KEYNOTE: Surfing the Tsunami: Riding the Waves of Change to Bring Business Value
Michael Rosen, Director, Enterprise Architecture, Cutter Consortium
So much is happening in IT these days; it's hard to keep up with the tsunami of change. But, as Enterprise Architects, it's our job to not only be abreast of the latest developments, but to put them into perspective within our enterprise. A solid conceptual landscape of each architectural domain can help architects position the changes to fit their enterprise and provide maximum value. As always, we need to respond to new business demands. But now more than ever, new avenues exist to create additional opportunities for the business. This keynote, illustrated with case study examples of topics such as cloud computing, Enterprise 2.0, semantic technologies, green IT, will position the changing concerns of enterprise architecture to enable you to use them to deliver value faster within your own enterprise.
- Impact of new developments on enterprise architecture
- Architectural landscape concepts and relationships
- Driving business value with IT opportunity

Building a Process Architecture on a Budget: Trials, Tribulations, and Lessons Learned
Alec Sharp, Senior Consultant, Clariteq Systems Consulting Ltd
Business processes are a critical element of an Enterprise Architecture because they depict the essence of what an enterprise does to deliver value. They provide a powerful and relevant framework for getting attention, especially executive attention, when they are used to reveal the hidden factors that support or impede the creation of value. The difficulty is that it usually takes a lot of time and effort from multiple resources to develop a credible product.
This presentation traces the recent development of an enterprise process architecture that was completed with minimum time, expense, and disruption. It describes what was developed, how it is already being used, why the executive was supportive, the use of available artifacts and resources, and the techniques that were used. The focus is on achieving more with less, but there will be useful lessons for anyone undertaking a process architecture initiative - even if they have lots of time and money!
Key points and questions include:
- Engaging the executives what worked, what didn't
- How useful (or not) were off-the-shelf frameworks and reference models?
- Why core process is a dangerous term and lessons learned.
- Balancing acts generic vs. specific, broad vs. granular, top-down vs. bottom-up, and more
- Architecture through archaeology sifting through the artifacts

The Norwegian Tax Administration's Road to IT Excellence
Bjorn-R. Solstad, Principal, Capgemini Consulting
Camilla Roark, Enterprise Architect, Norwegian Tax Administration
The Norwegian Tax Administration (NTA) was among the first organisations in Norway to use computers. During the seventies and eighties, huge monolithic systems were developed, many of which are still in operation, and in the nineties, Internet was put on top of these legacy systems making the portfolio rather complex. The future challenge of NTA is dependent on the ability to ensure an excellent co-operation with other public units, the Norwegian population and commercial businesses. Many of the legacy systems might be a barrier to this.
This presentation will tell how the NTA in 2008 started a process, together with Capgemini Consulting, to build a new Enterprise Architecture and how they made the IT City Plan a foundation for all new developments. We will emphasise how the IT City Plan was made operational through a new architectural governance structure and how this was implemented.
- The challenges behind the decision to start on the Enterprise Architecture Roadmap
- How the key deliverables of the EA project were developed - the methodology used - how people were involved to ensure the right commitment
- Key findings when comparing the legacy portfolio to the IT City Plan
- The Enterprise Architecture Governance Structure and how it was applied
- Lessons learned and pitfalls

The Architecture of Enterprise Architecture
Len Fehskens, VP and Professional Lead, Skills and Capabilities, The Open Group
The value of effective enterprise architecture is rarely well understood or acknowledged. Part of the reason for this is that there is not a generally agreed definition of what EA is. Most thinking about architecture in the enterprise context has been shaped by the ideas of the software architecture community with the result that architecture is viewed as being largely about components and their relationships.. As many practising solution and enterprise architects believe enterprise architecture is less about the structure of IT and more about business driven enterprise solutions (of which IT is only a part), it is appropriate to reconsider what architecture originally meant, and develop a clearer, more focused understanding of what it means today.
This talk briefly surveys the history of the concept of enterprise architecture, and assesses the current state of the art, including current standards such as IEEE1471 and ISO42010. It then compares and contrasts model driven architecture and principle driven architecture to develop a concept of enterprise architecture which, while compatible with the current conventional wisdom, is better suited to the needs of today's enterprise architects, providing a basis for moving the practice forward. |

