Executive SummaryCorporate growth typically goes hand in hand with an increasingly complex IT environment. Mergers add tothe problem by creating redundancy, while shrinking system lifecycles necessitate more flexible IT architec-ture management. It becomes increasingly difficult to identify business-critical systems, and cost-cutting tar-gets prove elusive. The only viable strategy is to align IT structures with business objectives and processes,thereby enabling sustained improvements and a significant reduction in the cost of developing, maintaining,and upgrading IT systems. This paper shows how ARIS Solution for Enterprise Architecture Managementallows IT infrastructures to be aligned with corporate processes and enables long-term IT architecture man-agement.

Figure 1:Support for multi-ple enterprisearchitectureframeworks

The business pro cesses deployed in modern organizations are based on sophisticated enterprise-wide infor-mation systems. Enterprise architectures (EA for short) are the most important tools for documenting, analyz-ing, and managing the complex information this involves. They form part of an architecture framework thatdescribes the content required for a complete architecture.

Problem DefinitionCorporate IT resources constitute a complex system. An enterprise architecture (EA) describes this systemand establishes standards for creating and updating it. Understanding the system requires a number of views– business processes, organizational structure, applications, data, interfaces, and technologies. Multiple per-spectives must be taken into account, ranging from the enterprise view at a highly abstract level to detailedviews of individual business units, design aspects, and physical systems and devices.

3 ARIS Solution for Enterprise Architecture Management

3.1 ARIS Solutions & ARIS Value Engineering

ARIS Solutions combine selected ARIS Platform software products to handle specific tasks, such as creatingIT environments (enterprise architectures) or the process-based implementation and management of SAP sys-tems. But a successful project needs more than “just” software: knowing how to use the products is increas-ingly becoming a key factor. That’s why ARIS Solutions combine bundled software products with best-practiceapplication methods in the form of ARIS Value Engineering (AVE). All AVE methods have proven themselves ina slew of projects and benefit from the accumulated knowledge of IDS Scheer’s process consultants. By cou-pling software and methods, ARIS Solutions enable the full potential of ARIS Platform to be exploited.

And because all solutions are based on the central, integrated ARIS repository, data can be exchanged andprocessed across multiple solutions. In addition, all the target groups involved – organizational department,management, operational and IT departments, and controllers – work in an integrated environment. The resultis successful integrated business process management throughout the enterprise.

3.2 Solution ComponentsThe standard technology base that underpins all ARIS Platform products enables the following software prod-ucts to be used for specific solution scenarios:

� ARIS IT Architect / IT Designer

� ARIS Business Architect

� ARIS Business Publisher

� ARIS BSC

� ARIS Business Optimizer

A best-practice procedure model supplements the ARIS Solution software components, which is tailored ineach case to match the relevant scenario:

� ARIS Value Engineering (AVE) procedure model

ARIS Platform as BasisHaving been active in the field of business process optimization for over 20 years, IDS Scheer AG’s develop-ment of the ARIS Platform was informed by the experience gained in countless business process management(BPM) projects. Research by leading technology analysts shows that ARIS Platform continues to enjoy a mar-ket-leading position due to this combination of project insights and innovative software development. With itsintuitive user interface, smart Web technologies, and high level of scalability, ARIS is the benchmark for enter-prise-wide business process management. Integration of a range of different modeling methods and frame-works, such as EPC, UML, BPEL, BPMN, ITIL, TOGAF, DoDAF, TEAF / FEAF, ArchiMate, and Zachmann, enablesdeployment of ARIS in many different areas. All these methods are brought together in the central ARIS repos-itory.

ARIS Platform Products in This SolutionARIS IT Architect is the core component used to design all the IT-based com-ponents in the shared ARIS process repository. It enables the entire IT func-tion to be mapped – from network infrastructure to application types.

Departmental users deploy ARIS Business Architect to model processes andworkflows in the repository. IT elements from ARIS IT Architect can then beadded to this business data.

ARIS Business Publisher allows timely publication of process and IT informa-tion. It can be used to Web-enable repository data and dynamically display itvia process or intranet portals.

Using key indicators and relational dependencies, ARIS BSC enables definitionof an IT balanced scorecard. The modeled dependencies can be automatical-ly reported at any time. Data storage takes place in the shared ARIS processrepository.

AVE and Scenario RoadmapsTo enable real-world projects in this area to be introduced in a methodical fashion, all the necessary steps aredescribed in a scenario roadmap. The procedure is defined in specific work packages that cover the strategy,design, implementation, and controlling phases.

4 ARIS Solution Scenario: IT Architecture ManagementThe ARIS solution scenario IT Architecture Management makes it possible to create uniform reference archi-tectures for all organizational units and to implement them in IT project situations. Achieving consistencybetween reference and real-world architectures is an important part of the work performed by enterprisearchitects, application architects, and application owners.

