This document discusses mapping vendor software solutions to a business capability model for the mining industry. It begins with an overview of application portfolio management in mining and the development of an application classification reference model to categorize the diverse set of applications used. A key focus is the Exploration, Mining, Metals and Minerals (EMMM) business capability model. The presentation aims to demonstrate how the application classification model can be mapped to the EMMM model to help analyze vendor solutions against core mining business capabilities.

Application Portfolio Management
Overview
 Provides an inventory of the company's software applications and defining
attributes and metrics to analyse the cost, business benefits and usage.
 Typically starts with the compilation of an application inventory containing
descriptions and categorisation.

Points to Note
 It’s a v 00.01!
 Treated as an in-house project - have not validated model with
industry specialists
 Main Source of Information:
 Findings were mainly based on marketing material & product
brochures available on the web – mapping not confirmed by
vendors
 Vendors included – as many as we could find, but probable that
many have been overlooked, particularly in non English speaking
countries (e.g. India, China)
 Survey was done in 2012 – have not updated information based
changes to vendor solution offerings

EMMM Business Capability Model
Overview
The Exploration and Mining Business
Capability Map
Business Capability:
A Business Capability refers
to the highest-level
business functionality
encapsulating People,
Process, Technology and
Data. It describes what a
company is required to do
but defines no detail about
how to achieve it.
The EMMM is an industry
forum operating under the
auspices of The Open
Group. The forum defines
standards for the
exploration and mining
industry, for all metals and
minerals.

The EM Reference
Framework defines a
reference for concepts
within the exploration and
mining industry. This
Business Capability map is
the second deliverable of
the framework.

Way Forward & Closing Remarks
 Propose to incorporate the Application Classification Reference
Model in EMMM Forum
 Call to action for vendors to verify mapping and contribute
 Call to action for mining organisations to use the reference material
as input into application portfolio exercises
 Confirm mapping between the Application Classification Reference
Model and the EMMM Business Capability Model
