Data Driven Process-Based Unicage Architecture

Abstract

Digital transformation necessitates the creation of business value or innovation using digital technology in every industry. Enterprises are facing an unprecedented business environment and competition for resources and market, which forces them to be more adaptive. Consequently, their Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) must also be adaptive. The conventional information system architecture has high dependencies between their application components to realize the loosely-coupled, microservice application architecture required for adaptiveness. In this paper, we propose a loosely-coupled, process-based enterprise information system architecture - Unicage - which consists of business, application, data, and technology architectures, especially for Enterprise Resource Planning system, with only input and output data-based building blocks. As a result, it enables a Full Cycle Development. We also propose a model for the architecture using ArchiMate.
