Your Challenge
Organizations have to adapt to a growing number of trends, putting increased pressure on IT to move at the same speed as the business.
The business, seeing that IT is slower to react, looks to external solutions to address its challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
IT and business leaders don’t have a clear and unified understanding or definition of an operating model.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
The IT operating model is not a static entity and should evolve according to changing business needs.
However, business needs are diverse, and the IT organization must recognize that the business includes groups that consume technology in different patterns. The IT operating model needs to support and enable multiple groups, while continuously adapting to changing business conditions.
Impact and Result
Determine how each technology consumer group interacts with IT. Use consumer experience maps to determine what kind of services consumer groups use and if there are opportunities to improve the delivery of those services.
Identify how changing business conditions will affect the consumption of technology services. Classify your consumers based on business uncertainty and reliance on IT to plan for the future delivery of services.
Optimize the IT operating model. Create a target IT operating model based on the gathered information about technology service consumers. Select different implementations of common operating model elements: governance, sourcing, process, and structure.
The challenge of alignment, integration and change in the development of e-services has gave attention to enterprise architecture. It provide the framework of engagement and thinking tool to define, elaborate, document, agree and communicate the strategic baseline, strategic intent, strategic architecture, strategic change and strategic resources in the development and improvement of e-services within the defined context and perspectives of time, stakeholders, performance, funds, environment, leadership and technology. The shared open presentation is a product of direct engagement with people of decision and work who are enabled to participate the formulation of enterprise architecture that matters to their performance.
The latest version of the TOGAF standard has special emphasis on Business Architecture, Digital Trends, and Business Transformation beyond IT. Stuart Macgregor takes us through some of these changes to the TOGAF® 9.2 standard and discuss how they will benefit us.

This presentation covers the organizational layout, EA Services and EA Governance processes necessary to develop and govern a technology strategy effectively.
Introduction to Enterprise Architecture Leo Shuster
If you ever wanted to find out what Enterprise Architecture was, this is the presentation for you. It gives you a basic understanding of Enterprise Architecture, its goals, objectives, and benefits.
The TOGAF® Architecture Development Method recommends that "an architecture description be encoded in a standard language". As the Open Group standard for enterprise modeling, Archimate is a strong candidate for this role. This presentation will explore how a diversified financial services company selected and is using Archimate for its TOGAF® implementation. The speaker will compare available enterprise modeling languages and explain why Archimate was selected, and will explain how his organization developed an enabling metamodel and diagram templates using a leading enterprise modeling tool. Methodology transition will also be covered, including how existing diagram types were mapped to TOGAF®, and how TOGAF® diagram content was mapped to Archimate.

Digital Transformation And Enterprise ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
Digital transformation - extending and exposing business processes outside the organisation - by implementing a digital strategy – a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, operating model, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour through the delivery of digital solutions defined in a digital architecture – a future state application, data and technology view to achieve digital operating status - is potentially (very) complex.
Digital architecture does not exist in isolation entirely separate from an organisation’s overall enterprise architecture. Digital architecture must exist within the within the wider enterprise architecture context.
Enterprise architecture provides the tools and the approaches to manage the complexity of digital transformation.
The management function that drives digital transformation needs to involve the enterprise architecture function in the design and implementation of digital strategy and organisation, process and policies and the creation of a digital architecture. Management must appreciate the technology focus and the benefits of an enterprise architecture approach.
The early involvement of enterprise architecture increases successes and reduces failures. Management must trust and involve enterprise architecture. The enterprise architecture function must accept and rise to the challenge and deliver. The enterprise architecture function must allow its value to be measured.

