Bill Poole – Personal Introduction

1/31/2013 Harnessing the Power of ArchiMate 15

• 15 years experience across Telecommunications,

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Insurance, Oil & Gas

and Mining industries

• Last 8 years in consulting

• Last 7 years in business/IT planning, strategy and

architecture roles

• Currently leading the Enterprise Architecture discipline

within JourneyOne

Business Context


• Our client had an EA practice with 5 Enterprise

Architects, using a home grown metamodel based on the

Zachman framework

• The EA practice set the modelling standards and acted

in a governance capacity over IT projects

• The architecture models were very hard to read, so

stakeholders outside the EA practice ignored them

• The models were largely disconnected from the actual

delivered solutions

• The EA function added little value, but added substantial

cost and time to projects

Why the ArchiMate Modeling Language?


• ArchiMate was chosen as the new modelling standard

because:

– As an open standard it doesn’t lock the client into any one EA

tool, it puts the burden of training architects back on the market

(i.e. ArchiMate experience can be a prerequisite of employment),

and it is developed by global experts free of charge to the client

– It is very semantically precise, so models produced by different

architects are read by all stakeholders to have the same

meaning

– ArchiMate models are intuitive to understand, meaning business

stakeholders do not need training to understand the models

– ArchiMate models (properly modelled) are very visually

appealing, increasing their adoption across the business

Value of the ArchiMate Standard


• ArchiMate has been proven within the client to:

– Be eagerly adopted by business stakeholders

– Be easily understood by business stakeholders

– Support integration of all models produced by

disparate architecture teams across a single

architecture landscape, through all levels of detail and

all plateaus

• Architecture models now add value during strategic

cycles, and project and programme planning phases

• Resistance to doing architecture work has dramatically

decreased
