During last few years, role of Enterprise Architecture has expanded from technical to strategic in an Organization. This slide deck presents: Using Enterprise Architecture in your Organization.
Your Challenge:
At every organization, every day, employees at various levels make decisions on how IT is used in building, transforming, and operating the enterprise.
These decisions affect enterprise performance, both short and long term.
Our Advice:
Critical Insight
IT policies assign authority and accountability for making key IT decisions and outline mandatory process steps, but don’t say what should guide the decision-making process.
Naturally, employees in different departments and at different levels have different, often competing priorities.
Moreover, employees tend to make decisions leaning on their own assumptions as to how IT should be used by the organization. IT decisions, guided by foundational beliefs that differ, lack cohesiveness in achieving enterprise goals and require an increased IT governance effort to achieve policy compliance and realize desired business outcomes.
Impact and Result
EA principles succinctly communicate the organization’s intent as to the use of IT in building, transforming, and operating the enterprise and provide a foundation of shared beliefs that guide IT decision making across the organization.
EA principles represent a key component of IT governance and should guide the development of domain-specific policies (e.g. security policy, procurement policy) that elaborate on particular implications of principles in specific process areas.
This examines the potential for the application of Design Science principles to the solution design process within solution architecture to improve the rigour and accuracy of solution designs.
Design Science is the structured and systematic process for creating designs that resolve problems. It is concerned with the structured process for the acquisition and application of knowledge in relation to the problems to the resolved and the solution knowledge to be applied.
The application of Design Science must be a means to an end – better solution quality – and not an end in itself – an incentive for the design function is to become large.
Solution architecture requires a (changing) combination of technical, leadership, interpersonal skills, experience, analysis, appropriate creativity, reflection and intuition applied in a structured manner.
Knowledge management – problem knowledge and solution knowledge – is at the core of the application of design science principles.
Knowledge management requires good management of the solution architecture function.
How to develop and govern a Technology Strategy in 10 weeksLeo Barella
This presentation covers the organizational layout, EA Services and EA Governance processes necessary to develop and govern a technology strategy effectively.
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.
Delivered at February 2011 Open Group San Diego Conference
Main points covered:
- the case for adopting a model -driven approach: the drivers & benefits of integrating security into EA models;
- the techniques / design patterns for expressing security within ArchiMate's notational & grammar constraints;
- a short demonstration of how these models can be used in practice
Presenter:
Steven is an independent consultant with 25+ years in IT. Based in Brussels, where he has undertaken major assignments for clients in the public sector, agencies, finance, telecoms and utilities and also lends his support to local cyber-security initiatives. Much of his work in recent years has been in the field of developing tools, processes and models to support security analysis.
Steven holds numerous security, architecture and privacy certifications including SABSA Chartered Practitioner and ArchiMate 3.0.

Modeling Big Data with the ArchiMate 3.0 LanguageIver Band
Health care enterprises use big data methods and technologies to gain insights for improving the efficacy, efficiency, and accessibility of their services. Effective big data initiatives require shared understanding among diverse stakeholders of business challenges and the often complex architectures required to address them. Enterprise and solution architects can use the ArchiMate language to build this understanding with compelling visual models.
This presentation introduces the ArchiMate 3.0 language, and uses it to explore the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Big Data Reference Architecture (NBDRA), and to present a health care case study based on the NBDRA. Participants will learn how to use the ArchiMate 3.0 language, in alignment with the TOGAF framework, to propose, justify and plan big data initiatives, and to guide their successful implementation.
cloud computing is a processing that includes a huge number of computer systems linked through a interaction system such as the Internet, similar to application processing.In technology, reasoning processing is a replacements for allocated processing over a system, and means the ability to run a program or application on many linked computer systems at the same time.
Network-based services, which appear to be offered by actual server components and are in fact offered up by exclusive components simulated by software running on one or more actual devices, are often called reasoning processing. Such exclusive web servers do not actually are available and can therefore be shifted around and scaly up or down on the fly without impacting the end user, somewhat like a reasoning becoming bigger or more compact without being a physical item.

Are You an Accidental or Intentional Architect?iasaglobal
The first step in preparing for capability on demand is to set up for capacity on demand, but this can only occur after a CIO gets the IT house in order operationally. An IT organization that cannot manage operations effectively because it lacks understanding of costs relating to business performance and outcomes will have trouble evaluating the price-for-performance trade-offs offered by external suppliers.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Agenda
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. • 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
9. – Our Business
o We are a Swiss owned multi-national engine manufacturing company with plants in the US,
Europe, China and the Middle East.
o Market entry into our core has high barriers to entry, however due to economies of scale and
strong localised brand we remain competitive
o We are asset rich, cash flow is affected by currency volatility.
o We have a flat management structure in Middle East and China.
o We have a large retail / distribution / sales(parts) network
o We have a wide range of sales channels – Call Centres in Malaysia, India and Poland.
o We have several contracts with the Large Integrators and providers
o TCO of our Technology is 20% above the industry Average
– Our Technology
• We operate a multitude of MES systems in the regions
• We have centralised on ERP systems
• In US and Europe our systems are Mainframe based System.
• We have a global interconnected MPLS network
• We currently host all of our own systems
• System Lifecycle is in years not months
– Our People
• Ageing IT Population Based in Europe / US
• Outsourced Application Maintenance to Off shore (India/Malaysian) companies
• Systems Poorly Documented
• Skilled workforce in China / Middle East.
– Our Architectural Community
• Geographically Dispersed Culturally diverse Community
• No reference Architectures per domain
• Solution Architects / Projects / technical Community Have the power
• Agile methods adopted in Europe / China / US
Setting the Scene
10. The Issue…
The EA Team have set a direction for a new Oracle ERP (Linux) System across the
globe which will be funded by the individual regions, if everyone is in agreement.
The non European Businesses feel that this cost will impact their trading figures for
years and have asked the Solution Architects to propose an alternative , who have
proposed an upgrade to the existing SAP Mainframe / Windows Systems
The Technical Architects have proposed a tactical switch i.e. moving the SAP
Systems off host onto a Linux Platform as they feel the platform is more superior .
The Business Stakeholder wants to do nothing and ‘sweat the assets’
However a member of the Swiss Board has an associate who has offered to
outsource everything (Platform as a Service) to China and manage everything up
to the O/S except the applications, connections, security and operations.
12. We will now Break into 4 Groups. These are ;
Architectural Review Board
Enterprise Architect
Solution Architect
Technical Architect
We will also have a
Business Stakeholder (nominated individual)
The Task…
Each Group will spend 10 mins to decide on key points (from their viewpoint) that
they wish to address with the other groups ( strengths / weaknesses) and then
bring these to the ARB.
The ARB Group will spend the 10 mins to consider the ‘criteria for evaluation’
All parties will present to the ARB. At the end of the presentation – we will
discuss/evaluate the role that a EA must play in his/her daily life to ensure that
certain situations are avoided …(Political, Technical , Funding)
