KEYNOTE: Strategic Consideration for Open Source in the Enterprise
Daniel Lange, IT Strategy & Innovation, BMW

Open Source Software (OSS) is making a major impact on the IT landscapes of many corporations. Apache web-servers have some 70% of the market and Eclipse has taken over the Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) market at such a tremendous pace that you can now get your favourite IDE from Sun or Oracle for free, too.

The cost savings are real but most corporations still want support from IBM or HP, never compile Linux themselves and if they did, would lose that valuable promise of support.
But OSS is not just about cost-saving. Architects need to get better acquainted with new license and development models and with the opportunities that OSS brings, such as increased interoperability or reduced vendor lock-in. Participating in an OSS community to achieve these benefits brings new challenges such as helping that guy in Uzbekistan with your people’s work time and selling this activity to upper management. This presentation will describe these challenges as well as outlining how to build a plan on what to do with OSS in your enterprise and what issues to focus your attention on.

Tell me and I’ll Forget: Effective Communication of an Enterprise Architecture
Martin Sykes, CTO, Offender Management, EDS

T‘Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I'll remember. Involve me and I'll understand’. (Confucius)

In today’s organizations, everyone is bombarded by information of various kinds from many sources. A clearly described Enterprise Architecture can avoid the ever increasing rate of change to business, information systems and technology being seen as anarchic and even lunatic.

However, not everyone can be involved in EA production and architects cannot assume that their logic and insight will be sufficient to convince people unmotivated to change of the value of this work.

An architecture will remain shelf ware until its customers and stakeholders can clearly understand how it affects them. Understanding all the different customers of EA and the products required to communicate with them in a way that grabs their attention and imagination is vital to the success of the endeavour.

CASE STUDY

Using Enterprise Architecture to Support Information Systems Strategy Development and Project Delivery at the Home Office
Abdul-Rashid M Abdi, Senior Information Systems Strategist, Home Office
Ted Carroll, Head of Technology Exploitation, Impact Plus

In collaboration with Impact Plus, the Home Office embarked on a project to investigate possible uses and benefits of Enterprise Architecture (EA). Twelve months later, an early EA model linking high level aims and objectives with people, processes and programmes was delivered. The model was used to assist with the 2006-2008 Information Systems (IS) strategy development and the rollout of a large Electronic Document Record Management (EDRM) project.

The EA project also defined a road map for setting up and running an in-house EA service to provide strategic assurance and guidance for projects during the feasibility stage, assist with assessment and evaluation of options in the design phase, and assist with identifying strategic themes.

The Architecture and Implementation Conundrum
Stan Locke, Managing Director, Zachman Framework Associates

Over the past 20 years as Enterprise Architecture has become a recognized way to express business requirements, controls and governance, many people ask how the architecture elements relate to systems implementations.

We will examine the assembly of the enterprise descriptions, building on the material given by John Zachman in the workshop and his opening keynote speech. We will touch on the new areas of virtual frameworks, information and service oriented approaches and the rapidly appearing Model Driven Architecture work being done by clients operating in a global enterprise.

This session will explore the recent work, in the evolving standards, methodology choices, and tool bindings, essential to narrowing this understanding gap in the following areas:

The Classification Framework
The Methodology Choices and Implications
The Integration and Transformation Requirements

How will your SOA Strategy Deliver Value
Simon Jewell, Director, Serco Consulting

SOA is gaining ground in the market, as it does so questions are being raised about the adequacy of current technologies to deliver on the promises.

Business Alignment and Value: We believe that such success is driven by understanding and aligning the benefits of the approach with business needs and drivers. To this end we will present a 'Best value' Model and SOA Maturity Framework.

Architecture: Adding the A into SOA requires that we have an architectural framework for the development and assessment of systems utilising either Services or ESB. This work builds on IEEE1470-2000 and assessment frameworks from the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon.

Developing Scorecards and Using Information Management to Manage Risk
John Ladley, Director, Navigant Consulting

Risk management has occupied a small corner of corporate mindshare until the last few years. Terrorism, regulation, natural disasters, and the pace of globalization have created environments where suddenly Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is dominating the agenda at corporate board meetings. The need for ERM is dropping squarely into the lap of those charged with maintaining the enterprise processes and technologies that manage data.

This session will review the risk-based drivers that are altering the shape of Enterprise Architecture. Short and long term strategies will be presented for modification, retrofit, or development of architectures that take Risk Management into account. Enterprise architects must now be prepared to proactively manage risk and point out liabilities and benefits in the information portfolio.

CASE STUDY

Enterprise Architecture in 10 Weeks at Vitens
Marlies van Steenbergen, Principal Consultant Enterprise Architecture, Sogeti

Developing an enterprise architecture need not be a mammoth exercise taking many months. In my presentation I will show how Vitens, a water supply company in the Netherlands, developed in only 10 weeks a usable enterprise architecture that is fully accepted by the organization. An effort that not only delivered results very quickly, but was also fun and educational for all parties involved.

Keywords in our approach were speed, involvement and fitness for use. We developed an approach to actively involve stakeholders from different parts of the organization, get them to communicate with each other and to solve their differences amongst each other. All this, of course was carried out in a way that fitted the very full agendas of the stakeholders.

