Introduction to Architecture for Management

by: Raymond Slot, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young

Architecture is becoming fast one of the main instrument for improving Business IT Alignment. So, what is architecture and what can you expect from an architect? How does architecture fit with other methods and tools, such as DSDM and ITIL?

Architecture plays a pivotal role in linking business strategy to day-to-day IT operations. Business strategy states the direction a company wants to take. Translating high-level business strategy to concrete project objectives is difficult (if not impossible), without the use of a standard architecture method. Cap Gemini Ernst & Young’s Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF) provides such a standard approach. It integrates the business strategy into successively Business architecture, Information architecture, Information System architecture, Infrastructure architecture, Governance architecture and Security architecture.

The workshop discusses the role of architecture and the role of the architect in the development and the deployment processes and explains why architecture is the ‘missing link’ for many of these processes.
