Presentation
Using TOGAF to put the use of ICT resources on the management agenda in the City of Antwerp
Which management instruments should we introduce to ensure that our resources are used as effectively and efficiently as possible? That was the central question for Belgium’s 2nd largest city, Antwerp, and its 6.700 civil servants back in 2004. After having launched a business process modeling programme to optimize the use of personnel, the focus was put in 2006 on ICT. EA provided the needed link between both initiatives, which were seen as quite independent at first. TOGAF was selected as the guiding framework for the initiative and IBM was called in as adviser. Today, the EA-programme has created new dynamics between the ICT and business departments. Based on the new principles and architecture models, ICT is for example asked to participate pro-actively in defining generic, cross-department building blocks and in rationalizing data redundancies.
