TOGAF® Version 9.1

Enterprise Edition

 TOGAF®, an Open Group Standard, is a proven enterprise architecture methodology and framework used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals. Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAF standards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, and realize a greater return on investment.

First developed in 1995, TOGAF was based on the US Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM). From this sound foundation, The Open Group Architecture Forum has developed successive versions of TOGAF at regular intervals and published them on The Open Group public web site.

TOGAF Version 9.1 is a maintenance update to TOGAF 9, addressing comments raised since the introduction of TOGAF 9 in 2009. It retains the major features and structure of TOGAF 9, thereby preserving existing investment in TOGAF, and adds further detail and clarification to what is already proven.

The standard is divided into seven parts:

• PART I (Introduction): This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of enterprise architecture and in particular the TOGAF approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout TOGAF and release notes detailing the changes between this version and the previous version of TOGAF.
• PART II (Architecture Development Method): This is the core of TOGAF. It describes the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) - a step-by-step approach to developing an enterprise architecture.
• PART III (ADM Guidelines & Techniques): This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying TOGAF and the TOGAF ADM.
• PART IV (Architecture Content Framework): This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical architecture deliverables.
• PART V (Enterprise Continuum & Tools): This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorize and store the outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.
• PART VI (TOGAF Reference Models): This part provides a selection of architectural reference models, which includes the TOGAF Foundation Architecture, and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).
• PART VII (Architecture Capability Framework): This part discusses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture function within an enterprise.                         

Once you are using TOGAF to develop Enterprise Architecture in your organisation then there are two areas that will need to be focussed on if Enterprise Architecture is to thrive and grow.

• Firstly the embracing of Enterprise Architecture by the whole business, your suppliers and customers to ensure effective and sustainable capabilities both strategically and in operational programs. This includes the integration with other industries, internal portfolio management, high quality deliverables and capability programs that will ensure longterm viability.
• Secondly the broadening and honing the skills of the management to ensure high quality decisionmaking, cultural change, competitive enterprise architectures and a maturity level across the organisation that can sustain enterprise architecture maturity assessments of 4-5.

To achieve all this the enterprise architects need to develop the roadmap for the journey towards excellence - then implement it so that they can reap the rewards of advanced TOGAF thinking.

ArchiMate® 2.0, an Open Group Standard, is now fully aligned with TOGAF®

The Open Group released ArchiMate® 2.0, the latest version of the organization’s open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture. Developed by the ArchiMate Forum of The Open Group, the latest technical standard is now more aligned with TOGAF®, the world’s most popular Enterprise Architecture framework. As a result, enterprise architects using the language can improve the way key business and IT stakeholders collaborate and adapt to change.

ArchiMate 2.0 improves collaboration through clearer understanding across multiple functions, including business executives, enterprise architects, systems analysts, software engineers, business process consultants and infrastructure engineers. The new standard enables the creation of fully integrated models of an organization’s Enterprise Architecture, the motivation behind it, and the programs, projects and migration paths to implement it. ArchiMate already follows terms defined in the TOGAF framework, and version 2.0 of the specification enables modeling through the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM).
 
“ArchiMate 2.0 provides enterprise architects with the tools and concepts necessary to create a consistent, integrated model that aligns more closely with TOGAF,” said Allen Brown, CEO of The Open Group. “This new standard will increase interoperability and help enterprise architects establish a common language across the enterprise, raising the value and awareness of the discipline.”
 
“Architects wanted modeling through the TOGAF ADM in order to create an architecture more streamlined with the world’s most popular Enterprise Architecture framework, and the updates made in ArchiMate 2.0 were a reflection of this member feedback,” said Henry Franken, Chairman of The Open Group ArchiMate Forum. “We look forward to seeing enterprise architects around the globe use ArchiMate 2.0 in their quest to more closely align IT and the business.” 
 
