Essence of EA

“A proven, professional way of managing change where
business and IT come together that delivers results”

“Joined up, strategy, business process and IT, enabling
efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility: cheaper, better,
quicker to innovate and change

“For example………………”

An approach (doing EA). And a thing (creating an EA)

As Is To Be

Trying to understand EA
(UCLAN)
EA is a methodology and set of tools and techniques used to manage
organisational change involving ICT, and can be used in combination with
Prince2, TOGAF and ITIL to help deliver a specific business and IT change
projects.
What separates EA from other methodologies and tools is that it provides a
holistic and joined-up understanding of the business and supporting ICT:
making sure these two elements of any organisation – the business and
ICT – work together properly and are fully aligned, and that the latter –
the ICT – is led by the former – the business needs.
The unique selling point of EA is that it allows you to understand the
relationships and dependencies between the layers that make up most
organizations:
Business layer: vision, strategy, information, business processes
Service / application layer: data, services, applications
Technology layer: infrastructure and systems
It forces you to break away from the typical business and IT divide and silo
mentality. Ultimately EA ensures that the ICT is strategically directed.

Archimate®

ArchiMate®, an Open Group Standard, is an open and independent
modelling language for enterprise architecture that is supported by different
tool vendors and consulting firms. ArchiMate provides instruments to enable
enterprise architects to describe, analyze and visualize the relationships
among business domains in an unambiguous way.

Just as an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes
the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, ArchiMate
offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of
business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems,
and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design,
assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes
within and between these business domains.

EA Workshop Intro 29 March 2012: slide 29

For discussion

• What are the main things you’ve learned so
far?
• How do you want to use the EA approach in
your projects?
• What else do you need
- info, knowledge, contacts, support
Please summarise on the magic sheet!


What Is Enterprise Architecture?
The ‘FD Test’
• OK, so what is EA? • “A disciplined way of managing
change where business
• Why the interest? strategy and IT are involved
• Being joined up, so processes,
information and systems work
together, cut costs and increase
quality and service to
customers – and stay that way”
• For HE & FE: More with less,
and better. Effective
As Is >> To Be information is key to survival
and beyond. The digital
business platform.
• The ‘3 Es’


What is EA? Why do it? What are the benefits?

to be able to predict / anticipate problems
before they happen

Don’t try this on the VC..…..
"The fundamental organization of a
system, embodied in its components,
their relationships to each other and the
environment, and the principles
governing its design and evolution."
IEEE
“An enterprise architecture (EA) is a conceptual
blueprint that defines the structure and operation of an
organization. The intent of an enterprise architecture is to
determine how an organization can most effectively achieve
its current and future objectives.!

EA is Business driven

• Meeting a need, solving a problem, enabling a
project
• Business case: ‘20-25%’ improvement
• Engagement:
– management, IT, academic
– different worlds, breaking ‘silos’
– Usually IT led, and challenging!
• Governance key
