THE COUCHBASE
ARCHITECTURAL ADVANTAGE
NoSQL database architected to remove enterprise pain
Develop with
agility
Manage
with ease
Perform at
any scale
“Couchbase is really the backbone
for everything. Wherever there’s a
piece of data, we try and fit it into
one of the resources they provide.”
Dylan Wilson | Manager of Data Sciences
Becton, Dickinson & Co. (BD)

Couchbase’s NoEQUAL Architectural Differentiation

What We’ll Cover Today
4
• Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key
interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more.
• By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships,
particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization.
• This webinar will discuss how data architecture is a key component of an overall enterprise
architecture for enhanced business value and success.

Enterprise Architecture - Definition
• Enterprise architecture (EA) is a discipline for proactively
and holistically leading enterprise responses to
disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the
execution of change toward desired business vision and
outcomes.
• …by presenting business and IT leaders with signature-
ready recommendations for adjusting policies and
projects to achieve target business outcomes that
capitalize on relevant business disruptions.
• EA is used to steer decision making toward the evolution
of the future state architecture.1

Enterprise Architecture – Definition for Data Architects
• Just as you need to model the data in an
organization, you need to model the organization
itself:
• Motivations & Goals
• Business Capabilities
• Business Processes
• As well as the related technologies that support
the organization
• Applications
• Data
• Networks
• Etc.
7
Modeling is important on many levels

Frameworks for Enterprise Architecture
• The Zachman Framework organizes
data into the simple categories of:
• What
• How
• Where
• Who
• When
• Why?
• Data fits nicely within the “What”
column.
8
Zachman Framework
https://www.zachman.com

Frameworks for Enterprise Architecture
• The TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) developed by the OpenGroup is a step-by-
step approach to developing an enterprise architecture.
• It provides a detailed framework for building an architecture around Business, Data, Application &
Technology.
9
TOGAF EA Framework

Data Modeling for Enterprise Architecture
• Enterprise Architecture provides a high-level view of the people, processes, applications, and
data of an organization
• Putting data in business context
• How does data link to the rest of my organization?
• If I change data, what business processes are affected?

where possible

Use Case Model
• The Use Case Model
• Categorizes existing demand
worldwide
• Provides a “heat map” of
usage patterns
• Particularly important for large,
geographically distributed
teams & departments.

International Pharmaceutical Company
• An international Pharmaceutical company was looking
to make better use of its data to streamline its:
• Clinical Development
• Commercial Processes
• R&D.
• Business alignment was a key first step
• Greater understanding how data was used by and
critical to key business activities
• Created “blueprints” of how the business runs—then
how data maps to that”
• Data models, Process models, & mappings
• Identified opportunities for business efficiencies
14
Business Alignment and IT Strategy
1 Clearly Define & Promote Services
Architecture a stage gate for
every project – Data, Process
models & mapping
2 Align with Business Needs & Capabilities
3 Integrate into Project Governance

Roles & Culture: Pharmaceutical Company
• Business Acceptance: Clinical Scientists
had data models on their office walls
• “Blueprints” describing their clinical
development
15
• Architecture team had clear direction
• “Who we are and what we do” clearly articulated to the
business
• Best Practices made processes more efficient
• Governance driving architecture as a “must-have” for each
new initiative.

Data Models are a Key Part of Data Governance
16
Data Models are critical to data governance at the conceptual, logical, and physical levels.

Conceptual Data Model
• Communication & definition of core data concepts & their definitions
• A conceptual data model
provides core definitions of
key data objects.
• It also shows key
relationships between data
objects.
• Even a simple diagram as the
one on the right can tell a
powerful “story”
…. And uncover key business
issues and opportunities.

• A logical data model describes
key business rules and
definitions.
• Attributes are typically shown.
• Cardinality specifies additional
detail regarding relationships.
…. The Logical Model defines
additional detail regarding data
entities, attributes, and their
relationships.

Business Capability Models
• A business capability model outlines the core functional areas of the organization.
• Note: this is not the same as an organizational chart
• Capabilities can be overlaid with key data domains to create a “heat map” of cross-functional data usage.

