WHAT IS ENTERPRISE
ARCHITECTURE?

Enterprise architecture is a description of the structure of an organisation including its business and IT
environments and can be used to guide business and technology change.

What Benefits

• Enterprise Architecture (EA) is both a process and a tool for Enterprise Architecture:
translating business vision and strategy into effective business
• supports and facilitates IT strategic planning, IT investment
change.
prioritisation, IT portfolio management and IT decision-making
• An EA is a comprehensive description of the structure of an

enterprise including:
business objectives and needs
• people and organisation
• assists with the enhancement and optimisation of business
• business processes and functions processes through more effective use of technology
• information and data • improves IT business engagement through better understanding
of how IT supports the business
• systems and applications
• facilitates overall organisational efficiency through rationalisation
• technology infrastructure.
and consolidation of IT investments
• Taking an EA approach to strategic planning and decision making
• improves IT program and project planning, scoping, design and
(i.e. treating technology as a single integrated asset rather than

PRINCIPLES (2/4)
A set of guiding IT principles to inform IT decision making and ways of working were defined as part of the IT Strategy:

IT Principles Implications
• Local coverage is an important element to meet the demand at its source and improve intimacy with the business.
Plan & Govern Global, Deliver
• Alleviate the business tendency to look elsewhere/external for IT services
Local
• Consolidate resources where roles require regular interaction to deliver the required outcome

Consistent use of Common • Use common methodologies, tools and standards to deliver IT services
Processes and Tools • Institutionalise compliance to processes by implementing global governance of IT

• Pragmatic adoption of proven best practices avoids “re-inventing the wheel”


Adopt over Adapt
• Standardise the way IT processes and services are delivered

• Structure the operating model to clearly differentiate between core services and commodity services .
Commoditise and Outsource
• Outsource commodity services to deliver cost efficiencies

• Look for global strategic partnerships to help deliver services across the geo-spread; leverage on vendor’s coverage vs. in-house
Strategic Value over Low-Cost coverage
options
• Improves the standard of service stemming from a partnership approach as oppose to a cost-driven transactional exercise

• SAP First - Utilise the chosen enterprise platform, where possible, to deliver integrated and consistent solutions across the
Minimise Diversification, business
Maximise Consolidation
• Leverage existing investment - reuse before buy, buy before build

• Drives a consistent experience across the business based on standard set of services
Single ‘Face of IT’ Toward the
• Single point of accountability and empowerment for end to end delivery of outcomes
Business
• Provide clear visibility and set expectations with business around IT service delivery

Align Resource Capability to • Ensure resources are actively allocated to roles thFinprosys have demonstrated capability and possess the right experience
Role Requirements • Investment in necessary skills training

APPENDIX B.1: <<CLIENT>>
ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
PRINCIPLES (3/4)
Technology Principles Description
• “SAP first” or “Why not SAP?” – Wherever possible, prefer a solution from the SAP suite of products over other solutions.
• Off-the-shelf enterprise suite-based packages are preferred over customised best-of-breed software packages.
Strategic enterprise suite- • Consider the strategic, long-term objectives and TCO when choosing a solution, and wherever possible choose strategic solutions over
based solutions first tactical to better achieve an integrated and consistent IT environment.
• Solutions which deviate from the “SAP first” and off-the-shelf enterprise suite-based principle, i.e. tactical solutions, must demonstrate
in the business case the technical implications, and cost of future effort required to align back with the Enterprise Architecture
roadmap.
Reuse before extend before • Adopt existing solutions rather than adapting existing solutions or introducing new solutions to minimise technical diversity and
buy before build customisation. This will optimise the longer-term cost to support, maintain and upgrade solutions.

• Introduction of new solutions should simplify and standardise the technology environment, consolidating applications, databases and
infrastructure where possible.
Simplify and standardise
• Common integration solutions, technologies and approaches should be used.
• Use common methodologies, tools, standards and processes to deliver IT solutions across the enterprise.

Availability, reliability and


• Solutions must achieve a level of availability, reliability and serviceability in line with the business criticality and requirements.
serviceability

• Provide a flexible platform to support ongoing changes in the business and effective integration of new business initiatives (e.g. Mobile
Scalability and flexibility Computing, SaaS, Outsourcing).
• Adopt cloud based solutions to increase flexibility of IT infrastructure and capability to deliver greater value to the business.

• Technology solutions are innovative and apply modern approaches that enable more effective ways to meet business demand and
Innovative, sustainable and requirements.
modern solutions • Adopt cloud based solutions to optimise costs and drive optimum operational efficiency (e.g. Outsource commodity services to leverage
vendor scale to focus on core services imperatives).

Business driven technology • Introduction of new technology solutions or changes to current systems and environments must have clear business benefits and
solutions requirements.

• Security policies should drive the implementation of technical security controls.


• The selection of controls will be based on a risk analysis and management decision.
Security risks are considered
• Technology environment will maintain a level of security that is commensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm that could result
from the loss, misuse, disclosure or modification of information.

APPENDIX B.2: ENTERPRISE
ARCHITECTURE PROCESS (2/2)
Enterprise Architecture Process Overview

1. Define Enterprise Architecture Vision, Strategy & Principles – Involves developing a high-level description of the baseline and target
architectures, covering the business, information, data, and application and technology domains and providing the sponsor with the
required tools to sell the benefits to stakeholders within the enterprise. It also involves defining how the new capability will meet
enterprise goals and strategic objectives and address stakeholder concerns when implemented

2. Define and manage architecture requirements – Involves identifying and managing the requirements for enterprise architecture

3. Develop architecture content – Defining detailed current and target architectures for the business, information, data, application and
technology domains

4. Define architecture opportunities & implementation roadmap – This process involves rationalizing the gaps between baseline and
target architectures, taking both a business and a technical perspective, and logically grouping them into project work packages. This is
a collaborative effort with key enterprise stakeholders from business and IT to assess the enterprise's transformation readiness, and
identify opportunities, solutions and all implementation constraints

5. Manage EA Knowledge & Content – This process involved publishing and organising architecture content (e.g. glossary, taxonomy,
meta-model, capability and resource to perform knowledge management activities). It also includes developing deliverable templates,
checklists for architecture reviews, and the automation of the EA framework and methods using a standard set of tools and
infrastructure to support the work of architects

6. Manage Architecture Services – This process involves developing a mandate for the EA function, a compelling value proposition for
the architecture team and setting up the operating model, putting in place KPIs and takes the appropriate action in order to deliver to the
required performance levels. Assigns people to the EA function and ensures that thFinprosys are appropriately skilled and supported in
order to be effective in their roles, including on-boarding, assignment to communities of practices, training, certification, and mentoring
and coaching.

7. Govern Enterprise Architecture – This process involves maintaining solution alignment with target architecture and business value
drivers though out organisational/business and technology