These are my Slides for the ICT Strategy Session - Setting context and highlighting an approach delivering a ICT strategy rapidly.
This is the deck of a webinar that I presented at the OpenGroup. The focus of this webinar is on the challenge of using these standards in practice to build a strong architecture capability in organizations.
This presentation was made at the 2011 VC's Learning and Teaching Forum with collegue Javed Yusuf at the AUSAID Lecture Theatre, Laucala Campus, Suva, Fiji Islands on 23rd September on the topic Taking Communities of Practice to Moodle.
Enterprise architecture supporting decision making processDr. Fahim K Sufi
This slides presents how enterprise architecture can help the decision making process in an Organisation. Enterprise Architecture provides evidence based decision support capability.
It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution. In other words, doing things “right”. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities. In other words, doing the “right things” to support the business.
Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation? What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes? What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value?
In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture.
Learning Objectives:
• How to build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture (EA) to deliver positive outcomes for your organization
• Identify the different roles and functions of the PMO and EA as well as their similarities
Welcome to the new Enterprise Architecture Professional Journal! We serve practicing and aspiring enterprise architects, as well as those who apply the holistic perspective of enterprise architecture to other disciplines. EAPJ informs their daily work and benefits their careers with content that is focused, concise, authoritative, practical and accessible. In this column, we preview all articles and recommend introductory reading each piece that assumes specialized knowledge.
This issue focuses on how EA can empower organizations to achieve their goals. EA and quality expert Mike Novak compares the TOGAF® framework for enterprise architecture with the Baldrige approach to organizational performance assessment and improvement, and shows how organizations could benefit from integrating the two paradigms. This is a great article for all those who have wondered about the relationship between EA and quality practices, or would like to learn more about either paradigm. The article assumes a bit of familiarity with the TOGAF standard, so novices should consult one of the references at the end of this article.
This issue also features an interview with Mike Callahan, a senior partner in AgileLayer, a business architecture methodology, software and consulting provider. Mike Callahan introduces us to his area of expertise, and explains how business architects practice many of the approaches Mike Novak describes in his TOGAF/Baldrige article.
I’d like to thank our expert reviewers for this issue, Jeff Hensgen and Chris McCurdy. EAPJ needs additional seasoned professionals like them willing to willing to help develop and select the best articles.

Powering ASEAN's growth. A look at the trends that will impact the use of pow...Tim Hill
How our use of energy will change in the next five years.
Clashes in the South China Sea, rising fuel prices, nuclear disasters and choking smog levels have brought energy issues sharply into focus in the region. As the deadline for ASEAN’s Vision 2020 gets nearer, will the region transition to a unified economic group, connected by power, gas and water networks, working together to promote energy efficiency?
Ipsos Business Consulting believes the future will involve a more complex array of energy options, but not necessarily a unified ASEAN program. In a whitepaper on this topic, author Tim Hill has outlined the energy trends that will shape the region. New technologies and practices will emerge in the latter part of this decade which will change the way the region extracts, produces, distributes and consumes energy. Hill hopes that some of these trends will enable ASEAN’s economies to grow without further damage to the environment.
From national grids to micro-grids and off-grid power
160M people in ASEAN (about 28% of the region) have no electricity. Getting full access to all through extending the grid will prove challenging and expensive. Micro-grids, such as the one operating as a test centre in Pulau Ubin will help to bridge this gap. Smaller plants powered by hybrid fossil and renewable sources will help to bring electricity to rural communities in Southeast Asia that previously have had to rely on generators. Remote areas will benefit from advances in technology with solar power and battery storage that will create enough electricity for lighting and other low level devices. In the cities more households will take on individual solar panels to reduce their electricity bills.
Electric vehicles
Other parts of the world are using electric cars and buses, and Singapore is looking at options in this space. SMRT added 600 Toyota Prius hybrid cars to its fleet at the end of last year and there are experiments with fully electric cars. Charging stations are starting to appear in select parts of Singapore.
Electric two wheelers are going to experience a tenfold increase during the course of this decade. Electric bikes are likely to replace petrol motorbikes and scooters throughout the region which will help to manage smog levels as urban populations grow.
Other types of electric personal transport such as Segways, scooters, skateboards etc are starting to pop up in our parks. These will become more mainstream forms of transport for short commutes during the rest of the decade. Governments in the region have been slow to recognise the advantages of electric two wheelers, seeing it as something that needs to be regulated and kept off the roads and off the walkways. This will change as the advantages of low cost, low speed vehicles become more mainstream

O futuro de TI passa por compreender a transformação digital dos negócios e qual papel ela deve se desempenhar neste novo cenário cada vez mais próximo. A resposta para esta transformação passa pela Arquitetura Corporativa (EA).
Many organizations engage in initiatives to develop elaborate reference architectures, patterns and governance processes in an attempt to optimize their enterprise. They put significant effort into the upfront guidance of development teams, and then find themselves challenged to understand how closely an architecture matches the approved approach after the projects complete. Organizations must take a new approach to this problem!
Recent Gartner and Capgemini studies predict only around 25% of data science projects are successful and only around 15% make it to full-scale production. Of these, many degrade in performance and produce disappointing results within months of implementation. How can focusing on the desired business outcomes and business use cases throughout a data science project help overcome the odds?

