Overview of this book

Most organizations face challenges in defining and achieving evolved enterprise architecture practices, which can be a very lengthy process even if implemented correctly. Developers, for example, can build better solutions only if they receive the necessary design information from architects, and decision-makers can make appropriate changes within the organization only if they know the implications of doing so. The book starts by addressing the problems faced by enterprise architecture practitioners and provides solutions based on an agile approach to enterprise architecture, using ArchiMate® 3.1 as an industry standard and Sparx EA as the modeling tool. You'll learn with the help of a fictional organization that has three business units, each expecting something different from you as the enterprise architect. You'll build the practice, satisfy the different requirements of each business unit, and share the knowledge with others so they can follow your steps. Toward the end, you'll learn how to put the diagrams and the content that you have developed into documents, presentations, and web pages that can be published and shared with any stakeholder. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build a functional enterprise architecture practice that supports every part of your organization. You'll also have developed the necessary skills to populate your enterprise architecture repository with references and artifacts.

Chapter 7: Enterprise-Level Technology Architecture Models

As we turn our attention to user story 3, we see that all of its activities involve technology, and our primary audience is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). This might lead us to believe that we need some highly technical models. But that is not true!

While the subject matter is technology, as with other models, the level of detail in the technology layer model should be tailored to the audience. Unlike previous user stories, this one requires that we have an enterprise view of technology. That means we need to examine all of the existing technologies at ABC Trading. We need to understand where they are used and for what purposes.

In this chapter, we will first look at the behavioral elements of the ArchiMate® 3.1 specification and how they are used. We will then turn our attention to building the catalogs we will need to identify duplicate technologies. The sections covered in this chapter are as follows:
