IT Monarchy IT Professionals make IT decisions. Enterprises implement IT monarchies in many different ways, often involving IT professionals from both corporate teams and business units. This group proposes architecture rules to the senior IT management team. The senior IT management team ensures the clarity of the rules and owns the enforcement of architectural standards. • Individuals or groups of IT senior managers.
Feudal • The feudal model is based on the traditional model where the business unit make their own decisions, optimizing their local needs. • The feudal modal was not very common because most enterprises were looking for synergies across business units. • Unit leaders, key process owners or their delegates.
Federal • The federal decision making model has a long tradition in government. • Federal arrangements attempt to balance the responsiblities and accountability of multiple governing bodies. • Shared by HSC senior management and other College/Unit senior management. May include senior IT management.
IT Duopoly • IT Duopoly is a two party arrangement where decisions represent a bilateral agreement between IT executives and one other group (business unit). • IT senior management and one other group, e. g., HSC senior management or College/Unit senior management.