ArchiMate 2.0 includes the following features and benefits: 

• Improved business and IT alignment through Enterprise Architecture modeling aligned with the TOGAF ADM
• Ability to better support the preparation and management of business change, application rationalization, program and portfolio management and outsourcing scenarios
• Ability to perform cost analysis and business case calculations
• A Motivation extension to model stakeholders, drivers for change, business goals, principles and requirements
• Implementation and Migration extensions to support project portfolio management, gap analysis and transition and migration planning
• Improved consistency and examples, as well as additional clarification updates from the previous version

The following ArchiMate 2.0 certification programs will also be available:

• Individual Certification: Enables enterprise architects and trainers around the globe to demonstrate their knowledge of the ArchiMate Standard
• Open Group Training Accreditation: Provides an authoritative and independent assurance of the quality and relevance of training courses available
• Tool Certification Program: Ensures that architecture artifacts created with a certified tool are conformant to the ArchiMate language

Why there are always questions about EA – holistic EA, EITA… and why enterprise transformation is still slow and painful ? To get an inside view of the question, we decided to set up a multi cultural workgroup in 2010 which gathered six C-level executives coming from large companies and different industries (Bank, Industry, Retail, Telecommunication, IT); the outcome is beyond previous expectation : IT and non IT executives are sharing the same urgency and leverages to improve the way enterprise is managing transformation:

• 1st: to make the information system more agile, enterprise architecture best practices are key to manage that
• 2nd: to make people actors of transformation
• 3rd: to foster enterprise transformation requires to adapt governance to new business model.

The presentation will go through best practices and C-Level advice in order to concurrently manage the 3 transformation leverages and to make enterprise architects task easier and transformation timeframe more predictable.

The enterprise architecture is having a difficult time converging on a consensus as to what business architecture in particular, and enterprise architecture in general, is about. There is a proliferation of definitions of both concepts, and all of these definitions are nitpicked from within the community. As the discipline seeks true professional status, we will have to some agreement as to what it is we are doing. What is it about the subject, or the way we think about the subject, that is making this agreement so elusive?

This presentation will explore the many unspoken and often incompatible assumptions we make about what we do, and what we can do to make them explicit and perhaps ultimately reconcile them.

Those who attend this session will:

• Learn that the most consequential unspoken assumption we make is that we are all making the same assumptions.
• learn that as architects, we ought to think architecturally about what our profession is about.

From the Cloud to Mobile to IT consumerization, the opportunities for Enterprise Architects to lead has never been greater. While they need to embrace a new level of knowledge and provide accurate insights within and between key business and IT portfolios, they also need the ability to turn IT chaos into IT harmony.

As such, Enterprise Portfolio Management must take on a new urgency in today's business world where the need for structuring for maximum business and IT agility is greater than ever.

In this presentation, we will explore what every EA must do about the new portfolio optimization opportunities and how to improve your portfolio on a sustainable basis. By recognizing that the portfolios are interlinked and agreeing on what must be tackled, the business can raise its expectations of the EA team.

Those who attend this session will learn:

• How sustainable enterprise portfolio management is foundational to successful transformations
• Why enterprise architects are uniquely positioned to lead enterprise Whyportfolio management programs.

In 2010, Daljit published an interesting article entitled ‘Characteristics, roles and responsibilities of the modern day Systems Architect‘. This presentation will explore the elements discussed in the article in which the following was presented;

The word architect has always been synonymous with the design and construction of buildings. However, the IT community has now adopted this term to describe individuals whose primary objectives are centred on the design and delivery of process and system blueprints. This term architect, independent of the selected architectural framework the organisation has adopted, is now appended onto too many roles in IT departments, particularly those previously associated with subject matter experts.

This tagging has resulted in confusion surrounding the demarcation between that of the activity and that of the responsibility of the individual. During this presentation we provide a brief description of the main architectural roles(Enterprise, Solution & Technical) , the associated duties, the key ‘real world’ deliverables and some basic characteristics and experience one should expect from such an individual.

