 Presentation
CASE STUDY: Enterprise Architecture for ERP
The presentation will give an introduction to architecture work that has been done and still is being done at the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Watermanagement (TPWWM) in the Netherlands.
Architects have had difficulties to prove their added-value in environments
where package-based solutions (PBS'’s) play an important role. Currently package-vendors
are adopting service-oriented architectures, and the business and IT landscape
of organisations is getting more and more complex (external collaboration,
M&A's, legislation, integrated views). However, package-vendor implementation
approaches cannot deal with this complexity. One reason for this is that these
approaches have a single project focus. This reason and other reasons will
be highlighted and discussed.
As announced at the OG conference in San Diego January 2007, SAP and Capgemini are currently developing an extension set to TOGAF 8.1 to support architects that are working in PBS environments. Ideas developed at the Ministry of TPWWM (this case) have been input to this development.
The presentation will then zoom in on the architecture for the purchasing
and inspection domains at the Ministry of TPWWM, and, based on that, discuss
do's and don'ts for architecture deliverables in PBS environments. Doing so,
it is a good example of the types of situations for which SAP and Capgemini
are currently developing the TOGAF 8.1 extensions.
