At EA Connect Days 2018, Florian Masjosthusmann und Manuel Männle from itelligence tried to solve the follwing questions: How can you adapt your business from where it is today to where it needs to be tomorrow? How can you document a SAP centric IT-Landscape with LeanIX? How will your IT landscape evolve to meet the demands of the digital transformation with SAP? Based on LeanIX they developed a concept to describe your SAP centric IT-Landscape and Business Architecture. On this basis, an overall strategy for S/4 HANA Transformation can be developed which is oriented on best practices and SAP Reference Architectures. The itelligence EA-Approach is to connect the SAP Best Practice E2E Views and the Capability Views with die IT-Solution Landscape.
Critical Review of Open Group IT4IT Reference ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
This reviews the Open Group’s IT4IT Reference Architecture (https://www.opengroup.org/it4it) with respect to other operational frameworks to determine its suitability and applicability to the IT operating function.
IT4IT is intended to be a reference architecture for the management of the IT function. It aims to take a value chain approach to create a model of the functions that IT performs and the services it provides to assist organisations in the identification of the activities that contribute to business competitiveness. It is intended to be an integrated framework for the management of IT that emphasises IT service lifecycles.
This paper reviews what is meant by a value-chain, with special reference to the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model (https://www.apics.org/apics-for-business/frameworks/scor). the most widely used and most comprehensive such model.
The SCOR model is part of wider set of operations reference models that describe a view of the critical elements in a value chain:
• Product Life Cycle Operations Reference model (PLCOR) - Manages the activities for product innovation and product and portfolio management
• Customer Chain Operations Reference model (CCOR) - Manages the customer interaction processes
• Design Chain Operations Reference model (DCOR) - Manages the product and service development processes
• Managing for Supply Chain Performance (M4SC) - Translates business strategies into supply chain execution plans and policies
It also compares the IT4IT Reference Architecture and its 32 functional components to other frameworks that purport to identify the critical capabilities of the IT function:
• IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) https://ivi.ie/critical-capabilities/ contains 37 critical capabilities
• Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) - http://www.sfia-online.org/ lists over 100 skills
• European e-Competence Framework (ECF) http://www.ecompetences.eu/ contains 40 competencies
• ITIL IT Service Management https://www.axelos.com/best-practice-solutions/itil
• COBIT 2019 https://www.isaca.org/resources/cobit has 40 management and control processes
Value analysis with Value Stream and Capability modelingCOMPETENSIS
The new Archimate 3.1 has improved the strategy layer with major modeling objects related to value analysis: value stream and capability.
These objects are linked and answer major questions :
- [VALUE STREAM] What value do we deliver to customers ? What value do we want to deliver to customers ? This is the enterprise business model.
- [CAPABILITY] What operational model do we need to deliver value ? The capability model describes the operational model required to deliver value to customers.
You cannot succeed to transform a business model, enterprise activities without considering Value Stream & Capability analysis. Technology considerations are necessary but not sufficient.
Feel free to contact if you wish to get more support with your transformation projet.
A well-designed IT Service Delivery Model is critical to achieving success in IT management and operations. Many IT organizations focus on optimizing their technology assets -- the infrastructure and applications. However, in our experience, business value is achieved most effectively when technology assets and the IT service delivery model are integrated and work together seamlessly.

Much has been written about technical and solution architectures, without due attention being given to how these work together with the Business Architecture.
It is easy to believe that those who are involved in business analysis, requirements definition and systems modelling do not need to consider the Business Architecture at all. This could not be further from the truth. This talk explains the rationale behind Business Architecture, what its main components are and why Business Analysts should ensure that they understand it and the influence it is likely to have on their work.

