Enterprise Architecture Catalog++
Blog: Brian's Blog - Enterprise Strategy, Architecture and Management
Every dream about having a catalog of the complete design of your enterprise? One that not only gives you and inventory and status of components, but also gives you the relationships between those to create higher level objects: Business and Operational Models, Capabilities, Processes. How about linking in how these play against your business and technical strategies or assessing those strategies against your abilities to achieve? Well the wait is almost over, because I’m almost finished building it!
Several decades ago when I met John Zachman for the first time I was impressed by his curiosity about what I was doing at Rockwell. I was using a CAD/CAM system to design a factory. Not only the floor plan, but the systems, applications, information flow, etc. Several years later after John had released his brilliance regarding Enterprise Architecture I got to meet up with his again. From our talk and his insight I’ve been working on creating a CAD for Enterprise(TM) system. One that would enable Enterprise Architects to work with Executive Teams to design the enterprise of their dreams like designing a house. While the UX/UI will take a while longer, the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) database which is what the application will rest upon is almost complete with a usable text-based UI. I will be considering just a few Testers for this MVP in the next few months as well as possible partnerships with graphical design tool vendors**. Details to follow on how-to sign up.
