Introduction to Enterprise Architecture
- Architecture combines art and science for designing complex systems within their environments.
- Serves as a strategic tool to guide organizations in planned development toward common goals.
Definitions
- Enterprise: A collection of organizations aligned with shared goals and outcomes.
- Enterprise Architecture (EA): Coherent principles, methods, and models used to design organizational structure, business processes, and information systems.
External Drivers
- Factors affecting business and IT strategies include:
- Regulatory frameworks
- Government laws
- Industry standards and technological advancements
Governance in Enterprise Architecture
- Strategic Management: Identifies and implements long-term goals.
- Balanced Scorecard (BSC): Management system focusing on four perspectives:
- Customer
- Financial
- Internal business processes
- Learning and growth
Business Model Development
- Outlines products/services, target markets, and anticipated expenses.
- Business Model Canvas: Template for high-level descriptions of business models, covering:
- Value propositions
- Key activities and resources
- Key partners

- Channels, cost structure, and revenue streams
Enterprise Architecture Process Overview
- Steps include idea generation, analysis, design, implementation, and ongoing management.
Quality Management
- Involves overseeing organizational activities to maintain desired quality levels in products and services.
IT Governance and Support
- Ensures efficient use of IT for achieving organizational goals.
- COBIT: IT control framework specifying 'good practices' for governance.
- ITIL: Best practices in IT service delivery that guide organizational IT services effectively.
Symbolic and Semantic Models
- Symbolic Model: Uses symbols to express system properties.
- Semantic Model: Provides interpretations for the symbols in a symbolic model.
IT Implementation
- Combines developed software with management and engineering processes.
- Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI): Framework assessing and improving organizational maturity across five levels:
- Initial: Chaotic processes
- Managed: Controlled and measured processes
- Defined: Standardized processes
- Quantitatively Managed: Established quality and performance criteria
- Optimizing: Continuous improvement focus
ArchiMate Language
- Developed by The Open Group, it is an open modeling language for enterprise architecture, supported by various tools and consulting firms.