Those attending this session will:

• Understanding of the Roles & Responsibilities of the different type of Architects
• Gain an overview of example Real World Deliverables one would expect
• Get an insight into the ’characteristics’ and experience one should look for when recruiting an architecting.

Enterprise Business Architecture, is in a sense, a model of business capabilities. Business capabilities help realize enterprise strategies and typically bring the true enterprise flavor as it operates at a level above internal departmental boundaries. The ambit of business capabilities now spreads far outside of 'external' enterprise boundary - in an increasingly flat world, no company dreams to create all business capabilities in house. It is more important than ever before to have a clear view of 'core' and 'noncore' capabilities, and understand

• How the capabilities interact or complement one another (synergy)
• How to leverage the best capabilities from the best providers
• What capabilities are duplicate or redundant
• The gaps between strategy and execution

We plan to propose a model and discuss how by applying the model of business capabilities, enterprises can manage and guide their own evolution through the world of mergers and divestitures.

Those attending this sessions will learn about:

• Business Capability Modeling and its benefits.

Jean-Claude Franchitti, Cognizant

We are still in Cloud Computing's childhood, where everyone is trying out new approaches, bringing varied products and services to market with little regard for consistency and commonality across platforms. For Cloud Computing to enter its adolescence, however, the consensus is that we require standards for interoperability and portability that cement the Cloud's status as a vendor-independent model for enabling on-demand access to IT resources.

To fill this void, numerous organizations are hammering out various standards and semantic models, in the hopes of defining a common understanding of the various elements of Cloud Computing in order to establish broad-based interoperability and portability among Cloud deployments. And yet, the sheer number of such efforts belies their effectiveness, as the cacophony of voices defeats the purpose of establishing semantic interoperability.

Attendees of this session will get a snapshot of the current status of Cloud semantic interoperability efforts, the problems they're focusing on, and the current roadblocks they're struggling with.

A complete approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires:

• A framework describing architectural viewpoints
• A language for architectural descriptions
• A method for constructing architectures.

TOGAF® 9, an Open Group standard, is the defacto global standard for Enterprise Architecture. It is used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. ArchiMate®, an open and independent modelling language for enterprise architecture, provides instruments to enable enterprise architects to describe, analyze and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. It is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.

Just as an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains. standard is the leading language for integrated EA modelling, describing the business, application and technology layers and their relationships. In a recent update of the language, two extensions have been added for modelling the motivation for the architecture (e.g., goals, principles and business requirements) and implementation and migration planning.

Based on a comprehensive case study of application portfolio rationalization in a post-merger insurance company, this presentation will show how ArchiMate is used with TOGAF to improve business efficiency.

Those who attend this session will gain a:

• Short introduction to TOGAF® and the ArchiMate® EA modeling language
• Demonstration of a complete real life case study.

Public administrations, businesses, standardisation bodies and academia produce many business process models, data models, code lists, etc. These artefacts, if (re)used, can facilitate semantic interoperability in Europe. Promoting a common way to describe them would make it possible for everyone to search and discover them.

The European Commission, in the context of the ISA programme, has created a Working Group of Experts to define a common European metadata vocabulary to describe artefacts relevant to interoperability. The Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) will enable the description of artefacts in a common way throughout Europe. From mid 2012, the Joinup platform, implemented under the ISA programme, will make it possible for ADMS implementers to upload the descriptions of their artefacts according to ADMS. This will enable the creation of a federation of semantic artefacts. Through this federation, semantic artefacts will become retrievable and available via a single point of access.

Those attending this session will learn to understand:

• How ADMS can be used to describe artefact in a common way
• How the Commission will build a federation of semantic asset repositories to facilitate semantic interoperability in Europe.
• The importance of semantic interoperability for Europe.

ArchiMate® is an Open Group standard for describing/modeling the Enterprise Architecture (i.e. business, application and technology layer). But what stops (describing your) architecture and where does design begin? To what level of detail should you describe the enterprise architecture? What is the relationship to other domain languages?

