Systems Integration and Architecture 1

The practice of analyzing, designing, planning, and implementing enterprise analysis to successfully execute business strategies.

The process of bringing together legacy processes and applications to create a cohesive, efficient digital environment.

A framework that helps companies manage and integrate technology effectively to achieve their business goals.

The challenges faced when integrating different systems and technologies within a company.

A set of principles and practices used to guide the development and implementation of an organization's EA, including aligning IT with business strategies and managing technology changes.

A blueprint for designing, building, and managing an organization's IT infrastructure, processes, and systems. It defines the key elements and relationships involved in enterprise architecture.

A formal structure that outlines the key elements and factors used in enterprise architecture. It provides a skeleton or structure to follow when practicing enterprise architecture.

A system of classifying and organizing the components of an enterprise architecture based on their characteristics.

A set of interconnected concepts and categories that describe the components of an enterprise architecture, their properties, and relationships between them.

A tool that assists in thinking about and developing an enterprise architecture. It provides various options and approaches for configuring and implementing the architecture.

TOGAF stands for The Open Group Architecture Framework. It's a comprehensive framework for designing and managing enterprise architectures. It was based on the TAFIM (Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management), developed by the US government.

The Architecture Capability Framework outlines how an organization should establish and manage an architecture practice. It addresses essential elements like processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities.

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) is the core of TOGAF. It provides a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.

The Architecture Content Framework defines the structure and elements of architectural artifacts. It emphasizes re-usable building blocks and provides a framework for architecting deliverables.

TOGAF provides several benefits for organizations, including consistency in architecture design, alignment with stakeholder needs, and effective use of best practices. It also helps manage the complexities of multi-vendor environments. It simplifies and de-risks the architecture development process, enabling the creation of open systems-based solutions to address business challenges.

A platform hosting software execution. It represents a potential platform during early design, later mapped to an actual platform.

Physical data paths between nodes, forming the network structure.

A grouping of nodes, representing a geographical area.

Smallest software or data unit placed on a node. It represents the smallest architectural placement decision. One or more components can be combined to form a deployment unit.

Represents the installation and execution of components, indicating how software is actually being run.
