Bill Poole – Personal Introduction
1/31/2013 Harnessing the Power of ArchiMate 15
• 15 years experience across Telecommunications,
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Insurance, Oil & Gas
and Mining industries
• Last 8 years in consulting
• Last 7 years in business/IT planning, strategy and
architecture roles
• Currently leading the Enterprise Architecture discipline
within JourneyOne
Business Context
1/31/2013 Harnessing the Power of ArchiMate 16
• Our client had an EA practice with 5 Enterprise
Architects, using a home grown metamodel based on the
Zachman framework
• The EA practice set the modelling standards and acted
in a governance capacity over IT projects
• The architecture models were very hard to read, so
stakeholders outside the EA practice ignored them
• The models were largely disconnected from the actual
delivered solutions
• The EA function added little value, but added substantial
cost and time to projects
Why the ArchiMate Modeling Language?
1/31/2013 Harnessing the Power of ArchiMate 17
• ArchiMate was chosen as the new modelling standard
because:
– As an open standard it doesn’t lock the client into any one EA
tool, it puts the burden of training architects back on the market
(i.e. ArchiMate experience can be a prerequisite of employment),
and it is developed by global experts free of charge to the client
– It is very semantically precise, so models produced by different
architects are read by all stakeholders to have the same
meaning
– ArchiMate models are intuitive to understand, meaning business
stakeholders do not need training to understand the models
– ArchiMate models (properly modelled) are very visually
appealing, increasing their adoption across the business

Value of the ArchiMate Standard
1/31/2013 Harnessing the Power of ArchiMate 21
• ArchiMate has been proven within the client to:
– Be eagerly adopted by business stakeholders
– Be easily understood by business stakeholders
– Support integration of all models produced by
disparate architecture teams across a single
architecture landscape, through all levels of detail and
all plateaus
• Architecture models now add value during strategic
cycles, and project and programme planning phases
• Resistance to doing architecture work has dramatically
decreased