Those who attend this session will see our practices in:

• How Archimate is used to describe the artefacts used in the business, application and technology layer and the relationship between these domains;
• The relationship to other domain languages;
• Motivation for the level of details;
• The value added in large programs.

In this presentation we give a short introduction on the popular Business Model Canvas and explain how to apply this as a business architect. Business Models help the modern architect to present architectural views in a business relevant context! The power of the Business Model Canvas approach is illustrated with a case that shows how a large research organisation innovates its business model in a tough economic climate. But what is your next step?

Once you have your Business Model defined, you should be able to relate this to your enterprise architecture. We present a well thought through approach on how to relate business model canvasses to architecture approaches and models to be able to create realistic implementation roadmaps.

Those who attend this session will learn

• About business models and innovation… Why and what?
• An approach to relate business models to enterprise architecture, based on a case study “Business Model Innovation at a large research institute.”

Based on experience from numerous projects in global enterprises, we observe that EAM brings the most significant benefits once it is mature enough and properly anchored in the organization. At our customer companies, we see a shift from the typical bisection between business and IT to a central area for business and IT planning with a strong EAM focus as a necessary step to optimal positioning of the EAM in the organization.

• We present this finding in a case study comparing one big and one small insurance company.
• We present the evolution of the EAM from a separated function for business and IT to an integrated enterprise-wide organization unit. Referring to two of our customers – a big and small insurance company - we elaborate on three stages of development of the EAM function in the organization. We explain the advantages and disadvantages of these stages from the point of view of our clients.
• We present the way to the “perfect model” in which the EAM manages an overarching architecture process as an enterprise-wide governance function and evaluate its value for two enterprise sizes.

Based on the elements of the architecture capability as described in TOGAF® 9, we established differently the architecture board in these organizations. Also the interplay of relevant roles, in particular the architects and their involvement in the enterprise-wide process model is different in these two cases. Taking the TOGAF® 9 architecture capability as starting point, we developed it further together with our customers and derived specific training programs for enterprise architects enabling realization of the holistic TOGAF®9-like EAM function in described organization types. We trained about 300 architects in these organizations. We present respective findings from these projects and enrich the core content of this speech by comparisons to other branches such as telecommunication and automotive.

Those attending this session will:

• Learn about features, advantages and disadvantages of different types of EA anchoring in a business transformation context in big and small insurance companies
• Learn about the curriculum for enterprise architects enabling realization of the holistic TOGAF®9-like EAM function in different organization types
• They will get an inspiration for an organizational change to optimally support transformation based on examples from insurance , automotive and telecommunications.

There is a fast growing application segment for virtualization management. These applications span the management of virtual servers, network and storage resources. However, there is not an open standard for these APIs.

Similar work in this area is exemplified by the success of DMTF - OVF (Distributed Management Task Force – Open Virtualization Format). [1] The OVF xml data type definition is widely adopted by virtual management system. The OVF XML is capable of defining virtual resources require to create a virtual server (VS) and the software manifest to provision the VS. This OVF is created and used by the Management Console (MC). OVF is ubiquitous standard, which owes is success to VMware’s adoption and leadership in the DMTF standard process. However there are no similar standards for advanced and specialized virtual management functions, such as network Intrusion Prevention Systems. Such functionality typically runs within a Privileged Virtual Machine (PVM). The PVM is commonly running a UNIX or Linux based OS to support the general needs of the advanced virtual management application. This presentation will describe a new proposed AVOS standards effort. This proposed standard will benefit the advanced virtual management application by providing a standardized set of APIs within the PVM to monitor and control the virtual system.

Enterprise 3.0 - How "Big Data" paradigm rewriting tomorrows Enterprise Architecture Direction Businesses sit on information foundation and therefore on data and, and every second that passes, today's enterprise generate some more. Business now requires power to be adaptive and predictive.

