Presentation
E = MC2 for the 21st Century
[Enterprise Management Control Center]

We are all aware of the importance of the equation E = MC2 in the 20th century. This presentation will explore the importance of this equation to the 21st century.

The 21st century enterprise is clearly being driven by "information." The degree and elegance with which we are able to harness, analyze and control this "informational energy" is the key to success or failure in today's competitive world.

The Open Group Architectural Framework recognizes the need to support multiple perspectives, facilitate collaboration, and build an environment for leveraging enterprise assets. TOGAF facilitates the capture, sharing, analysis and management of enterprise information between the diverse set of “interested stakeholders”.

Tools can help or hinder the adoption of an Architectural Framework such as TOGAF. Often the initial tool set found in most enterprises consists of a series of programs which produce pretty reports. These file-oriented programs are usually based on data privately owned by various stakeholder groups. The various stakeholders meet together and bring their respective “pretty pictures” and attach them to the project conference room walls. The outputs of these tools typically include numerous diagrams, spreadsheets, data tables, and word documents literally papering the walls. "Wall Paper Generators"! Invariably these "Wall Paper" views are out of date and out of synch with one another.

Methodologists and tool smiths create their respective theories, perspectives, views and notations. Most now agree that a “Common Repository” is good. However, their theoretically crafted views and notations may or may not communicate well with the diverse business stakeholder groups.

This presentation will demonstrate the powerful meta-modeling capabilities of Envision VIP with its multi-user object-oriented repository and how it can support various architectural frameworks including TOGAF. This synergistic and intuitive environment maximizes information leveraging for all types of enterprise information. An unlimited number of stakeholder views can be supported for these informational assets. We will show examples of how an organization can truly realize the benefits of an architectural framework such as TOGAF via an enterprise:
