Benefits of Enterprise Architecture to theBusiness

Achievement of a company’s business strategy or of externaldrivers

Without a full understanding of business, application and technicalarchitectures, a business doesn’t know what it has or doesn’t have

Business processes and information consistencyEA unlocks the power of information whilst unifying information silos thatinhibit business processesIdentify processes, applications and data that need to be consistent

More reliability and security, less riskEA provides clear traceability between business processes, data, userroles, applications and infrastructure

Faster time-to-marketIf IT can introduce new technologies and functionalities faster, theorganization can respond to competitive pressures fasterThese areas are most likely to be spotted when business and IT staffcollaborate closely in the EA process

Benefits of Enterprise Architecture to IT

Lower IT costsFaster design and development due to standard designs andcomponentsIT procurement efficiencies due to economies of scale

Better traceability of IT costsGreater understanding of the interrelated nature of business,application and infrastructure assets

More manageable complexityClear vision of As-Is and To-Be architecture and migration planComprehensive view of apps, software, infrastructure and theirinterrelatedness diminishes duplication and overlap

Less IT riskDeveloping a managed transformation plan means IT is prepared todeliver new capabilities in a timely mannerIT effort is aligned with the strategy and expectations set at the rightlevel

When a customer is considering Enterprise SOA, either there is already an EAin place or there is a need to develop one…

The need for Enterprise Architecture in EnterpriseSOA

Effective management of SOA requires a more formalized understandingof the IT landscape with explicit links to the business it supports

Alignment between business and IT is the challenge facing SOA adoptersSignificant differences between an SOA landscape and a traditional IT landscapeNew points of stress and focus

Technology can address many of these stress points ; but not allKey Risks

Proliferation of misaligned services at inappropriate levels of granularityservice sprawl

Inability to do impact assessment and overspend on infrastructurepoor service quality

Multiple technology stacks that are costly to support and do not interoperatecostly services

“Islands of services” tied to implementation specificsServices are brittle and have high operational costs

Inability for potential service consumers to identify services for re-useDuplicate services

Putting It Together - How EA can helpEnterprise SOA

Provides a set of tools and techniques to link Business-Led SOA to Developer-Led SOA

a robust and maintainable frameworkaddresses the non-technical challenges associated with SOA adoption

Defines structured traceable representations of business and technologylinks IT assets to the business they supportClear, maintainable and measurable

Supports impactassessment and portfoliomanagement

Provides a much richercontextImproves the ability tomanage change

Defines principles,constraints, frameworks,patterns and standards

Forms the basis of ongoinggovernance,Ensures aligned services,interoperability and re-use

Why Enterprise Architecture is becomingprominent?

New External Pressures on customersCorporate Governance

Data Protection and Privacy

Increased Security Profile

The same old internal pressuresBusiness wants more from IT for less

IT wants to reduce complexity and cost

Increasing adoption of Enterprise SOANew issues for customers to handle

Specifically for SAPProduct Suite is richer: more components, moreoptions

SAP is developing its footprint in Industry Sectorswhere SAP is a secondary part of the Architecture
