enterprise integration

• Enterprise Architecture

– Enterprise Architecture is the continuous practice of describing the essential elements of a socio-technical organization, their relationships to each other and to the environment, in order to understand complexity and manage change.

• Enterprise Integration

– Enterprise Integration is about breaking down organisational barriers and improving interoperability to create synergy within the enterprise to operate more efficiently and adaptively.

• Enterprise Engineering

– Enterprise Engineering is the collection of those tools and methods which one can use to design and continually maintain an integrated state of the enterprise.

Human Concepts

Technology Concepts

Process Concepts

• Human oriented concepts

• Process oriented concepts

• Technology oriented concepts

• GERA Views

• Roles & Responsibilities

– Single person more than 1 role

– Responsibilities must be carried out concurrently and cohesively while

reporting to different people using non-aligned control procedures

• Need to capture constructs that promote the use of knowledge

(possessed by humans) in the form of reusable enterprise models

e.g.

– Roles of individuals and groups

– Organisational structures and constraints that are applied to co-ordinate

the roles defined including delegation,reporting procedures, etc.

– The capabilities and qualities of people

However sophisticated and integrated an enterprise can be, humans will always make the final decision.

• Describe the processes in the enterprise

– Functionality (what needs to be done)

– Behaviour (sequence in which things are actually done)

• The process-oriented concepts defined in GERA

– Enterprise entity life-cycle

– Life history

– Enterprise entity types