The attached slides are from my 1-hour workshop held at the BCS Enterprise Architecture Specialist Group 2nd Annual Conference - 26th June 2018
As this was an interactive workshop, the slides were presented to provide 'context' to stimulating debate, so some of the essence of content may be lost e.g the debate around funding – but sharing to the community.
Togaf is a high level and holistic approach to design, which is typically modeled at four levels: business, application, data, and
technology. It tries to give a well-tested overall starting model to information architects, which can then be built upon. It relies heavily
on modularization, standardization, and already existing, proven technologies and products.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
6. • What if a new piece of legislation is imposed by a Local, Central or
International body with which the organisation must comply
One such piece of legislation that is coming in 2018 is the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR)
• Full text of GDPR can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-
protection/reform/files/regulation_oj_en.pdf )
• “Do nothing” is not an option as GDPR significantly raises the stakes
in terms of compliance, with maximum penalties of 4% annual global
turnover or up to 20m Euros (whichever is higher).
• How do we insure that we are compliant using an Enterprise
Architectural Approach to the problem ?

17. Principles
• Business
• This criteria element relates to
the promotion of enterprise wide
principles around the domain of
business processing, especially
business process modelling and
service design.
• Application
• Principles relating to the design,
build and deployment of
applications
• Information
• Principles linked with the
production, cleansing and
publishing of information
• Data
• Principles associated with data
design, usage, persistence etc.
• Infrastructure
• Principles associated with
selection, deployment,
management of the infrastructure
(data Centres, Servers storage,
network etc)
• Foundation Services.
• Foundation services relate to DR,
Security, Incident management
etc i.e. services that are core to
all of the above
Practices
• Business Operations
• Here Enterprise Architects should
be concerned with the practices
associated with capturing,
modelling and digitally executing
the business operations.
• Application Design
• I.e. delivery of designs of. Whilst,
practices adopted may based on
a specific methodology or
approach, the real question ‘ how
efficiently have we adopted the
practices of the approach and are
we meeting the business
demands based on this adoption
?’
• Application Build
• The maturity of the build of
applications both internal and
externally developed applications
should encapsulate test of
software unit, components etc
prior to build
• Governance
• Architectural Governance and the
teeth i.e. power of associated with
the various boards.
• Service Delivery
• The maturity of the practices i.e.
what actually happens during the
deployment, management of
systems on the technology
landscape.
• Support
• Whilst this is close to Service
Delivery it must be noted that we
should rank how effectively the
EA team deliver the support of its
artefacts
Process
• Business
• The engagement of the Enterprise
Architecture functions with the
Business Process Modelling and
Design functions and any
alignment activities.
• STP
• EA should facilitate a move
towards Straight Through
processing i.e. reducing the
number of digital and manual
process hand offs between
processes.
• Information
• The Information Architecture and
the associated process to capture,
manage and publish EA
information.
• Orchestration
• This relates to the processes
associated with orchestrating
business and technology services
• Production Acceptance
• The maturity of the processes
associated with deployment,
management of systems accepted
into the production environment.
• Documentation
• The maturity of document
production , publication and
promotion by the Enterprise
Architecture function
• 3rd Party Engagement
• How effectively does EA engage
with 3rd parties to maximise the
benefits to the organisation e.g.
cost reductions, savings etc
• Contribution to the Enterprise
• What is the general perception of
EA processes e.g. Governance
contributing real value to the
organisation from system users to
senior management?
Patterns
• Publications
• Does the organisation have a
patterns catalogue? How mature
is the organising in publishing it
patterns, do these publications
adopt standards for syntax,
notations etc
• Promotion
• How are patterns promoted
through the organisation, are they
rendered via an intranet? Or are
they in a document library
somewhere?
• Development
• How patterns are developed – are
they text book extracts or are
they developed with the various
technical communities?
• Usage
• Do the technical Communities use
these patterns to provide
efficiency gains to the
organisation?
• Application
• Application patterns are to be
found publically available and
thus should be exploited – do
your organisational developers for
example exploit published
patterns when constructing
applications.
• Infrastructure
• As with Applications above – Do
your Service delivery personal for
example use standard patterns
for system configurations
deployed into production.
• Security
• Security patterns are emerging as
a key in distributed systems – are
these in use ?, does the technical
community know of the existence
• Re-Use
• How often are patterns re-used if
at all and do we as an
organisation promote reuse.
Portfolio
Management
• Services
• Most Organisations have their
own definition of a Services the
EAM measure assumes a service
as a function that is well-defined,
self-contained, and does not
depend on the context or state of
other services. A service can be
either a business or technical
object.
• Application
