The Information FrameWork is a family of data, process
and object models to help financial institutions
transform cross-enterprise architectures.
Information FrameWork models identify and define over 80%
of the data, process and software component requirements
of a universal financial institution, operating in an
international environment. The Information FrameWork
model set is highly detailed, customizable and built on
open industry standards including UML and XML. Data can
be mapped from one model to another. By providing a set
of predefined business templates, a framework enables the
scoping, specification and design of information
solutions to business challenges.