4.1 AVE Roadmap: Overview and PhasesThis scenario offers a consistent workflow plan for implementing an automated, scalable solution that meas-ures, analyzes, and optimizes business processes. In the strategy phase, the operational KPIs are derived fromthe strategic objectives and assigned to the various states of the end-to-end processes. More detail is addedto the solution in the design phase, before it is implemented and integrated into the existing IT environment.Finally, goal achievement is evaluated in the controlling phase against the relevant strategy and a reportingsystem established across the relevant unit.

Figure 3:Work packages forAVE scenario: ITArchitectureManagement

AVE Strategy Phase

Figure 4:Overview of ARISSolution scenario –Strategy

This phase begins with defining strategic objectives, deriving measurable KPIs, and selecting end-to-endprocesses. These requirements are linked and stored in the central ARIS repository, enabling process-orient-ed requirements analysis to ensure that process knowledge can be reused within the organization.

Most of the components of an enterprise architecture are often already available in existing documentation

Bringing this existing documentation together in a structured way allows immediate identification of priorities

Discussing with the main stakeholders around the enterprise architecture views allows validation of those priorities

Enterprise architecture scope can be clearly identified

Common understanding on the objectives, their interrelation and the time plan insures efficient, effective and well-scoped strategic projects

ARIS Platform

Questions answered in the AVE strategy phase include:

� What is the underlying organizational and process structure for the processes to be analyzed?

� What is the defined IT strategy?

� What are the organization’s main application systems?

These issues are specifically addressed in the AVE work package, so that they can be dealt with quickly andeffectively during the actual project.

A business segment matrix (BSM) helps users to document the products and services of the company to beanalyzed and to identify the relevant IT services, thereby enabling a proper understanding of the project andits context. The matrix defines the company’s market, its positioning within that market, and the key successfactors (KSFs) established in the course of a workshop or using other methods. The aim is to map the organi-zation’s core processes and products in a structured way and to identify current and future business potential.Using the shared process repository, ARIS Business Architect can save the matrix, organizational units, prod-ucts, processes, and relationships on an ongoing basis for use later in the project.

Figure 5:Work package “BusinessSegment Matrix”

When the various project envi-ronment variables, from corpo-rate objectives to the relevantprocess landscape, have beendocumented, the focus can beshifted from the general organi-zation strategy to pure IT strate-gy. ARIS BSC enables an IT bal-anced scorecard (BSC) to becreated, in which the varioussets of objectives relating to theorganization’s IT function aredefined and quantified and thedifferent dependencies estab-

lished. These are stored in the shared ARIS process repository for further use. Additionally, it makes sense todocument the concrete project objectives in ARIS Business Architect.

Figure 6:Work package “IT StrategyBSC with ARIS BSC”

With data on process structure and organizational structure avail able, the next step prior to the actual designphase is to identify the underlying IT components that are of strategic importance to the project objective andto document them in the process repository via ARIS IT Architect. The granularity can range from fine instancelevel detail (e.g., for a network router) through to abstract type de scrip tion of an ERP system. The correct levelis defined here in accordance with project scope.

Solution Paper

AVE Design Phase

The focus of this phase is on preparing to implement the solution. The process flow to be measured is dividedinto sections, which correspond to specific states of the runtime data of the associated IT systems. The cus-tomer-required analyses, report templates, and dashboards are also defined here.

Figure 7:Work package “Description ofRelevant IT Components”

Questions answered in the AVE design phase include:

� Which architecture types and elements should I document and to what level?

� How do I combine process and IT information?

� How do I communicate information to the individual stakeholders during the project?

These issues are specifically addressed in the AVE work package, so that they can be dealt with quickly andeffectively during the actual project.

Figure 8:Overview of ARISSolution scenario –Design

Having established the strategy and relevant system environment, the next issue to be settled is what archi-tecture views and elements should be modeled in their entirety and stored consistently in ARIS IT Architect.This step assumes extra importance if process documentation from, say, ARIS Toolset or ARIS BusinessArchitect, has already been created by a user department. What therefore needs to be defined together withthe project team is which of the architecture components in the diagram below should be used at the start,which of them should be mapped, and to what level. IT infrastructure information can be imported into the cen-tral ARIS process repository from CMDB databases for use with ARIS IT Architect.

The ARIS method helps identify rapidly which model types should be used per EA view

Filters can created to guide modelers and enable consist reuse of EA artifacts

An efficient database architecture limits administrative work (consolidation of artifacts) and enables transversal analysis

Views add extra value to the enterprise architecture repository by enabling big pictures of the system

Figure 9:Work package “Scopeand Definition ofArchitecture Views”

To ensure consistent use of any process information modeled by user departments and the addition of key ITcomponents in ARIS IT Architect, special object types, such as IS functions and IT system types, are used todocument the system in detail. Depending on the exact requirements, it is now possible to create and auto-matically report purely business views or purely IT views within the stored, relationally linked models, basedon the shared process repository.

