Abstract

In a changing competitive business landscape, organizations are challenged by traditional processes and static document-driven business architecture models or artifacts. This marks the need for a more adaptive and analytics-enabled approach to business architecture. This article proposes a framework for adaptive business architecture modeling to address this critical concern. This research is conducted in an Australian business architecture organization using the action design research (ADR) method. The applicability of the proposed approach was demonstrated through its use in a health insurance business architecture case study using the Tableau and Jalapeno business architecture modeling platform. The proposed approach seems feasible to process business architecture data for generating essential insights and actions for adaptation.

Highlights

  • Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an important discipline for handling organizational design and its underlying complexity [1]

  • Capsifi engaged researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in 2018 to help them with the research and development of an analyticsenabled adaptive Business Architecture (BA) modeling approach which can be integrated with their existing modeling framework and platform

  • 4.2 Analytics The analytics modeling dimension refers to the well-known CRISP-DM methodology, which we aim to incorporate into BA modeling for creating the analytics-enabled BA modeling approach

Summary

Introduction

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an important discipline for handling organizational design and its underlying complexity [1]. It helps to address the alignment and integration of business and IT [1], [2] through strategy to execution [3] for enabling business value [2]. TOGAF and Zachman frameworks have been around for a long time and cover both the EA method and ontology aspects. TOGAF seems to provide an end-to-end architecture development method (ADM) covering architecture planning, design, execution and governance phases. The Zachman framework provides an ontology, which may guide documenting different architecture views at different levels of abstractions ranging from contextual to operational architecture views