Business Vocabulary: The Catalyst to Healthy Business/IT Communications
Cliff Longman, Independent Consultant , AdaptableData
"Business people" often find it difficult to talk to "IT people", and vice versa. One reason for this is the lack of a common language on which to base a conversation. While the business focus is on net margin, time to market, and regulatory compliance, the IT focus is on normalization, query performance and security policies. To make matters worse, most companies do not have a defined vocabulary between departments so business people struggle to communicate accurately with their peers.
In this session, Cliff will show how techniques used primarily for DATA modelling can be adapted to deliver a consistent BUSINESS vocabulary that business people from different departments and IT people can use as a standard for better communication. The process of developing this vocabulary leads to an empathy between business and IT practitioners which in turn creates a more productive atmosphere in which to get the most from IT investments.
You will learn:
- How empathy in conjunction with modelling techniques accelerates common understanding
- How to adapt data modelling techniques to develop a business model and formal business vocabulary
- Questioning and feedback techniques to improve accuracy of the vocabulary and accurately capture business requirements

Bringing
Enterprise Architecture to Life in Projects with the Project Start
Architecture
Martin van den Berg, Service Line Manager, Sogeti Nederland
The Project Start
Architecture (PSA) is one of the key architecture artefacts of the DYnamic
Architecture (DYA) approach. The PSA delineates a concrete and usable framework
within which the project should be carried out. The enterprise architecture
(principles, rules, guidelines and models) is clarified or "translated" in a
PSA to meet the specific problems and requirements of a project. Since its
introduction in 2001 it has become the de-facto standard for bringing EA into
life in projects and is widely used in The Netherlands and in Sweden, in
particular, in all governmental bodies and all major insurance companies in The
Netherlands.
Delegates will
learn from this presentation:
- What is a Project
Start Architecture?
- What are the
advantages of a Project Start Architecture?
- How do
organizations make use of the Project Start Architecture (with examples)?

Selecting Approaches to Enterprise Architecture
Sally Bean, Director, Sally Bean Ltd
EA practitioners
are increasingly including the 'architecture of the business' in their scope.
However, it's important to recognise that because of the human element of
organisations, an enterprise cannot be entirely designed as if it is a machine
when it is really a complex adaptive system continuously co-evolving with its
environment.
This presentation
will explore the benefits and limitations of the machine metaphor of
organisation in the information age and discuss different modelling approaches.
It will show how some of the ideas of Systems and Complexity science can be
effectively applied to produce a new way of thinking about EA that is
accessible to all stakeholders and supports improved communication between
people as well as machines.
- Using the Cynefin
sense-making framework to explore different organisational contexts.
- The relevance of systems
thinking to EA
- How to use these ideas
to develop an appropriate operating model for EA in your organisation

KEYNOTE: Architecting for an Age of Intelligence
Don Tapscott, Chairman, nGenera
The global economic
crisis of 2009 was a wakeup call to the world. We need to rethink and rebuild
many of the organizations and institutions that have served us well for
decades, but now have come to the end of their life cycle. As the crisis has
spread to other sectors in the economy and even other sectors of society, it is
exposing structural weaknesses and modes of operation that no longer nurture
social and economic growth. At the same time, the digital revolution is driving
new opportunities and enabling new business and operating models. Don Tapscott,
best-selling author, will provide a unique insight into the contribution that enterprise
architects must make to enable the redesign of organisations and their
information systems for an Age of Intelligence. as depicted in his upcoming book MACROWIKINOMICS: Rebooting Business and the World (September 2010, co-author
Anthony D. Williams.) |

Enterprise Architecture as an enabler for sustainable Business Transformation
André Swart, Business Architect, Old Mutual
Anna Mari Uys, Process Architect, Old Mutual
Large business transformation projects have to manage the demand for short-term demonstrable benefits while creating long-term sustainable change. Finance is not typically the first place most organisations start when applying enterprise architecture. However, common challenges that face organisations, across their value chains, are usually evident in the management of finance. To address these challenges, enterprise architecture thinking can be successfully applied to accelerate and sustain business transformation, delivering benefits that include:
- Developing a common language that can be used by operations, finance and IT to align knowledge and thinking
- Maximising the value of finance and actuarial skills, information and IT through shared services thinking
- Providing consistent, relevant and understandable financial reporting for internal and external use
- Enabling the agility of finance to support sustainable change in response to new regulations and reporting standards, new product launches, corporate actions, M&A activity, restructures; as well as continuous improvement
- Providing a catalyst for wider adoption of the architecture
- Building a solid foundation for execution
This session will describe the journey and some creative ways to leverage enterprise architecture to drive out business value.

