A presentation from Enterprise Data World (DAMA) on how to measure the value of your architecture.

1. How Do You Know Your Architecture Plans are Meeting Business Needs? Techniques and Guidance William A. Wimsatt, Wells Landers Group

5. IT Paradox More Capacity More Capability Find Cost Reductions Find Efficiencies Find Opportunities Find Why? Cost Reductions Martin Curley, Intel Corp. Help Enable Growth Positive Growth Help Improve Margins Flat Growth Help Reduce Costs Negative Growth IT Budget Revenue Demand for IT Services

6. Architecture Viewpoint (Design) Enterprise Architecture identifies corporate systems, their key properties, and their interrelationships, and plans for and guides the evolution of the enterprise systems to support and enable the evolution of the enterprise in its pursuit of strategic advantage.

7. The Integrated Enterprise

17. Business Alignment Model

18. Business Decision Axes Business Value IT Efficiency Financial Attractiveness How well the investment will use or enhance the existing infrastructure (Y Axis) The corporate impact of an investment on business strategy and priorities. (X Axis) The financial aspects of the investment including level of investment required, cost/benefit ratio, and net present value. (Z Axis)

20. Scope Integrate across sources of record Business Process System Policy FDE Process Application Entity B/F/S/T Requirement Organization Table Component Node Objective Data Flow Role Location Project Architecture PPM Project Portfolio & Analysis

23. Business Viewpoint (Decide/Inform)

24. Data Dimension

26. Data Quality redux GiGo: garbage in, garbage out ‘ Cos it’s in the computer, don’t mean it’s right It’s not the things you don’t know that matter, it’s the things you know that aren’t so. Will Rogers, Famous Okie GI specialist “ But there are also unknown unknowns: the ones we don't know we don't know.” Donald Rumsfeld “ Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” Wyatt Earp

27. Metrics for Quality End User Data – Building Blocks Difficult to Measure Complete Valid Accurate Quality of Data Correct CORRECT - The fields are complete, valid, accurate data, and correct for that transaction (e.g. BT does not enter their own name and address when they intend to resell the equipment) ACCURATE - The fields do not contradict (e.g. the city is not Moscow and the country UK or the Company is BT but the address is the end user’s) VALID -The fields are filled with valid entries (e.g. address line 1 does not contain “TBD” or the company name is not “Unknown”) COMPLETE - The required fields are filled with data At What cost or value to the business? (another axis?)

28. Data Principles at a glance Single Source Of Truth Data is an asset Data is accessible Data Privacy Data Security Data Definitions & Common Vocabulary Data Trustee Data Quality Data Steward

30. Systems Dimension

31. Systems Model

33. System Application Analysis

36. Process Dimension

37. Business Process Models

38. Measure & Analyze

39. Determining the Intangibles Tools such as Survey Questionnaires, and pair comparisons are used to capture non deterministic values of areas such as risk, and efficiency

40. Determining the Intangibles The IT Portfolio is composed of the Application Portfolio and the Project Portfolio. Each can be developed separately and then analyzed as a whole to assure the best enterprise fit.

44. Do We Have Alignment? Objectives? Processes? Strategies? Value? IT Projects? Application Portfolio? Technical Infrastructure IT Costs? Business IT … does business mean? … does IT mean? Business Unit Viewpoint? Finance Viewpoint? CED Viewpoint?
