Enterprise Architecture Introduction

Enterprise Definition
Enterprise
Extended Enterprise
- Any collection of organizations that have common goals
- An enterprise will often span multiple organizations.
Comprises the partners, suppliers, and customers, as
well as internal business units.

Enterprise Definition
Enterprise Can Be
▷ Single department
▷ Chain of geographically distant
organizations
linked together by common ownership.
▷ Government Agency
▷ Whole Corporation
▷ Division of a corporation

Architecture Definition
#2
Structure of components, their inter-relationships, and principles
and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time.
#1
The fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its
environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in
the principles of its design and evolution.

Enterprise Architecture Definition
Conceptual blueprint
Defines the structure and operation of an organization
EA Intent to determine how to achieve current and future
objectives of organization
Mapping Business into IT
The organizing logic for business processes and IT
infrastructure reflecting integration and standardization
requirements of firm’s operating model.

EA & Lego Relation

EA & Lego Tips
Tip #1 : Lego box is a store for all building blocks
 The same is true for enterprise architecture
should have clearly structure Architecture repository ,
that contains all assets (Architecture BB , Solutions BB)

EA & Lego Tips
Tip #2 : Reusable building blocks
 The same is true for enterprise architecture
A building block is re-usable and replaceable, and well specified.
Same concepts with SOA

Segment Architecture
▷ Allows for direction setting and the development of
effective architecture roadmaps at a program or
portfolio level.
Capability Architecture
▷ Development of effective architecture
roadmaps realizing capability increments.

Architecture Repository

Architecture Repository - 1. Architecture Metamodel
Describes the organizationally tailored application of an architecture
framework, including a metamodel for architecture content

Architecture Repository – 2. Architecture Capability
Defines the structures, roles, responsibilities, skills, and processes
that support governance of the Architecture Repository

Architecture Repository – 3. Architecture Landscape
Architectural representation of assets deployed within the operating enterprise at
a particular point in time , for specific partition (Strategic , segment , capability)

Why enterprise lose revenue ?

Architecture Repository – 4. Standard Information Base (SIB)
Captures the standards with which new architectures must comply, which may
include industry standards, selected products and services from suppliers, or
shared services already deployed within the organization

Architecture Repository – 5. Reference Library
Provides reference material that can be leveraged in order to accelerate
the creation of new architectures for the enterprise
Patterns
Guidelines
Templates

Architecture Repository – 6. Governance Log
Provide a record of governance activity across the enterprise
Shared area to hold shared information related to ongoing governance of
projects

Architecture Repository – 7. Architecture Requirements Repository
Provides a view of all authorized architecture requirements
which have been agreed with the Architecture Board

Architecture Repository – 8. Solutions Landscape
Presents an architectural representation of the SBBs supporting the Architecture
Landscape which have been planned or deployed by the enterprise

5 Architecture Method (ADM)

Architecture Development Method ( ADM)
▷ Add and Consume B.B
▷ Can Apply Iterations ( ADM Guidelines)
▷ Can apply on different levels of details (Segmentation)
▷ Repeatable process for developing Architectures
▷ Include Establish Architecture Framework , develop Architecture
content , Transitioning , govern realization of architectures
▷ Iterative Cycle of Continuous architecture definition
▷ Transform enterprise in response to business goals and
opportunities
ADM focus Points

ADM Phases
Preliminary Phase
Determine the Architecture Capability
▷ Review the organizational context
▷ Identify the established frameworks, methods, and processes
that intersect with architecture capability
▷ Establish Capability Maturity target
Establish Architecture Capability
▷ Establish Organizational Model for EA
▷ Establish the detailed process for Architecture Governance
▷ Define architecture principles
▷ Select & implement tools to support Architecture Capability

ADM Phases
Phase A : Architecture Vision
▷ Develop Vision of the capabilities and business value to be
delivered for [iteration , partitioning ]
▷ Define scope , identify stakeholders , obtain approvals
▷ Evaluate Capabilities
Prelim
VisionVisionVision

ADM Phases
Phase B : Business Architecture
▷ Develop target business architecture that describes how the
enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals,
respond to strategic drivers
▷ Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components , based
on gaps between target and baseline business architecture

ADM Phases
Phase C : Information System Architecture

target business, data, and application building blocks to be delivered through
technology components and technology services , to address
stakeholder concerns.
▷ Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components , based
on gaps between target and baseline Technology architecture

ADM Phases

▷ Start Establish implementation , migration plan
▷ Solution Architect involved in this phase

ADM Phases
Phase F : Migration Planning
▷ Detailed implementation and migration plan by PMO
▷ Include [ cost , time , effort , resources ,
critical projects and align other projects
(strategic , segmented , capability)]

ADM Phases
Phase G : Implementation Governance
▷ Handover your projects to be implemented by
[ internal dev team , vendor , outsource]
▷ Compliance architecture to our business
[I Give you this / You deliver this / What is the gaps]

ADM Phases
Phase H : Architecture Change Management
▷ Ensure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained
▷ Ensure that the Architecture Governance Framework is
executed
▷ Ensure that the Enterprise Architecture Capability
meets current requirements

8 Guidelines & Techniques
▷ADM Iterations
▷Gap Analysis

Guidelines & Techniques
Techniques
Support specific tasks within the ADM
(such as defining principles, business
scenarios, gap analysis , CBP , etc.)
Guidelines
Address adapting the ADM to deal
with a number of usage scenarios
(e.g.,. the use for iteration) also
specific specialty architectures ( such
as security)

1. ADM Iterations

Iteration between ADM Cycles
Each iteration completes an ADM cycle at
a single level of Architecture Description.
This approach to the ADM uses Phase F
(Migration Planning) to initiate new more
detailed architecture development projects.

Iteration within an ADM Cycle
▷ Architecture Capability Iteration
▷ Architecture Development Iteration
▷ Architecture Transition Iteration
▷ Architecture Governance Iteration

Iteration within an ADM Cycle – Baseline first

Iteration within an ADM Cycle – Target first

ADM Iterations – Architecture Development Iteration
1. Define stakeholders view , viewpoints ,
concerns.
2. Reference model if exist , Building blocks if exist.
3. AS-IS architecture according to vision.
4. TO-BE architecture .
5. GAP analysis between AS-IS and TO-BE.
Phase B – Phase C – Phase D
Above steps depends of Vision of iteration
Step may be not existing according to Vision

3. Gap Analysis