Enterprise Architecture needs lot more than business, technology, information and application architecture to be future proof. Enterprise must go beyond "Build to Last" to "Build to Adapt". Innovation and "blue Ocean" strategy, without any doubt will drive the next generation enterprise strategy and therefore tomorrow’s EA. On the other hand, globalization mandates optimized operational efficiency and demands business and technology transformation to be competitive. "Big Data" is now drawing the line between success and failure of these business imperatives.

This session will take a deep dive into Big Data driven Enterprise Architecture. It will show how Data has become a game changer and why do we need to consider Big Data seriously as part of our Enterprise Strategy and Architecture. Welcome to Enterprise 3.0

Those attending this session will learn:

• Why can we ensure an enterprise to Adapt with next generation market directions with Business, Information, Technology, Application and Security architecture

• Why Data is so important and why do we need to consider Big Data Paradigm

• What is Enterprise 3.0

• How do we create a next generation EA that builds your enterprise foundation to adapt and sustain.

In this session I will discuss how the Architecture Management Office concept combined with a formal change management strategy can be used to establish Enterprise Architecture.

The Architecture Management Office (AMO) provides architecture governance and architectural advice, owns and drive the process of translating business vision and strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and improving the key requirements, principles and models that describe the enterprise's future state and enable its evolution.

Gartner’s Change Management Framework (CMF) outlines the elements of EA-enabled organizational change management as a way to overcome the top barriers of change and thereby ensuring a more successful architecture effort. The model is simpler and more practical than many academic approaches pitched by the change management industry.

The clear benefit of taking this approach is it overcomes the obstacles to change and ensures a clear link between Enterprise business- and IT-strategy.

The AMO+CMF ultimately warrants a fit-for-purpose enterprise architecture that is agile and transparent, capable of responding faster to market changes.

Those who attend this session will learn how the:

• AMO ensures high architecture quality and maintain 'fit for purpose' state of the enterprise
• AMO provides a focused approach for developing advanced business & technology architecture strategies
• AMO accelerates innovation & time to market for creating architectures & business solutions.

Thales is a world leader in mission-critical information systems for defense and security, aerospace and transportation. Information security has always be one of Thales major focus. The sensitive information management required by Thales activities have usually given reason for this . But it is also because security is Thales’ raison d’être. This is why a strong information security practice was already present before the creation of the group enterprise architecture department in 2010. This presentation will discuss how the enterprise architecture practice has changed the information security ways of working.

Those attending this session will learn about :

• The distribution of activities between the enterprise architecture and information security departments
• The enterprise architecture practice adjustment to address security specificities

Demands and wishes from managers, users and other stakeholders, or in other words the business requirements, are the basis for any organizational change project.

The quality of the enterprise architecture, the project architectures, and the IT systems developed based on these architectures, is largely determined by the way the business requirements are fulfilled. Also within TOGAF®9 requirements are important. This requires a systematic approach for requirements analysis and management; especially for the business requirements that determine the contents of the enterprise architecture, and not only for the detailed IT requirements.

In this presentation we will present our approach for business requirements management, and show how this can be modeled and analyzed using the ArchiMate® language and supporting tools.

Those who attend this session will learn:

• A systematic approach for business requirements management - modeling and analyzing business requirements using ArchiMate.

In the past thirty years, roughly representing the formative and growth years of the IT security industry as we know it, we've seen the same plot play out over and over. It goes roughly like this:

1. Mainstream IT vendor(s) fail to adequately consider security, leaving vulnerabilities and unmet security functionality needs
2. Attackers take advantage
3. Nimble startups create bolt-on or point solutions to fill the gap,
4. Creating yet another niche security segment.

This dynamic creates many challenges for enterprises. In hindsight, it's easy to recognize that had operating system and platform providers made different choices ten or fifteen years ago, whole categories of security products would
never have been needed.

In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, new cloud security product niches are emerging by the boatload. Analyst firms are starting to label and categorize cloud security solutions. Gartner recently published a Hype Cycle on cloud security which described no less than 35 new categories of security products devoted to securing cloud computing.

