Presentation

Streamlining the Enterprise Architecture using industry business standards

Enterprise Architecture is often perceived as complex and lengthy approach.  There is a need for an accelerated path that covers the business, applications, information and infrastructure. Standards like APQC, TMF's eTOM, TAM ,SID, OAGIS, CIM provided means to accelerate the modeling. Combined with focused approaches using "horizon based modeling" that incorporate a notion of distance to, "staged zooming" that drills the business decompositions with selective modling at each layer and variability, the Enteprise Architecture approach can be made efficient.  This presentation will introduce these approaches and show some elements of variability modeling.
