Guide to Enterprise it Architecture: A Strategic Approach (Springer Professional Computing)
The text will provide a comprehensive and pragmatic introduction and advanced reference to the context, definition realization of technical architecture in information and database technology. Covering nearly the full spectrum of architectural concern, we also illustrate and concretize the notion of traceability from business goals, strategy through
to technical architecture, providing the reader with a holistic and commanding view.The work has two mutually supportive foci: information technology technical architecture, the in-depth, illustrative and contemporary treatment of which comprises the core and majority of the book; and a strategic and business context, to which a technical architecture tends to enshrine only a partially visible connection. The introduction and description of TOGAF (The Open Group Architectural Framework) as a foundation architecture sets the scene for exploring the notion of the technical reference model, standards information base and the overarching architectural development method.This title offers comprehensive treatment of technical architecture. It covers all aspects of the technical architecture development process . It utilizes a contemporary problems area (E-Business enablement for organizations with an existing IT infrastructure). It provides the motivated reader with practical reference work, written by practicing architects. It is an exposition that disseminates precious field heuristics - that is, proven qualitative and quantitative 'rules' that guide information architects in their role.
