1 Presentation Title by Your Name Your title/company ArchiMate The open standard language for modelling en visualizing enterprise architecture Remco Blom, BiZZdesign

2 ArchiMate We present the motivation for ArchiMate and its benefits. The main concepts, relations and views are discussed.

3 Do you recognize this? Information architecture? Product architecture Process architecture?? Application architecture? Technical architecture?

4 Proposed schedule Introduction Motivation and scope Framework & metamodel Examples Views and viewpoints Support for ArchiMate Experiences & Lessons learned Summary

5 Speaker squalifications EA consultant MSc. in Business TOGAF certified One of the leaders BiZZdesign sea consultancy practice Trainer in TOGAF and ArchiMate Finance, government, education, construction etcetera

6 Introduction BiZZdesign Software tools, training, consultancy, methods Strategy, Design, Operational The native implementation of ArchiMate: BiZZdesign Architect Also BiZZdesigner, RISKmanager, GRIP-manager, BPELexport, MDA 70 employees Enschede, Amersfoort, Leuven, Toronto Clients in government, financial services, production, education, etc. 6

7 Enterprise Architecture Some basic concepts

8 Enterprise Architecture ISO/IEC 42010: Architecture: the structure of a system in terms of itscomponents, their externally visible properties, their relations, and the underlying principles Structure with a vision EA is about understanding an entire enterprise as a system! How to model these components and relations in a coherent, consistent way?

9 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 Flickr by neil nathanson

10 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 Information architecture? Application architecture? Process architecture??? Technical architecture

11 Enterprise Architecture Application/solution Architecture 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. Data Architecture Technical Architecture Responsible for establishing data quality standards, data taxonomies and offering input to how information is exchanged internally and externally. 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

12 Ingredients of an EA Approach TOGAF ArchiMate Process Viewpoints Language Enterprise Continuum, Repository, Reference Models

13 Boxes & lines Boxes become concepts Lines become relations A modelling language contains concepts, relations, semantics, rules and notation

14 Why one language? Communication No ambiguity Coherence Consistency Visualization Analysis

15 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 visualizationand analysis, aimed at various stakeholders Open standard maintained by The Open Group See

16 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 Flickr: Yassin Hassan

17 The ArchiMate Language High-level modelling within a domain ArchiMate language Basis for visualizations modelling relations between domains Relate to standards Basis for analyses

18 Layers, Aspects, and Domains Environment Business Information domain Product domain Process domain Organization domain Application Data domain Application domain Technology Technical infrastructure domain Passive object Behaviour verb Active subject

29 Viewpoints and views in ArchiMate Classifications and examples

30 Less is more let s ask the architect to leave out this rubbish, then we will get a nice result!

31 Important notions (IEEE 1471) A stakeholderis a person or organisation with a certain interest in (part of) an architecture A viewis 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 viewpointis 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 On the basis of one consistent architectural model

32 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 View: Ground photo

37 Support for ArchiMate Drawing diagrams Free format in Visio/OmniGraffle stencils Store, import, maintain, publish and analyze models EA tools (e.g. BiZZdesign Architect) Think big, start small!

38 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 ArchiMate works with views on one model

39 Refer detailed models to your ArchiMate models Take out insurance Request insurance Receive request Process request Collect premium Component diagram Transaction entry Bill creation Request Invoice Activity diagram Class diagram Financial Application

40 (some of the)organizations that benefit from ArchiMate Financial services, government, transport, construction, energy, utility, media, healthcare, social security, services and education Various case studies available

41 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 Ease of use, low complexity, step-by-step growth in advanced use

42 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

43 The future of ArchiMate Extensions on requirements modelling, principles and projects Further integration with TOGAF Formalizing relations with other languages More user groups.

44 ArchiMate Summary Language for EA modelling Covers business, application and technology layer With relations between these layers Services as central concepts Graphical language with formal semantics, enabling analysis and tool support Unambiguous, integrated, coherent and consistent Analyses (Impact-of-change, GAP, etc) An open standard related to TOGAF Generate various views, maintain one model Flexible and adjustable Easy to get started (2/3 day training) Supported in tools and by service providers