Figure 10:Work package “LinkingBusiness and ITElements”

To keep all project members and stakeholders informed about the progress of the AVE-compliant project in linewith their respective roles, IT and business information can be published on a read-only basis via ARISBusiness Publisher’s process and intranet portals. This means that, after successful authentication, projectmembers have role-based access to the segments they need for review purposes from the shared processrepository. If updating options are required for the selective write-back of, say, IT system information, this canbe provided on a consistent basis in the future via the ARIS IT Inventory.

Figure 11:Work package “PublishingIT and BusinessInformation”

AVE Implementation Phase

The output of this phase is a validated, integrated solution that will be developed in iterative steps into a com-prehensive measurement and analysis tool. Role-based user training is then provided prior to rolling out thesolution. When the solution is operational, data is automatically collected by continuous logging and measur-ing of actual processes. This results in a complete knowledge base that delivers up-to-the-minute data on thecurrent efficiency and quality of business processes.

Figure 12:Overview of ARISSolution scenario –Implementation

Questions answered in the AVE implementation phase include:

� What system environments are needed to use the enterprise architecture solutions?

� How do I implement the relevant responsibilities (EA governance)?

These issues are specifically addressed in the AVE work packages, so that they can be dealt with quickly andeffectively during the actual project.

The Enterprise Architecture repository needs to be easily available to all its stakeholders, and integrated in the existing environment

A successful architecture environment means taking into account also the technical aspects of its installation (interfaces to other systems, automated administration tasks, …)

The IT Architecture repository also needs to be integrated to the other initiatives around ARIS, and implementing the scenario means making sure the repository is built consistently with other ARIS initiatives

A successful governance models means clearly identified responsibilities around the architecture views, and corresponding metrics

Figure 13:Work package “Rolloutand Project Scope”

To deploy the enterprise architecture solution and roll it out across the organization, the rollout process andproject scope must be aligned with the ARIS system architecture. This involves defining which users shouldaccess which central, local, or synchronized ARIS Platform products, and with which roles and rights. All Web-based ARIS Platform products, such as ARIS IT Architect, ARIS Business Architect, and ARIS BusinessPublisher, can reside at a central location and be made available to decentralized local project teams.

If the concept of EA, the tools, and the project are to be embedded in the organization on a long-term basis,individual responsibilities should be documented with regard to operation, future development, and the organ-ization-relevant possibilities to create a documented EA governance structure. Sponsors and stakeholders inthe user and IT departments should be aware of the impact of EA on future IT strategy (defined in ARIS BSC)and be able to support the detailed decisions made in the subsequent controlling phase. A detailed EA gover-nance process can be defined in ARIS Business Architect and effectively communicated using ARIS BusinessPublisher.

Figure 14:Work package “EAGovernance”

AVE ControllingPhase

When the architecture has been successfully designed and implemented within the organization, the projectresults need to be analyzed in detail in the controlling phase and compared with the target values. They alsoneed to form part of an established, ongoing reporting process across the organization in order to facilitate andsupport future changes.

Figure 15:Overview of ARISsolution scenario –Controlling

Questions answered in the AVE controlling phase include:

� Which IT elements should be changed during the EA project?

� What results were achieved in the project as a whole?

These issues are specifically addressed in the AVE work packages, so that they can be dealt with quickly andeffectively during the actual project.

Once the scenario has been successfully implemented in the IT organization, necessary changes and improve-ments often become immediately apparent during the subsequent goal achievement and strategy review.Redundant or non-standardized systems are frequently identified in the first IT project review. These can bedynamically modified and added during further planning in ARIS Business Architect, new scenarios can be val-idated with ARIS Business Simulator, and strategic alignment continuously verified in terms of IT strategy usingARIS BSC. It is also possible to give all project members periodic access to this information.

Figure 16:Work package “GoalAchievement andStrategy Review”

To compare project inputs and outputs with the target values defined in the IT balanced scorecard, the con-crete results need to be provided to all participants and stakeholders in the form of a detailed EA report, e.g.,via an ARIS Business Publisher portal. This target/actual comparison can be used as the starting point forextending and adapting the architecture. All changes remain consistent thanks to the shared repository andcan be published by way of ARIS Platform’s function-rich WYSIWYG reporting components.

A successful IT Architecture involves making sure all stakeholders are well aware and successfully applying architecture rules

These rules can be related to the concepts manipulated

These rules can also mean specific architectural rules, such as using the right technology for the right type of application, or reusing as much as possible existing technologies/applications.

Providing metrics and views to analyze such inconsistencies allows enterprise architects to rapidly react or on the contrary reuse best practices from projects.