This two part presentation will first explore lessons learned from the evolution of the security industry, and by looking at cloud security through the lens of what's best for cloud customers, will try to make some sense of how cloud security technologies will or should evolve over time. The second part of the presentation will discuss current cloud security standards
initiatives, and opportunities for future standards work.

Cloud computing products and services are a range of options among sourcing choices that include insourcing, hosting and outsourcing and shared services. The session will look at how to achieve successful adoption and delivery of cloud products and services evolving in the market from consumer and provider perspectives.

Selecting the right Cloud products and services means understanding the appropriate commercial issues and business fit as well as the characteristics of how technology works in an on-demand, one to many model. Often this means choices between on-premise and off-premise solutions and issues around how to adopt, migrate and integrate Cloud products and services and with existing IT and business practices. Cloud products and services can be discovered, selected , purchased and delivered across a wide variety of channels from web sites, mobile devices to apps stores and .

The session will introduce the work by the CBA project In The Open Group Cloud Computing Work Group exploring published and current work on decision strategies and metrics to align different stakeholders and industry roles to enable and maximize successful user adoption and provider sales of cloud products and services.

The session will cover

• How to identify the key steps in a Cloud Products and Services selection and delivery lifecycle, avoiding tactical level decisions resulting in cloud solution lock-in and lock-out in one or more of the stages?
• How cloud consumers can identify where cloud products and services can augment and improve their business models and capabilities?
• How cloud providers can identify what types of cloud products and services they can develop and deliver successful to meet consumer and market needs?
• What kinds of competitive differentiators to look for in consumer choice and in building providers value propositions?
• What security standards, risk and certifications expertise are needed complement understanding Cloud Products and service advice?
• What kinds of pricing, revenue and cost management on-demand models are needed to incentivize and build successful cloud products and service consumption and delivery?
• How to deal with contractual issues and governance across the whole lifecycle of Cloud Product and services from the perspectives of consumers and providers.

The session will provide examples of decision methods and visualization techniques (introducing how a new modeling notation CIEL in the Open group is being used for his purpose) to demonstrate predictive Cloud Business performance metrics to support consumers, buyers and OEMs, SIs, ISVs and VARs in aligning and measuring their successful selection, delivery and use of cloud products and services

"It is highly desirable that an architecture description be encoded in a standard language, to enable a standard approach to the description of architecture semantics and their re-use among different tools." (TOGAF® 9.1) Using the most appropriate OMG modeling standards (UML, BPMN, pieces of SysML, BMM, ODM, SoaML, ...) and providing extensions (UML proviles) dedicated to TOGAF, this presentation describes how each diagram artifact defined by TOGAF can be represented. Defining an appropriate mapping, organizing these artifacts within viewpoints and providing dedicated extensions provides a modeling support that can adddress each stakeholder's concerns, and has the expressive power of these modeling standards.

This exercise provides examples of artifacts modeling support, that helps companies during the preliminary phase of the ADM. Using modeling standards has the advantage of being able to use a large number of modeling tools on the market, and to provide a solution familiar to the numerous practitioners of UML or BPMN. It give a concrete start to use these broad and generic standards (TOGAF, UML, ...)in a focused way.

Those who attend this session will:

• Discover how to model Enterprise Architecture using UML & BPMN
• Get examples of Enterprise Architecture models related to the main TOGAF diagram artifacts.
• Learn a concrete way to define in your context which viewpoints and vues to support.

Social Business creates some new challenges for enterprise architecture and for IT architecture. A social business is by definition an extended enterprise. Information Technology is a more or less essential component of a social business – not just a support function but actually a defining element of doing business. The information technology services that make a social business social are overwhelmingly delivered out of the Cloud. In fact a social business can be envisaged as a sort of Cloud (but not just computing). It involves collaboration in networks of people at all levels both within and (potentially) outside the organization. That in turn means that not everything can or should be captured as fixed rules - that we need to actively engage with change and uncertainty.

This presentation will look at both how to do enterprise architecture under these circumstances and how the IT architecture of this ecosystem of parties and systems can benefit from Cloud models.