Successful Service-Oriented Architecture
Paul Allen, Principal Consultant, CA

Loss of control of the enterprise software portfolio is a common problem in organizations faced with increasing pressure to outsource and to cut corners. This trend is fuelled by service orientation, a business model concerned with the buying and selling of services to achieve increased profits and long-term commercial advantage. The challenge is to evolve a set of agile services as part of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), in which services are clearly specified and dependencies understood. At the same time a practical migration strategy involves an incremental approach that delivers “quick wins”. In this presentation we look at how a SOA can enable the organization to achieve this goal, while regaining control of its software portfolio. We introduce several enabling techniques including the “line of commoditization” and service-oriented viewpoints. Real-world examples are used to illustrate application of these techniques.

KEYNOTE: BPM: The Tie that Binds Enterprise Architecture
Roger Burlton, Founder, Process Renewal Group

True enterprise architectures cover all aspects of all business capabilities, not just its technologies. This includes gaining and exploiting knowledge about many domains as viewed from many perspectives. A critical link among them and the path to alignment across Zachman Framework columns and traceability down its rows are business processes. This presentation asserts that processes act as the prime organizer of aligned and traceable architectural models when it comes to delivering an optimally functioning enterprise.

With the emergence of new standards for Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), the growing role of processes in Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and the undeniable connection between processes and Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), we have the opportunity to build more versatile enterprises that employ infrastructural components that are reusable and can be assembled into solutions fast under a process choreography layer. Without an Enterprise Architecture, builders will have to hand craft unique components and the links among them one process at a time at the expense of the adaptability of the enterprise and the satisfaction of its stakeholders.

This session will deal with the insidious role of process in synchronizing Enterprise Architectures and business solutions.

Architecture In a Global Organisation
Chris Wilson, BP

As a truly global organisation, with operations in all parts of the world, BP brings a unique challenge to architecture. Added to this has been an aggressive strategy of merger and acquisition resulting in a multitude of architectural experience and technologies. This talk is an overview of how BP addresses architecture, training and standards across the organisation. There will be a focus on BP’s various internal organisational models and how, pragmatically, architecture is delivered in these models. A major focus will be on ‘making architecture work’ in a company with diverse drivers and varying degrees of architectural maturity.

SOA/BAM/Grid and the Quest for the IT Holy Grail
Rijn van Lynden, Manager Integration Technologies, EMEA Technology Consulting

Imagine an IT environment where new business functions can be added seamlessly and integrated with each other to provide new business processes; where there is automatic reconfiguration in the event of overload or failure. This IT Holy Grail is getting closer due to the development of event-based and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).

SOA reintroduces the concept of software components, but independent of programming languages, transport or activation protocols. Integration is made easier and the activation of components is no longer an issue. The Grid computing concept can as a result, capitalise on SOA.

Such an environment requires real-time monitoring at various levels (systems, applications, business processes, etc). New event-based Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) technology provides the means for this overall control.

The combination of SOA, Grid and BAM into a single comprehensive architecture represents a major step towards the IT Holy Grail.

This presentation introduces these new concepts and their associated technologies from an architectural perspective and explains how they provide the IT environment of tomorrow.

How to structure their IT environment using a Service Oriented Architecture

Strategies to Realise Corporate Value from Enterprise Architecture
Andreas Dietzsch, Business Process Engineer, Swiss Mobiliar Insurance Co

Swiss Mobiliar has had an EA function since 2001. Today it is a widely accepted and valued change management instrument. As Mobiliar’s experiences show, an early involvement of non-IT related stakeholders and widespread EA use by them is extremely important to gain its full corporate value.

In 2003 QUT Brisbane started a joint project with industry partners investigating various strategies to enable corporate value from an Enterprise Architecture. In cooperation with Mobiliar and other partners an EA value realisation framework was developed. It focuses on an increased EA awareness by non-IT related stakeholders and the subsequent realisation of an EA’s entire potential value.

Extending the NATO Architectural Framework to represent Service-oriented Architectures
Jon Keefe, MOD, Ian Bailey, Cornwell Management Consulting plc.

NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC) is the realisation of a need for flexible, configurable military capability using new and existing sensors, decision makers and effectors in concert. The systems providing the required functionality are often complex. Planning and implementing NNEC will require a new way of managing vast amounts of operational and design information and understanding the connections between them. The NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) provides a way of organising and presenting this information in manageable views.

To achieve NNEC, NATO wishes to move towards a coalition Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This presents a different set of challenges to the stakeholders who currently work with the NAF since current military Architecture Frameworks – e.g. DoDAF, MODAF* & NAF – are not designed for explicit representation of services. Extensions to the NAF are needed if SOA is to be successfully adopted in NATO.

This presentation describes the work to date on extensions to the NAF for SOA.

Representative view examples, illustrating how services are defined, how they are composed and orchestrated, how they provide capability, and how they interact with the environment and other services.
Metamodel defining allowable architecture elements and how they are related, and decisions taken while defining extensions to it.
Wider international efforts to harmonise architecture frameworks.
