mission, vision and strategy.

Value Add Across UC:• Consistency and interoperability of technology, data and process

UC Shared Services EA Team• Primary Curator of the Repository• Establishes and maintains the body of knowledge• Ensures the EA-BoK is available and accessible across the UC system

IT Architecture Group• Facilitates local consultation and feedback• Enables local adoption and integration• Participates in maturation (continuous improvement)

pBenefit Statements

We can only realize the full value of UC Enterprise Architecture by establishing a collaborative working model

for EA functions across the system.

When Architectural assets are managed and subsequently utilized across UC, consistency, interoperability, and reuse

will be achieved.