Those who attend this session will learn:

• An EA view on new business models
• A vision of how the ecosystem can work
• An (extended) enterprise IT architecture approach.

Goals are translated into requirements on a possible solution. This translation from goal to requirements, and thus from problem to solution,­ is guided by principles. Principles are more general and need to be specialized into requirements to enforce that solutions conform to principles. Principles and requirements are strongly related. Architecture principles can be considered as general requirements that govern and constrain all possible designs (Architecture decisions) of some enterprise architecture in a given context.

Enterprise architecture elements can be traced back to the goals, principles and requirements that motivated their introduction. Reversely, requirements-related elements can be traced forward to the services, processes and applications that implement these elements. This traceability is needed to successfully analyze and manage the impact of changes to an enterprise.

Those who attend this sessio will learn about:

• Architecture priciples
• Architecture Decisions

The Open Service Federation Framework addresses the need for automated, rule-based sharing of service and service artifacts across different domains within an enterprise or across enterprises. These domains or enterprises may have their service registries implemented on different technology stacks. The framework allows the federation architect to define the relationship model between the different domains of an enterprise and set up the rules for the sharing of service and service artifacts between the federated domains. The framework, besides creating the entry for the service in the registry of the target domain and triggering the appropriate workflow for its adoption, also creates the proxy for the service in the mediation infrastructure (typically an enterprise service bus) of the target domain, as and when the service is accepted.

Those who attend this session will learn about:

• Automation of rule-based sharing of web services and web service artifacts
• Using open standards and open source technologies to make SOA infrastructure from disparate technology stacks, interact and inter-operate
• Achieving a 'democratic' style of federation in an enterprise whereby the federation is not necessarily centrally controlled

Transforming a business often requires focus on people, process and technology. While a lot of effort is spent on process and technology, the people who will sustain any change and drive real innovation are often an afterthought.

What role does EA play in building a team culture for a sustainable transformation initiative? How do you introduce EA as a new concept in an Organisation? Where do you start when no formal processes or practices exist? How do you turn around an IT organisation that has suffered from no leadership or strategy?

This case study outlines answers to some of these questions and outlines how to establish EA in a way that promotes idea sharing and mutual respect.

Those attending this session will learn:

• To Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!
• That Sustainable Transformation is about People & Relationships That

Along with the continuously increasing cloud computing momentum the integration of applications and business processes in the context of cloud computing, typically a highly distributed environment, is posing some newer challenges and resurrecting some of the old ones.

While we have made significant progress in the application and process integration realm in the past two decades with better disciplines of SOA, data handling and BPM, in a rush to combine and leverage the information assets of multiple cloud based applications there appears to be a re-emergence of the older point-to-point (P2P) and ad hoc integration which, as we have already witnessed before, will invariably lead to the expensive, rigid and unreliable “integration spaghetti”. Transactionality, end-to-end transaction visibility and exception handling are also challenges for a multi-app/multi-cloud solution.

This presentation will summarize the main integration patterns applicable to various styles of cloud implementation, identify some of the key challenges and suggest appropriate remedial strategies.

Those attending this session will learn about:

• Key challeges of application and process integration in cloud computing environments
• Remedial strategies.

Knowing when and where to engage an architect is a critical factor in successfully managing an IT portfolio, particularly in organizations where architects are scarce -- and often expensive -- resources. Many times it is clear which projects would benefit from the participation of an architect; in other cases, the decision is not so obvious. In these not-so-obvious cases, a structured means of assessing a project's architectural significance is key.

This instructional session presents a lightweight, flexible set of techniques and guidelines for assessing the architectural significance of a project to aid in determining when to engage an architect. Using real-world examples, we will demonstrate these techniques and their application, and will explore how they can be tailored to fit IT organizations of different sizes and with various portfolio mixes.

Those attending this session will learn about:

• Techniques for assessing the architectural significance / complexity of a proposed project
• Sample architectural assessments demonstrating the techniques
• Guidelines for tailoring the techniques for use within audience members' organizations.

