STRATEGIC MODELLING FOR BUILDING ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE

3-Day Public or In-house Overview Course for Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Architecture, in 3-month Increments

Presented by Clive Finkelstein

Contents Print as PDF


Introduction

Enterprise Architecture is essential to achieve business integration and technology integration in today's complex business environment. This is recognized by organizations and governments world-wide. Unfortunately most Enterprise Architecture projects to-date have been multi-year, high-cost projects before any value is delivered.

This 3-day course provides an overview of the methods and technologies that enable priority business activities and processes, as identified by management, to be delivered into production rapidly, in 3-month increments. These methods identify common shared data, enterprise-wide. They enable reusable business processes to be implemented once, yet shared throughout the enterprise. This saves not only on development time and cost, but also on day-to-day operational costs of the resulting shared, common processes.

Instructor

Clive Finkelstein

Clive Finkelstein is acknowledged worldwide as the "Father" of Information Engineering, and is Managing Director of Information Engineering Services Pty Ltd in Australia. He has over 43 years' experience in the Computer Industry. He has published many books and papers, and contributed Chapters and Forewords to books published by McGraw-Hill and Springer-Verlag. Clive has authored the following books:

  • “Information Engineering”, James Martin and Clive Finkelstein, Savant Institute, Carnforth: Lancs UK (1981). This was the book that started the Information Engineering Revolution in the 1980’s.

  • "An Introduction to Information Engineering", Clive Finkelstein, Addison-Wesley, Sydney: Australia (1989). This book covers the history and evolution of Information Engineering.

  • "Information Engineering: Strategic Systems Development", Clive Finkelstein, Addison-Wesley, Sydney: Australia (1992). This is the “how-to” book on using Information Engineering.

  • "Building Corporate Portals with XML", Clive Finkelstein and Peter Aiken, McGraw-Hill New York: NY (2000). This book covers methodologies and technologies for Enterprise Portals.

  • “Enterprise Architecture for Integration: Methods and Technologies”, Clive Finkelstein, to be published in 2005. This brings together the methods and technologies for rapid delivery of Enterprise Architecture in 3-month increments. This activity is based on material from that book.

Clive Finkelstein is an internationally renowned consultant and instructor, and has completed projects for Defense, Government and Commercial organizations throughout the world and in most industries. Many projects have involved the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, using the latest methods and technologies for rapid delivery of priority areas into implementation. These methods use Enterprise Engineering for rapid definition of Enterprise Architecture. His technology focus addresses Enterprise Integration technologies using XML, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Enterprise Portals, Web Services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Business Process Management (BPM) using XML-based BPM languages.

He provides training and consulting in all aspects of the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, with rapid delivery of priority areas using Enterprise Engineering. His application of these methods in large and medium Government, Defense and Commercial enterprises results in Business Transformation Enablement, so that business and IT managers and their staffs can plan for and achieve rapid business change. Enterprise Architecture provides a Governance Analysis Framework that supports Sarbanes-Oxley and other Governance Audit requirements. It provides direct support and linkage to Balanced Scorecard for Strategy-Focused Organizations, to ensure that IT systems and databases support defined Scorecard Measures, Strategy Maps and Governance requirements.

Clive writes a monthly column, “The Enterprise” for DM Review magazine. Past issues are at http://www.dmreview.com/. He publishes a free, quarterly technology newsletter via email: “The Enterprise Newsletter (TEN)”.