• The portfolio of applications in an
Organisation can be a mix of
either bespoke or Commercial Off
the Shelf (COTS) either way the
life cycle should be managed in a
single unified location.
• Middleware
• Middleware could refer to
Enterprise Service Buses,
Messaging or even request
brokers – these should be
managed and in most cases the
interfaces to these systems.
• Storage
• Information and data object
persistence should be monitored
and managed, i.e. not be the
physical devices e.g. the NAS or
SANs etc.
• Servers
• The portfolio management of the
Physical Servers both in the
production and test
environments.
• Other Infrastructure
• Maturity of the portfolio
management of the Physical
devices e.g. network Switches,
laptops, etc.
• Techniques
• The techniques adopted to create,
capture and manage the
information required to measure
the level of maturity in the
management of the ‘artefact’
portfolio.
Products of Enterprise Architecture
21. Roles & Responsibility (EA)
• Strategic input into the technology roadmaps of the organisation –
shape, form and stabilise
• Influence decision makers on technology investment – current & future
• Provide systems consultancy, guidance and assurance to large
programmes
• Review and assure Solution Designs produced both internally and by 3rd
party suppliers
• Ensure that governance mechanisms such as review boards, principles
etc. are maintained and supported
• Police the standards through Project and Programme engagement
• Represent the organisation with 3rd parties, for example Systems
Integrators and Standards Bodies
• Understand the impact of the introduction of new technology into the
technology landscape of the organisation.
Enterprise Architects maintain the organisational abstract view, with a primary
objective to ensure that the technology landscape is aligned to the strategic,
operational and tactical goals of the organisation.
22. Roles & Responsibility (SA&TA)
Solution Architects work with/in Projects and
Programmes to provide systems consultancy services,
impact assessments, end-to-end designs, cost models..
Solution Architects work within the Projects and
Programmes to deliver the following architectural
services:
• Manage the ‘cradle to grave’ – from conception
through to delivery into production of solution
architectures
• Design both the physical and logical components of
solution architectures that will deliver a positive
business outcome
• Work with Project Managers to provide provisional
costs for the components of the architecture
• Technical Analysis and Design capabilities
• Business and technical requirements capture, when
required
• Facilitate design workshops
• Validate designs / costs produced by 3rd parties
wishing to sell systems to the organisation.
Technical Architects deliver the lower level of technical
design, based on high-level component solution
designs and costs provided by the Solution Architects.
Technical Architect work with projects and the BAU
organisation to provide some of the following :
•Delivering technical designs and standards and the
associated approvals from the formal governance
channels.
•Understanding the technology estate and the
encapsulated technology components of the
organisation
•Providing technical recommendations and options
based on solution designs which can cost-effectively be
realised in the production environment
•Mitigating any technical risks that could occur through
the introduction of new technology into the landscape
of the organisation
•Providing input into the appropriate innovation
funnels for the analysis of new technology
•Keeping abreast of technology trends, attending
industry events to ensure product roadmaps are
understood by the Solution and Enterprise Architects.
•Ensuring that production acceptance for projects is
delivered and managed.
23. • Enterprise Architects maintain a macro
abstract organisational view, together
with the understanding of the key
business drivers and potential drivers for
change and the effect that these drivers
may have on the technology landscape of
the organisation.
• Solution Architects maintain a macro
project view and deliver an end-to-end
architecture in which they outline the
key components (physical and logical)
necessary to design a solution that meets
requirements.
• Technical Architects maintain a micro
view of the technical components that
will be deployed to realise the solution
design and often act as the true
‘guardians’ of the technology estate.
Architectural Mindset
24. Final Note
• Enterprise Architecture is delivered in the context of the
Organisation – true value can not be realised by simply
following a single ‘Cook Book’ or Framework approach.
• Architectural Realization is a way of thinking and not a
concrete technological implementation. It is however,
supported by frameworks, patterns & best practices that
complement the mindset.
• As an Enterprise Architect you must be aware of both the
technology landscape of your organisation and external
factors that can impact the landscape

Discuss the Architectural Stack and the areas it covers
Use a Simple Example of an impending Law which will modify some elements of the Stack
Discuss Some of the Products that are produced to Control, Inform and Direct the ICT Function to ensure it aligns with Business Goals
We will Discuss the Role/Responsibility of the Enterprise Architect
Then we will take questions
GDPR will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive and, in the UK, the Data Protection Act 1998.
There is no requirement to notify authorities of data processing but a requirement to keep records of data processing activities (subject to limited exceptions for SMEs).
There is a requirement to appoint a data protection officer (DPO) where an organisation’s core business involves processing personal data involving regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects or large amounts of sensitive personal data.
