Business Case? • Costs • Tactical Benefits • Strategic Benefits • Cost Benefit Analysis
Costs • Hardware and software • Development • Support
Tactical Benefits • Productivity improvement • Competitive gain • Space savings • Cost savings • Improved cash flow • Lower cost per student and better quality
Strategic Benefits • Improved customer service • Improved visibility and image • Improved quality • Increase market share • Regulatory compliance • Improved information management • Attract high caliber staff
Is it Worth the Efforts? • Unlock your information assets! • Control paper and electronic processes • Platform for e-business
Mission & Vision Business Line A Business Line Z Process A1 Process A2 Process Z1 Process Z2 IT Appl. A1 IT Appl. A2 IT Appl. Z1 IT Appl. Z2 Deployment of IT Systems Traditional Approach
Traditional Approach Drawbacks Reviews by US agencies and departments have shown that: “Attempting to build major systems without first completing an enterprise architecture often results in systems that are duplicative, not well integrated, unnecessarily costly to maintain and interface, and do not effectively optimize mission performance". (CIO-Architecture Guide)
Information at KFUPM A New Definition • Recognition of information as a strategic resource • to realize the vision and mission of an Enterprise, • Identifying the priority Business areas which can • be greatly served by exploiting information asset, • Periodic assessments of the enterprise’s progress • towards its target environment, • Alignment with the enterprise’s strategic plan.
Information at KFUPM A New Definition • Information is more than data: • Information = Data + context (business functions) • Context – Bussiness Functions (Functional View)
Enterprise “Information” Architecture • Enterprise Information Architecture • In Short • Enterprise Architecture • Emphasis on Global View (Sharing Information) • and, Functional perspective (Business Lines) • What information is needed to support the • business?
Enterprise Architecture • Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a strategic • information asset base, which defines: • The mission (function), • The information necessary to perform the mission, • The technologies necessary to perform the mission.
EA Answers to ??? • What information is needed to support the • business? • What IT applications are needed to provide • information? • What technology is needed to support the • applications?
EA Frameworks • There are four candidate frameworks. These frameworks • are: • The Zackman’s EA Framework, • Department of Defense (DoD) Command, Control, • Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance • and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Architecture Framework, • Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework (TEAF), • Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF).
