3. Red Hat has expanded from Linux based Company to Software Solutions provider to
Enterprise Customers.
Expanding Red Hat
From Operating System Company to Enterprise Solutions Provider
5. .....And As CIO Role is evolving, Solution Architects skills should also
expand to
Align with ‘C’ Level Executives
Position our offerings as Business Transformation tools
Understand Business needs and align Business strategy with technical
strategy
…..Expand Skills
7. Enterprise Architecture
(What is Enterprise Architecture - Definition)
Enterprise architecture (EA) is "a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise
analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at all times,
for the successful development and execution of strategy.
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a discipline for proactively and holistically leading
enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the execution of
change toward desired business vision and outcomes.
Enterprise architecture (EA) is the organizing logic for business process and IT
capabilities reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s
operating model.”

8. Difference Between SA and EA
An EA takes a strategic, inclusive and long
term view at goals, opportunities and
challenges facing the company
A SA is focused on specific solution and
addresses technological details complied to
standards, roadmaps and strategic objectives

14. Architecture Frameworks
Framework– A conceptual structure used to develop, implement and sustain an
enterprise architecture.
A number of frameworks exist in the industry.
Examples includes:
Zachman Framework
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF)
OMB Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and
The Gartner Methodology (formerly the Meta Framework).
Provides tested and repeatable process for developing architectures

18. Architecture Development Frameworks
(Top 4 Frameworks- Comparison)

Each framework possesses different strengths and weaknesses, which
makes it difficult to find any one existing framework that is ideal for all
situations.
Rating Scale:
1. Poor
2. Inadequate
3. Acceptable
4. Very Good
19. Conclusion - Architecture Frameworks
Most Frameworks have different evolutions
Most Frameworks serve different Purposes
Most Frameworks are different in Scope
Most Frameworks are based on different Principles
Most Frameworks have different Structures
Most Frameworks are supported by different approaches
Most Frameworks are different in compliancy with the Clinger
