The document discusses the importance of digital architecture in enabling successful digital transformation. It defines digital architecture as the design of digital solutions through applying and integrating digital technologies to transform companies and deliver value to customers. A well-designed digital architecture guides an enterprise's gradual development of digital solutions that empower customer experiences, integrations, and insights. It also links an enterprise's digital strategy to execution by aligning business and technology capabilities. The document provides a framework for digital architecture and highlights characteristics like customer centricity, collaborative design, and an evolutionary approach that allows for an integrated roadmap and agility.
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
An Introduction into the design of business using business architectureCraig Martin
Business Architecture is gaining interest from many non-traditional architecture stakeholders across the enterprise however most remain unclear of its scope and application. This webinar was presented through the Open Group as lead up to the London 2013 Conference on business transformation. It provides an overview of the language, methods and techniques of developing a business architecture and assist architects to demonstrate its relevance to business leaders. It also provides an insight into the method and techniques taught in the "Discovering Business Architecture" course run by Enterprise Architects.
Digital strategy is a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour to achieve a direction for innovation, communication, transaction and promotion.
This describes facets of exploring the options for digital to ensure that the resulting strategy is realistic, achievable and will deliver a return.
Enterprise Architecture needs to be involved in the development of digital architecture. Digital architecture needs to be at the core of the organisation’s wider Enterprise Architecture.
Technology generally accelerates existing business momentum rather than being the originator of momentum. Digital is not a panacea. Digital interactions with third parties gives rise to expectations
Digital will make weaknesses in business processes and underlying technology very evident very quickly. Iterate through digital initiatives, starting small and focussed, learning from experience.

Digital Transformation And Solution ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
Digital strategy is a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour to achieve a direction for innovation, communication, transaction and promotion. Digital strategy needs to be defined in the same framework structure as the proposed digital architecture platform.
Achieving the target digital organisation means deploying solutions that enable the digital architecture. Solution architecture needs to design solutions that fit into the target digital architecture framework. This requires:
• Solution architecture team operating in an integrated manner designing solutions to a set of common standards and that run on the platform
• Solution architecture team leadership ensuring solutions conform to the common standards
• Solution architecture technical leadership to develop and maintain common solution design standards
• Solution architecture updates the digital reference architecture based on solution design experience
Digital solution design requires greater discipline to create an integrated set solutions that operate within the rigour of the digital architecture framework. The solution architecture function must interact with other IT architecture disciplines to ensure the set of solutions that implement the digital framework operate together. This requires greater solution architecture team leadership. This needs to be supplemented and supported by a well-defined set of digital solution design standards.

Digital Transformation is a systematic approach to your business that applies digital thinking across everything you do, from the front office to the back office. It’s what we refer to as “The New Business of Digital.” The quote you see summarizes that thought well.
This is an important distinction because not only is there a direct, tangible improvement to the specific area that you change through digital technology and digital thinking—for example, replacing hard-copy documents with electronic documents—but there is a significant value-add as well.
Through Digital Transformation, your processes are:
Optimized through intelligent information capture
Streamlined by removing time-consuming steps
Replaced with a new, simpler way of doing things

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.
Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...Craig Martin
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.
Digital technology is everywhere. As a consequence, companies need fully embrace the digital transformation. To succeed, it is no longer sufficient to optimize front offices and increase customer experience by using digital. Instead, companies need a solid enterprise-wide transformation to reap the full potential of digital. We team up with clients to explore and define a digital strategy and road map to this end, thereby also creating a kick starter for change.

Overview of Data and Analytics Essentials and FoundationsNUS-ISS
As companies increasingly integrate data across functions, the boundaries between marketing, sales and operations have been blurring. This allows them to find new opportunities that arise by aligning and integrating the activities of supply and demand to improve commercial effectiveness. Instead of conducting post-hoc analyses that allow them to correct future actions, companies generate and analyze data in near real-time and adjust their operations processes dynamically. Transitioning from static analytics outputs to more dynamic contextualized insights means analytics can be delivered with increased relevance closer to the point of decision.
This talk will cover the analytics journey from descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics to derive actionable and timely insights to improve customer experience to drive marketing, salesforce and operations excellence.
With the use of Predictive Analytics, companies are able to predict future trends based on existing available data. The actionable business predictions can help companies achieve cost savings, higher revenue, better resource allocation and efficiency. Predictive analytics has been used in various sectors such as banking & finance, sales & marketing, logistics, retail, healthcare, F&B, etc. for various purposes.
Get set to learn more about the different stages of predictive analytics modelling such as data collection & preparation, model development & evaluation metrics, and model deployment considerations will be discussed.
In this digital transformation era, we have seen the rise of digital platforms and increased usages of devices particularly in the area of wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT). Given the fast pace change to the IoT landscape and devices, data has become one of the important source of truth for analytics and continuous streaming of data from sensors have also emerged as one of the fuel that revolutionise the emergence of IoT. These includes health telematics, vehicle telematics, predictive maintenance of equipment, manufacturing quality management, consumer behaviour, and more. With this, we will give you an introduction on how to leverage the power of data science and machine learning to understand and explore feature engineering of IoT and sensor data.

