Enterprise Architecture Introduction Why Enterprise Architecture aligning Business
Enterprise Architecture – Introduction… Why Enterprise Architecture - aligning Business with IT 1 6. 11. 2020
… with the intent of avoiding chaos… … and even if an individual house is well architected, if each house is different (e. g. different electricity voltage, water pressure) then the city will not work… 2 6. 11. 2020
Benefits with Enterprise Architecture • Align business and IT objectives and resources • Efficient decision-making through established principles, models, standards, and processes • Improve communication, prioritization, and governance of initiatives • Increase time-to-market by reducing lead time for installing and testing technology (have the technology ready before it is needed) • Simplify integration problems through compliance with architecture • Reduce costs by retiring duplicative or outdated assets • Provide a foundation for skills development • Follow an established roadmap for infrastructure development 3 6. 11. 2020

Enterprise Architecture Definition… 5 6. 11. 2020
…. there are several – here is one EA enables: § Alignment between Business and IT § Governance § Transition § Realisation of Business and IT Strategies An IBM study agreed a definition that balances EA’s “upstream” and “downstream” values EA provides reference material in many forms “The EA discipline defines and maintains the architecture models, governance and transition initiatives needed to effectively co -ordinate semi-autonomous groups towards common business and/or IT goals. ” goals. “ EA works at many levels 6 6. 11. 2020 EA ensures the architecture is maintained and used EA can address the business and IT domains EA is not just passive or reactive, it is proactive
Two important aspects of Enterprise Architecture “upstream” (doing the right things) and “downstream” (doing things right) “good navigation” – Upstream: Doing the right things • Identifying, funding & resourcing the most important programmes, in line with the business strategy and within the investment budget, in the right sequence, and with effective programme management and control. – Downstream: Doing things right “good engineering” • Ensuring the solutions delivered by these programmes meet the needs of the business, work within the existing IT environment and contribute towards the realisation of the enterprise’s IT strategy. 7 6. 11. 2020

Enterprise Architecture Framework Organising, storing and using architectural information (models and building blocks) in support of transition planning and delivery project guidance 14 6. 11. 2020
The EA Framework consist of horizontal- and vertical aspects… External to architecture Functional Aspect of Architecture Operational Aspect of Architecture Enterprise Capabilities Business Architecture Information Systems Architecture Technology Architecture 15 6. 11. 2020 A good EA is driven from an assessment of the capabilities needed by the enterprise It is helpful to describe external influences in a consistent manner, such as “requirements” We need to include elements that help us deploy our Business & IT systems in a consistent and joined up fashion
…and then sub-dividing it into a number of “vertical” aspects to complement our “horizontal layers” External to architecture (Strategy) Events Operational Aspect of Architecture Functional Aspect of Architecture People Activities Data Location Enterprise Capabilities Business Architecture Information Systems Architecture We need to describe the events that the architecture must support, in terms of their business purpose and their operational characteristics Technology Architecture 16 6. 11. 2020 We need to describe the basic building blocks from which our systems are built. Typically, in an IT centric EA, these can be categorised into… We need to describe the operational structure needed and used by the enterprise; together with the manner in which the enterprise’s building blocks are distributed across this structure . . . And data; and the things required to People, their roles and support their storage skills; and the things and use within the required to give them enterprise’s IT systems access to the. . . Activities and enterprise’s IT Processes; and the systems… things required to automate and support their execution within the enterprise’s IT systems…
This gives us a powerful 2 dimensional EA architecture framework, the WORK PRODUCTS - of the EA Consulting Method’s architecture neighbourhoods Operational Aspect External to architecture Events But what. Strategy is the nature of these work products? Functional Aspect of Architecture People Activities Data Enterprise Capabilities Models? Sets of Building blocks? Both? Business Architecture We need to think again about these relationships… Information Systems Architecture Technology Architecture 17 6. 11. 2020 of Architecture Location Work Product
The EA Framework provides the structure for defining and managing Enterprise Architecture assets and functions as a reference catalog for use in solution architecting 18 Enterprise Capabilities and architecture principles are defined to reflect and be consistent with the business direction i. e. business strategy and IT strategy Business Architecture Business components or activities define “what the business needs to do” to realize the capabilities i. e. a business architecture has no regard for the use of automation Information Systems Architecture Application & data (business-specific) and technology (business-independent) services define “what IT needs to do” to support the business activities. An Information Systems Architecture describes those aspects of the business that are to be automated – sometimes known as the “business dependent IT architecture” Technology Architecture Application and technology components are structured into standard arrangements called Reference Architectures i. e. a Technology Architecture describes the underlying, “business independent” IT architecture needed to support automation 6. 11. 2020

Principles have a well-defined structure … • Name – A short name or title to identify the Principle • Rational – A statement of the Principle – The rationale or impetus behind the Principle • Implication – The consequences of adopting the Principle: potential transition initiatives, costs, and other implications 51 6. 11. 2020
Effectiveness of principles is dependent upon some key success factors • Ownership – By Architecture Review Board. • Engagement & Involvement – Created and endorsed by business and IT executives who have the authority to enforce. – Top-down support through leadership and action. • Compliance Process – Compliance to Principles needs to be part of governance process. • Communication – Architecture orientation and training. – Communication to all stakeholders and participants. 52 6. 11. 2020
The process of construction of Principles involves… Input Process Output Strategic Directions Define Principles Capability Model Key Business Requirements Interview Results Define Business Linkages (matrix) Validate Principles Used For Business Architecture IS Architecture IT Architecture Governance § The process is depicted sequentially for the sake of simplicity. In practice considerable iteration is involved. § Maintain a list of issues, decisions, assumptions, and transition considerations 53 6. 11. 2020
