1. Click on “Find” in the top bar
to access your model explorer.
2. Expand the ADOmoney Bank subfolder
with the name “02 Business Architecture”.
3. Open the “Business Capability Map”
model.
THE ADOMONEY BANK BUSINESS CAPABILITY MAP
The business capability map provides an overview of all ADOmoney Bank’s business capabilities, from enterprise management and support, to channel capabilities. This time, the focus lies on the “Business Partner Management” capability and the analysis of its IT fitness.
Step 1: Open the model explorer. Step 2: Expand the group (folder) “01 ADOmoney Bank”, as well as the groups “02 EAM” and “02 Business Architecture”.
Step 3: Double-click the model “01 Business Capability Map”.
ALL DETAILS IN THE APPLICATION LANDSCAPE
Drilling down further, the application landscape provides an overview of selected application components assigned to the „Business Process Management“ capability. What’s more, the accompanying information, such as the provided and used interfaces of surrounding applications, also contribute to the detailed view of the capability at hand.
Step 1: Open the model explorer. Step 2: Expand the group (folder) “01 ADOmoney Bank”, as well as the groups “02 EAM” and “03 Information Systems Architecture”. Step 3: Double-click the model “1a Application Architecture V1”.
THE INSIGHTS DASHBOARD
The Insights Dashboard automatically gathers and visually portrays all key information about your objects. In this case, the dashboard displays extended information about the “Partner System (PAS)” application component, or more precisely its application score, surrounding application components and used system software.
Step 1: Click on “Find” from the navigation menu on top. Step 2: Search for the the initials “PAS”. Step 3:Right-click the “Partner System (PAS)” application component. Step 4: From the “Open” section of the context menu select “Insights” to open up the Insights Dashboard for this application.
MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT
The Matrix shows your application components, the information they access in form of business objects, as well as the degree of data manipulation using the “Read/Write” method. Based on this graph, we see there’s data redundancy within the organization, meaning that the existing application components manipulate the data in a form which they are not allowed to.
Step 1: Click on “Find” from the navigation menu on top. Step 2: Expand the “Search options and filters”. Step 3: Click the “Object” filter and select “Application Component”. Step 4: Mark the displayed results. Step 5: Right-click the marked objects and select “Reports“ from the context menu. Step 6: Choose “Matrix” and then “Application Component > accesses> Business Object”. Step 7: Click the icon “Change visualization” on the upper right-hand corner of the screen and select “Access”.
DETAILED LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS PORTFOLIO
The portfolio view compares all your application components based on certain criteria. In this instance, the application portfolio is evaluated based on IT Fitness, Business Fitness and Strategic Importance. From this, we can see that the „Partner System (PAS)“ application component is evaluated insufficiently, in terms of its IT and Business Fitness.
Step 1: Click on “Find”. Step 2: Expand the “Search options and filters”. Step 3: Click the “Object” filter and select “Application Component”. Step 4: Mark the displayed results. Step 5: Right-click the marked objects and select “Reports“ from the context menu. Step 6: Choose “Portfolio” and then “Application Component (Business fit – Cost fit – Strategic Importance)”.
COMPARE YOUR AS-IS AND TO-BE ARCHITECTURES
Design your future architecture and visualize the differences between your AS-IS and TO-BE states with graphical and tabular model comparison. Here, we see a comparison between the current and the future architecture landscapes.
Step 1: Access the model explorer through “Find”. Step 2: Search for the model “1a Application Architecture V1” and the model “1b Application Architecture V2”. Step 3: Mark both models. Step 4: Right-click the marked models and choose “Compare” from the context menu.
PLAN YOUR BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
Analyse your AS-IS and TO-BE architectures and define specific transformation projects for the development of your EA. The application component roadmap provides a graphical overview of your applications’ life cycle. In this case, we can see that the “Partner System (PAS)” application component will soon get replaced by “Business Partner”.
Step 1: Click on “Find”. Step 2: Expand the “Search options and filters”. Step 3: Click the “Object” filter and select “Application Component”. Step 4: Mark the displayed results. Step 5: Right-click the marked objects and select “Reports“ from the context menu. Step 6: Choose “Gantt” and then “Application Component Roadmap”.
ANALYSE YOUR SURROUNDING APPLICATIONS
The interface report provides an overview of all application components using the composed application interfaces, and therefore accessing the data from your system. For example, we can see that the “Partner System (PAS)” application component provides two interfaces, which are in turn being accessed by several other application components.
Step 1: Click on “Find”. Step 2: Search for the initials “PAS”. Step 3: Right click the “Partner System (PAS)” application. Step 4: Select “Reports“ from the context menu. Step 5: From there, select the “Interface Report”.
BUSINESS-IT ALIGNMENT
The cluster map gives an overview of all application components and their realized services. When planning changes to your application portfolio, it’s important to ensure that existing application services are also supported in the future.
Step 1: Access the model explorer through “Find”. Step 2: Expand the group (folder) “01 ADOmoney Bank”, as well as the groups “02 EAM” and “03 Information Systems Architecture”. Step 3: Double-click the “Clustermap: Capability > Application Component > Application Service” model.
THE BUSINESS IMPACT ANALYSIS VIEW
A Business Impact analysis shows the influence of an object across the different architecture layers. With this view, we can analyse the impact of replacing the “Partner System (PAS)” application component in our Enterprise Architecture.
Step 1: Open “Find”. Step 2: Search for the initials “PAS”. Step 3: Right click the “Partner System (PAS)” application component. Step 4: Select “Reports“ at the bottom of the context menu. Step 5: Choose the “BIA” view. Step 6: Select “Business Process >accesses> Business Object <accesses< Application Component <serves< System Software”.
ORGANIZATIONAL BLUEPRINT
The blueprint matrix view gives an overview of all application components used in an organizational unit, or used in support of certain business processes. The matrix also visualizes the life cycles state and investment strategies of your application components at hand.
Step 1: Click on “Find”. Step 2: Expand the “Search options and filters”. Step 3: Click the “Object” filter and select “Application Component”. Step 4: Mark the displayed results. Step 5: Right-click the marked objects and select “Reports“ from the context menu. Step 6: Choose “Matrix” and then “Business Process <serves< Application Component >consulted> Business Actor”. Step 7: Click the icon “Change visualization” on the upper right-hand corner of the screen and select “Master Planning”.