Aligning Organizational Capability to Data Governance
Organizational Capability, Organizational Structure, and Roles are key to Data Governance and
Data-Centric Organizational Structures
20
Aligning to Organizational Capabilities
e.g. From Plan to Production to Sales & Distribution
Designing Org Structures for Data-Centric Efforts
e.g. Aligning Data Governance to Individual Culture

Data-Driven Merger for Financial Services
The combined information assets of both companies is one of our biggest strategic advantages.
- CEO
• A key driver for a recent merger of two large financial
institutions was the integration of data assets
• Streamlining the merger of the two organizations by integrating
the data assets
• Identify ways in which data can be used to strategic advantage
• Organizational Structure & Business Capability Alignment were
critical
• Understanding how data was used across the organization
• Identifying efficiencies & opportunities for collaboration
Business Capabilities
Company A
Business Capabilities
Company B
Common Data Foundation

Process / Workflow Models
• Process models are a helpful tool for
describing core business processes.
• “Swimlanes” outline organizational
considerations
• Data can be mapped to key business
processes to understand creation & usage
of information.
• They are particularly helpful for areas such
as Master Data Management (MDM)
where process is critical to data
stewardship & integration.
22
Identifying key data dependencies in core business processes

Customer Journey Map
• A customer journey map
outlines key phases of the
customer in their “journey”.
• They are similar to a process
model, but with a different
focus & perspective.
• Creating a data overlay is a
helpful way to see the key
data touched at each point
in the journey.
• Journey maps can be
created for other industries
as well, e.g. Student,
Patient, etc.

Create, Read, Update, Delete
• CRUD Matrices shows where data is Created, Read, Updated or Deleted across the various areas of the organization.
• They can be created by department, by system/application, etc.
• This can be a helpful tool in data governance & data quality.

Process Models & CRUD Fit Well Together
• Business Process Models describe key activities within the organization.
• Linking these processes to the data that is Created, Updated, or Deleted (CRUD) is important
to understanding data usage.
Customer Order Account Invoice Product
Receive Customer Order R C C, R
Process Customer Order C,R,U R,U R
Fill Order R,U R,U R,U

Linking Data with Process for Master Data Management
• An international restaurant chain realized through its digital strategy that:
• While menus are the core product that drives their business…
• They had little control or visibility over their menu data
• Menu data was scattered across multiple systems in the organization from supply chain to kitchen prep to marketing,
restaurant operations, etc.
• Menu data was consolidated & managed in a central hub:
• Master Data Management created a “single view of menu” for business efficiency & quality control
• Data Governance created the workflow & policies around managing menu data
• Process Models & Data Mappings were critical
• BPMN diagrams to identify the flow of information
• CRUD Matrixes to understand usage, stewardship & ownership

Data Platform Evolution
Data Technology & Platforms continue to evolve
• 81% are using relational databases on-premises
• 71% are using spreadsheets as a data platform (!)
• Future plans include a wide range of technologies:
• Cloud-based relational databases
• Graph databases
• NoSQL databases
• Big Data platforms
28
While relational databases remain the leading platform, new technologies are being added to the mix.

Current Platform Adoption
• Relational Database still dominate the data
management landscape
• Majority is on-premises
• Some Cloud Adoption
• Spreadsheets still ubiquitous, partly due to
ease of use and increased interest in data
from business users.
29
Relational database still dominate the market, both on premises and Cloud-based

Future Platform Adoption
• Future Plans still include a high percentage
of relational databases, with a higher
percentage of Cloud-based systems.
• A wider distribution of platform usage
indicates the variety of options and fit-for-
purpose solution – one size doesn’t fit all.
30
Future plans still feature relational databases, with a higher focus on Cloud Adoption, and a wider mix of technologies.

System Architecture Diagram
• High-level system architecture diagrams can create a “big picture” of how systems and their
components fit together.

organization to maximize business value
• While the number and diversity of platforms is
increasing it is important to:
• Focus on the business need and application
• Design fit-for-purpose solutions using a number
of interrelated technologies
