Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture
ISO/IEC 42010:
Architecture: the structure of a
system in terms of
• its components,
• their externally visible properties,
• their relations,
• and the underlying principles
“Structure with a vision”
EA is about understanding an entire enterprise as a system!
Why Enterprise Architecture?
•
Managing change and
complexity:
– Aligning business and IT
– Outsourcing
– Impact analysis
– Project support (project start architectures)
– Portfolio management
– Communication with stakeholders
– …
•
Obtaining insight in current
situation (as-is)

ArchiMate is an instrument for modelling, maintaining, communication and analyses of Enterprise Architectures
Views on Enterprise Architecture
•
A
process
– Way of working
– Aimed at the development and use of enterprise architectures within an enterprise
– With people and resources
•
A
product
– A design that shows the coherence between products,
processes, organisation, information supply and infrastructure, based on a vision and certain
explicit starting points, principles and preferences
•
With the objective of
steering changes
Process architecture
Application architecture Technical architecture Information architecture ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Responsible for establishing data quality standards, data taxonomies and offering input to how information is exchanged internally and externally.
Equivalent of a city planner:
Establishes standards and offer guidance aimed at sustaining the business objectives long term. It is important to realise that much of the role is business/commercially focused.
Working within the established enterprise architecture (or not if one doesn’t exist!) they provide technology solutions
based on defined business requirements.
Advises on items like network requirements, protocols, hardware etc. Where the solution architect is mainly
concerned with things at a logical level the technical architect is more focused on the physical networks/equipment

Boxes & lines
•
Boxes become concepts
•
Lines become relations
•
A modelling language
contains concepts,
relations, semantics, rules
and notation
Why one language?

Communication
•
No ambiguity

Coherence

Consistency

ArchiMate
®
• A common language for describing architectures
• Covers business, application and technology layers
– With relations between these layers
• Graphical language with formal semantics, enabling analysis and tool support
• Techniques for visualization and analysis, aimed at various stakeholders
• Open standard maintained by The Open Group
• See www.opengroup.org/archimate or
An umbrella language
•
Bridges the gap from free
format strategy pictures to
technical diagrams
•
Makes EA understandable
throughout the organization
•
Integrated modelling
•
On a global level
•
Relates to standards for
domain modeling
– Process modelling, software design, detailed infrastructure models

Important notions (IEEE 1471)
• A stakeholder is a person or organisation with a certain interest in (part of) an architecture
• A view is a representation of a system from the perspective of a set of concerns of one or more stakeholders. A view is what you see.
• A viewpoint is where you are looking from. It defines how to build a view, e.g. by means of a template.
• Different stakeholders
– Have different interests and use different concepts
– Have different views
– Have different viewpoints
Example viewpoint en view
Example 1
• Stakeholder: city council
• Concern: development plan
• Viewpoint: photo of district from the air
• View: Aerial Example 2
• Stakeholder: house owner
• Concern: building permit
• Viewpoint: Corner of the street, scope is one house

Why not dive straight into UML?
•
Business people just don’t understand
it!
•
Not designed for enterprise
architecture
•
Lack of integration of business,
application and technical infrastructure
aspects
•
Too many details
•
No explicit service paradigm

Many diagrams = many models

Organizations that benefit from
ArchiMate
•
Financial services, government, transport,
construction, energy, utility, media, healthcare,
social security, services and education
Benefits experienced
• “ArchiMate closes the gap between “free-format” strategy models and detailed solutions architecture models”
• Consistent and integrated modelling
– sharing knowledge
– integration of the models
– generating views
– creating analyses
• Insight in the various domains and the relations between these
• Open standard, no vendor lock-in
• “ArchiMate makes it easier to communicate with architects over organization boundaries, domain boundaries and from architect to designer”
Some lessons learned
• Pilot ArchiMate to create real-life experience and work on a success story
• Create your own sub-set of the metamodel (31 x 10 is heavy)
– Select and learn, extend if needed
• Train people to optimize benefit
• Integrate modelling effort with…
– the EA process (TOGAF ADM or any other)
– EA governance (Validate the models)
– other modelling efforts (Process modelling, Software modelling
• Be aware that standardizing the language for EA can be an major chance for individual architects
– Less/More formal
– Less/More detailed
– Focus changes from modelling one-time views to information gathering, model in a shared environment and generate views
The future of ArchiMate
•
Extensions on requirements modelling,
principles and projects
•
Further integration with TOGAF
•
Formalizing relations with other languages
•
More user groups