Review of Information Technology Function Critical Capability ModelsAlan McSweeney
IT Function critical capabilities are key areas where the IT function needs to maintain significant levels of competence, skill and experience and practise in order to operate and deliver a service. There are several different IT capability frameworks. The objective of these notes is to assess the suitability and applicability of these frameworks. These models can be used to identify what is important for your IT function based on your current and desired/necessary activity profile.
Capabilities vary across organisation – not all capabilities have the same importance for all organisations. These frameworks do not readily accommodate variability in the relative importance of capabilities.
The assessment approach taken is to identify a generalised set of capabilities needed across the span of IT function operations, from strategy to operations and delivery. This generic model is then be used to assess individual frameworks to determine their scope and coverage and to identify gaps.
The generic IT function capability model proposed here consists of five groups or domains of major capabilities that can be organised across the span of the IT function:
1. Information Technology Strategy, Management and Governance
2. Technology and Platforms Standards Development and Management
3. Technology and Solution Consulting and Delivery
4. Operational Run The Business/Business as Usual/Service Provision
5. Change The Business/Development and Introduction of New Services
In the context of trends and initiatives such as outsourcing, transition to cloud services and greater platform-based offerings, should the IT function develop and enhance its meta-capabilities – the management of the delivery of capabilities? Is capability identification and delivery management the most important capability? Outsourced service delivery in all its forms is not a fire-and-forget activity. You can outsource the provision of any service except the management of the supply of that service.
The following IT capability models have been evaluated:
• IT4IT Reference Architecture https://www.opengroup.org/it4it contains 32 functional components
• European e-Competence Framework (ECF) http://www.ecompetences.eu/ contains 40 competencies
• ITIL V4 https://www.axelos.com/best-practice-solutions/itil has 34 management practices

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.
Strategic Operating Model Defines How a Company Looks and Works. This document gives a good overview of the the various aspects of the concept including:
1. Understand the Linkage Between Strategy and an Operating Model.
2. Recognize the Key Components of a Company’s Operating Model.
3. Familiarize Use of Operating Models to Make Comparisons Across Companies.
Introduction to Business Architecture - Part 2Alan McSweeney
The first part is available at: https://www.slideshare.net/alanmcsweeney/introduction-to-business-architecture-part-1.
This material describes conducting a specific business architecture engagement. The engagement process is generic and needs to be adapted to each specific application and use. The engagement is a formal process for gathering information and creating a new business function model based on an analysis of that information.
The objective is to create a realistic and achievable target business architecture to achieve the desired business change.
Business architecture is a structured approach to analysing the operation of an existing business function or entire organisation with a view to improving its operations or developing a new business function, with a strong focus on processes and technology. Business architecture is not about business requirements – it is about business solutions and organisation changes to deliver business objectives.
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.

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.
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment

Similar to SAP Reference Architecture based on LeanIX (20)
LeanIX Virtual Workspaces make it possible for enterprises to operate across a shared IT inventory while setting specific access rights to protect confidential data or reducing the complexity of a workspace for certain business units.
Check out our overview where we cover best practices, tips and tricks for Virtual Workspaces use cases.
How to reduce complexity by segregating your data with Virtual WorkspacesLeanIX GmbH
LeanIX Virtual Workspaces make it possible for enterprises to operate across a shared IT inventory while setting specific access rights to protect confidential data or reducing the complexity of a workspace for certain business units. LeanIX admins now have the ability to decide which users can access Fact Sheets and to segment their workspaces according to e.g. enterprise brands or business units—all while e.g. keeping a common Business Capability model intact. The new feature is based on a flexible concept using Access Control Entities (ACEs) and Access Control Lists, and a group-view is available built-in to allow for centralized analyses.
Gartner EA: The Rise of Data-driven ArchitecturesLeanIX GmbH
LeanIX CEO André Christ's presentation from the 2019 Gartner Enterprise Architecture & Technology Innovation Summit in Orlando: Changing demands on Enterprise Architects require different approaches to tooling. The need to provide fast, smart answers to challenging business questions means switching from diagram-driven to data-driven architecture. The switch takes architecture from being used by the few, to a point where your whole organization is benefiting from and using the architecture you create every day!
Application Harmonisation using Design Principles in LeanIXLeanIX GmbH
Rainer Bartsch, Senior Enterprise Architect at RWE/Innogy give insights into Application Harmonization at EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn: The Energy Trading business has been changing from high to low margins, from long running contracts to highly volatile (intraday) markets, from a few big players to many smaller market participants and to a business model that requires us to approach new markets and opportunities around the globe.
Such constant business change, over time, results in a quite diverse IT landscape using all kinds of technologies and a hell of a lot of people to keep it running. This obviously is adverse business change but what can I do to harmonise my IT environment or prevent to get into such a situation? For sure, it doesn’t happen by accident or just by having a bunch of good developers, a set of architecture guidelines and tools!
Bartsch demonstrated RWE's approach to application harmonisation based on a business & IT commitment to deliver IT solutions against a set of 10 Design Principles. This includes LeanIX as our application inventory and two different examples on how to cover Design Principles, first as Custom Tags and second as Custom Fact Sheets.

Moving EA - from where we are to where we should beLeanIX GmbH
Presentation held by Dr. Stefan Zerbe, ITM at EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn.

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).

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.