Boundaryless Information Flow has never been more crucial than now in a post-industrial knowledge-based economy. Becoming an analytical competititor and/or master of service delivery requires the marshalling of enterprise knowledge to enable competitive analytics and decision support. Whether the enterprise is a private sector company, a government department, academia or a non-government organization, the ability to leverage the extensive information holdings now available require a focused knowledge/information architecture that deals with information in all of its forms and gets the right information to the right person at the right time. This presentation elaborates the creation of an enterprise knowledge architecture in an extended TOGAF 9 context going from vision to execution. It incorporates the latest innovations in competitive analytics, government (including defence/defense), the Data Management Association(DAMA/DMBOK) and the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA/COBIT).

Cloud Computing is no longer a buzzword, it is here to stay. Characteristics like on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, rapid elasticity and pay per use capture the attention of every CIO pursuing infrastructure, cost reduction and service quality improvement. The benefits are well known but justifying a migration to the cloud may not be so easy to communicate and, above all, quantify.

Most of time, the problem resides on the lack of trusty information to develop a proper business case to justify a Cloud Computing service adoption. To develop a business case for Cloud Computing adoption, two key questions must be answered:

• Are cloud services needed to address business needs?
• If so, which service model would be the most effective (both operationally and financially)?

These questions require qualitative analysis (business value, strategic importance, appetite for risk, financial investment, resource availability) and quantitative analysis (on-premise vs. cloud service cost model, differentiated service model (e.g. IaaS vs. SaaS), cost saving). T

he apparent simplicity of the above analysis hides the complexity in getting it done correctly. We propose a 2-step approach

• (i) use process-driven Application Portfolio Analysis to categorize application on 3 key dimensions: technical fit, business fit (including security) and cost, to determine which applications have the highest potential for cloud migration; &
• (ii) build the business-case for cloud-migration based on facts resulting from applying Enterprise Architecture capabilities to each high-potential application, thus determining not only potential cost savings from moving to off-premise services, but mostly by fully scoping required transformation needs and investment to get you there.

For this to be carried out, a combination of EA-specific & Financial Analysis capabilities is required (i) modeling and relating business, application and technology architectures; (ii) analyzing architecture towards detailing application costs, business impacts and technical impacts; & (iii) financial modeling to quantify benefits, costs, and key decision-making financials (eg cash-flow dynamics, net present value & pay-back). We believe that adopting this approach will bring Cloud discussions to more factual, value-driven and “CxO appealing” speech, thus helping to steer through the much-hyped though inevitable Cloud trend.

Those attending this session will learn:

• About the adoption of an Application Portfolio Management approach to focus Cloud migration efforts
• About Use Enterprise Architecture capabilities to fully scope cloud migration benefits, costs & risks
• How to strengthen the case for cloud migration with sound, fact-based financial arguments.

More and more, infrastructure is being purchased as a product (Cloud). This decreases the autonomy that many construction-oriented infrastructure architects and senior infrastructure designers have been enjoying until now in selecting the resources, generating the technical design and in realizing the final solution (building and constructing). Whereas the architecture of
the solution was long regarded as an implicit fact (which was part of the expertise that experienced designers and constructors could apply easily and without much ado), it is now necessary that the party requiring the functionality and the party providing the functionality have a clear and unambiguous discussion on this matter, without a priori entering into a discussion on the technical aspects.

What we do want, instead, is an insight into the functionality and the quality of the products we select and purchase. This is where a more mature form of infrastructure architecture comes in. This lecture does explain what this renewed infrastructure architecture looks like and how it is possible to get to this level.

Those who attend this session will learn:

• How to shift from a constructional to a functional view on infrastructure
• How to create functional models of (cloud) infrastructure solutions, using ArchiMate® 2.0 (which luckily enough introduces the infrastructure function!)
• About the importance of integration facilities in a Cloud world (resulting in distributed infrastructure landscapes), including a short-list of infrastructure facilities to focus on the coming year.
