ARIS Expert Paper 5 Integration with IT service management environments Many organizations deploy IT service management systems for operational management of their IT infrastructure, which store important data relating to the managed infrastructure in a configuration management database (CMDB). ARIS Solution for Enter - prise Architecture Manage ment is able to import this instance and infrastructure information into ARIS IT Architect e. g. in order to conduct a business impact analysis in the context of scenario planning. 6 Special roles within an enterprise architecture team In the context of enterprise architecture management, large IT organizations in particular have adopted specific user roles, which despite some variation in name focus on the same or similar sets of tasks, as described below. IT System Manager: � Documenting and disseminating system information via the intranet � Planning system transitions based on life cycle and strategic planning � Providing IT project managers with specification guidelines that comply with corporate IT standards and business needs IT Architect: � Establishing applications and technologies based on the existing IT landscape � Detailing, documenting, and disseminating enterprise-wide IT standards � Creating a long-term IT architecture framework � Integrating and involving process management in the strategic planning framework and IT roadmap definition IT Development Planner: � Recording the as-is IT landscape within the organization’s core processes � Deriving a to-be IT deployment plan � Continuous updating of the IT plan Architecture Manager: � Strategic deployment of an architecture framework � Merging of IT standards and IT system directory 14 Fig. 21: ARIS and CMDB
7 Summary ARIS Expert Paper By creating a seamless interconnect between IT and process architecture in a single repository, from strategy through to infrastructure level, ARIS Solution for Enterprise Architecture Management makes it possible for the first time to fully align IT systems with business needs. Benefits include being able to identify which critical business processes at which locations are affected and will therefore need to be part of the migration project when replacing an IT system. Planners and architecture managers can navigate the entire enterprise architecture, following object relationships, and take informed decisions based on a holistic view of the company and a shared methodology. Users can compare the IT standards and target architectures defined in the repository with the actual situation and create a roadmap for future development. Importantly, ARIS IT Architect facilitates organization-wide enterprise architecture management by supporting distributed teams. The resulting architecture information can be documented in the intranet with the help of ARIS Business Publisher, a dynamic publishing tool, in a way that meets the needs of specific groups. In addition to designing enterprise architectures, companies can use this functionality to set up process and IT portals. Bringing together business process design and IT architectures allows coordinated management of these two areas, enabling the kind of integrative approach that is particularly important for successful enterprise architecture management, given the interdependency of processes and IT structures. 15