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Why are some Internet retailers able to make crucial changes to their ecommerce
websites in hours while it takes brick-and-mortar retailers three months or more to
do the same?
How come just a few car manufacturers can rapidly make online updates to their
products in the field, be they to their infotainment systems or to fuel and engine
performance—a practice that is becoming crucial in a world of servitization,
where manufactured products come with digital services attached to them?
And how is the new wave of cloud-based enterprise software vendors able to
make software updates to their products in days or weeks, rather than the months it
takes traditional enterprise software vendors to do so?
In this Digital Age…

4. Architecture Practices of the Past and
Current?
4
1. In designing business operations companies develop technology and methodology that
support inward-looking view
2. No acute need to continually infuse new Technology-enabled business capabilities
into operations
3. Tightly coupled business applications - ERP, SCM, PLM and CRM- change in one part
of application impact many other parts
4. IT integration platform – heavyweight Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), most business
logic was written into the bus
5. IT Infrastructure Services – centrally managed by an independent team. After the
developers and code testers were through with their tasks, they threw it over the wall to
production, whose complex test and handover process could delay the delivery of a new
system to the market for weeks or months.
6. Information and Communications Technology – was costly to implement and thus it
had to be deployed carefully as a costly (but necessary) expense that had to be
minimized. This is a key reason for the intense pressure to consolidate, outsource and
offshore IT to drive costs down.

How are companies able to compete against Digital Natives like
Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify and PayPal which began life on the
Internet and have rapidly gained share in sectors ranging from
retail and entertainment to banking and transportation.
Unburdened of having to connect their new digital systems to aging
technologies, today’s digital natives can build greenfield digital
business processes unconstrained from prior work, in online
marketing, sales, distribution, and other areas. That is a key reason
why they’re thriving in this era of digitalization, product servitization,
and dramatically reduced software release cycles—all at a time in
which those three trends thwart the incumbents.
In this Digital Age…

10. Defining Digital Architecture
10
• Digital Architecture is the design of Digital Solutions through the
application and integration of Digital Technologies to enable the Digital
Transformation of the company and deliver value to the customers.
• The real essence of digital architecture lies in the way it approaches to
problems; it redefines the solutions design process and shifts the focus
from the problem to the customer experience.
• In addition, a well-thought-out digital architecture guides an enterprise’s
gradual maturation in delivering digital solutions that empower
customer experiences, integrations, and insights

Business Architecture
• Business Architecture is the design of
• product and/or service strategy and the
• organizational, functional, process,
• information and geographic aspects
of the business environment
that the enterprise must deploy and practice in order to
satisfy its customers, compete in the market, partner with
suppliers, care for its employees and meet regulatory
requirements
• Defining the business capabilities to enable the
organisation’s Digital Transformation
• Forms the foundation for Digital Architecture (i.e. it
is the high level requirement for the AA, DA, TA)
• Essential as part of the digital transformation

18. Data-driven Organisation
18
“ A data-driven organisation is one in
which critical business data automatically
drives the decisions and actions of your
business.”
Currently…
Executives make a decision then find data
to support it
Reliance on “gut feel”
Should be…
Data tells you not only that a decision
needs to be made, but also often tells you
what that decision should be.

19. Application Architecture
• Application Architecture defines the
major kinds of applications needed to
support the business capabilities of the
Digital Enterprise
• Applications here are logical groups of
capabilities that support the business
capabilities in the Business Architecture
• Addresses the following concerns
– Digital-ready application portfolios
– Building engagement layers to
shield customers from internal
complexities and to hide non-user
friendly interfaces
– Meeting the business capabilities
needs and goals
– Open and Agile architectures
– Modernising, wrapping and
extending legacy architectures
19#ISSLearningFest
20. Application Agility
• In the Digital Age, it becomes critical to
adapt your applications so they
address the continuously evolving
needs of the business
• Applications architectures are adapted
to enable them to scale up and down
according to customer demand. Their
deployment is also automated to
enable faster release of new
functionality
• To enable the delivery of new
functionality quickly, three elements
should be combined:
– Cloud Computing
– Agile Development Methods
– DevOps Automation
20#ISSLearningFest
21. • Cloud First refers to software solutions designed
specifically to utilize modern cloud computing
functionality
• These solutions leverage modern cloud hosting
providers (Azure, Amazon, and Google) to
maximize investment
• A cloud first service or application was not
updated and migrated to the cloud. Instead, the
design of the application is from scratch i.e.
Cloud Native
• Cloud first applications and services are better
performing and in many cases more stable than
traditional application models.

Technology Architecture - Cloud First
Strategy
#ISSLearningFest
22. • A hybrid IT strategy is where neither 100% cloud
or 100% physical infrastructure is used
• There is a mix of cloud services and in-house
services being used within the IT environment
• Hybrid IT strategy allows businesses to maintain a
centralised approach whilst also utilising the
benefits of cloud such as its scalability,
performance and a generally reduced price
• Driven by factors like:
• A need to maintain control of data
• The cost-effectiveness of cloud components
(e.g. Software-as-a-Service, Storage-as-a-
Service)
• A desire to respond rapidly to changing
business needs and priorities.