The Business Intelligence Challenge for Enterprise Architects
How can Enterprise Architecture govern Business Intelligence?
Simon Griffiths, Oracle Business Intelligence Architect, Oracle Corporation
Adam Boczkowski, Oracle Enterprise Architect, Oracle Corporation
Now, more than ever, businesses need every decision - from the highly strategic to the transactional - to be a timely and well informed. However, pervasive BI architectures, governance, and policy setting have been an ongoing challenge for Enterprise Architects.
To succeed, Enterprise Architects need to drive a unified corporate information architecture that includes collaboration and cooperation among business units as well as establishes strong architectural policies.
Join Oracle enterprise architects to explore key questions:
- How can BI and the development of an effective information architecture be used as a catalyst to strengthen the relationship between the EA function and the business?
- How can an EA assist in implementing effective mechanisms in place ensure the quality of data?
- How can pervasive BI be achieved in a timely and consistent manner?
- How can techniques and technologies such as data abstraction and SOA enable this transformation?
- What are the implications of pervasive BI for the overall enterprise infrastructure?

Delivering
Decision Effectiveness through Enterprise Business Architecture
Dick Whittington, CTO, The Salamander Organization Ltd
Steve Winter, Chief Technologist & Strategic Advisor, NATS Corporate and Technical Centre
Developments over the
past few years have allowed senior stakeholders within the business to realise
significantly greater benefits from Enterprise Architecture. Combining and
synchronising information traditionally managed within a range of business domains,
new joined-up thinking and technologies are enabling the expansion of the
approach to deliver a new era "Enterprise Business Architecture" that focuses
on key decision processes to deliver greater effectiveness - especially
poignant in today's challenging economic climate.
Enterprise Business
Architecture software is currently used to powerful effect by both Government
and Industry. The approach has been demonstrated to be capable of yielding
significant cost savings through common understanding and consequent improved
decision making, in addition to reducing projected delivery timescales.
This session will
summarise the underlying principles of enterprise business architecture, and
look into how the approach is working in practice to improve the key processes
of decision making, performance management and business change. |

The
Event Network as Enabler of Business Agility
Christopher Bird, Chief Architect, Airline Solutions, Sabre Airline Solutions
As architectural
models evolve from RPC-like SOA models to even more loosely event driven
models, so our thinking around interaction, flow and management of control, and
handling content will need to expand. In this presentation, Chris will expand
on the event architecture and associated patterns in place within Sabre -
patterns that power the Sabre Airline Exchange platform. Attendees will:
- Understand the drivers for event based solutions
- Understand how to construct a high speed, reliable event network
from standard components
- Recognize the need for a robust control infrastructure around the
event models
- Examine alternatives for enabling the control infrastructure

Safety
First - How an Enterprise Architecture Approach to Information Assurance is
Helping the Ministry of Justice Reduce Costs Without Sacrificing Security
Christopher Few, CESG
James Chappell, Head of Enterprise Security Services, Detica
Enterprise
Architects are already helping businesses save money. However, for Government,
this has to be balanced with keeping the organisation and its data safe, and
with budgets already stretched, there's no new money for security. In this
presentation and with reference to work at the Ministry of Justice, John
Fitzgerald (Head of Information Assurance, Ministry of Justice) and James
Chappell (Head of Enterprise Security Services, Detica) will show how an EA
approach to information assurance can help businesses make the right tradeoffs
to reduce costs safely.
The talk will
cover:
- why 'right-sizing' information assurance means making it part of
the business and technical architecture
- how Enterprise Architecture approaches to modelling and alignment
can help organisations balance cost reduction and risk
- what Government can learn from EA in keeping sensitive
information secure

"No we
don't do the floor plan!" How to be Realistic with Enterprise Architecture"
Deborah Weiss, Manager, Technology and Strategic Planning, VicTrack
We all know that EA
can yield extraordinary value to organisations through improved business
performance as well as rationalised technology investments. This session is a
real world experience that shows despite (or rather in spite of) your level of
organisational (and EA) maturity you can position EA to guide and influence
strategic business and technical decisions.
Put the theory on
the shelf (but don't throw it away) and begin to understand that value is
delivered from an EA program that is well integrated and understood. Have a
lofty goal but define a pragmatic place to start and make sure the EA program
is properly scoped and focused on real world execution.
- Gain success by integrating EA into existing processes - make life
easier
- Use an iterative approach for developing EA - one step at a time
- Start by using EA for project and program portfolio optimisation
- where the rubber hits the road
