•Why Enterprise Architecture?–Enterprise architecture offers a systematic framework

for government transformation–Government Enterprise Architecture in Canada is

called the “Business Transformation Enablement Program”

–Better alignment of technology to governmental goals

•Elements of Enterprise Architecture–Business Architecture–Applications Architecture–Information Architecture–Technology Architecture

6

Business Architecture

• Goals: Efficiency, Transparency, Accountability

• Policies: Procurement Reform, Country Systems

• Organizational: Functional responsibilities, capabilities and organizational models

• Institutional: Institutions and governance – Buyers, Sellers, Public, Procurement Authority

• Policies: Business processes – Information Disclosure, Tendering, Shopping, Purchasing (bidding, reverse-bidding)

Applications Architecture

•Solutions–Application software choices

•Linkages–Interfaces with IFMIS, Business Registries, Inventory

Control, Asset Management–Intranets, extranets, internet, eCommerce, EDI links with

parties within and outside of the organization, connection to supplier catalogs, supply chain integration

•Components–Payment gateways–Authentication–Security (encryption, digital signatures)–Service Oriented Architecture

•Business models–PPP arrangements–Software as a Service (SaaS)

8

Information Architecture

•Metadata–Data that describes the enterprise data elements, in

supply chain integration would extend data beyond the enterprise

•Data models–Conceptual, logical, and physical – information about

reference prices, bidding documents, catalogues

Technology Architecture

•Standards–Interoperability standards–eCatalogue standards

•Hardware–Hardware, platforms, and hosting: servers, and where they

are kept (cloud computing, hosted by private party)–Local and wide area networks

•Software–Operating systems, portability tools–Infrastructure software: Application servers, Database

management system–Programming languages

•Security–Security Architecture
