Business Oriented Development of the IT Landscape: Architecture Design on a Large Scale
Abstract
The paper outlines enterprise architecture as a means of business IT alignment, the respective domains, and fundamental design techniques. It is based on three basic views on architecture. The component view describes the elements of architecture and their relationships. The communication view shows how the elements interact with one another. The distribution view describes how the elements are distributed in terms of location or organizational assignment. Key element of architecture design is to account for interdependencies among the building blocks of architecture. Blueprints are introduced as a means in planning the deployment of architecture on a large scale. Blueprints give a comprehensive view on the building blocks and how the interact. They show the effects of architecture design between business, application, and infrastructure architecture. The main stakeholders and their respective usage of the design techniques are outlined.
