dealing with these factors in order to find niches or to secure your current market positioning.
Organisation
The Organisation is meant to represent your own organisation where the transformation should take place. It is a group of people who form a business, in order to achieve a certain aim.
Relationship
The relationship component represents the relationships to external parties or stakeholders who might be relevant for the transformation.
Governance
The Governance component is outside the Organisation component as the same transformation teams work across multiple Organisations. The Governance can be seen as ongoing or as a project.
Enterprise Architecture
The Enterprise Architecture component represents various model needed to understand the AS-IS and the TO-BE scenarios for the transition. Models are usually seen as graphical representation but it could be also other more table-oriented representations.
Culture
The Culture component has been added in the TESy Framework 2.0 as the recent research proved that for every transformation the cultural impact plays a vital role.
