 Presentation
Optimising
End State Enterprise Architectures using IBM EA Method
and Structural Modelling
The objective of the presentation is to describe
the method used to optimise an End State Architecture as
well as track its overall effectiveness. The presentation
will briefly cover the IBM EA Method, aspects of the resulting
Framework, the structure and connectedness of the EA Repository
using the Abacus Tool from Avolution and some sample optimisations
covering people, processes and technology selection.
The overall architectural model is focused on optimising
business outcomes, (or Health Outcomes in the current engagement)
and will show how to trace the set of desired outcomes
to the layered and interconnected array of service components
that contribute directly or indirectly to these outcomes.
Finally it shows through capability space chart analysis
what design tradeoffs are being made regarding through
the various dimensions of the architecture, including factors
such as relevance to outcome, utilisation, capacity, price,
performance, risk or openness and how the set of these
factors may have moved over various time frames.
