Download or read book Ecosystems Architecture written by Philip Tetlow and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, modern business is adrift in a sea of connectivity and potential. Where once an organization’s IT needs could be met from within its four walls, we now see many mission-critical systems reaching out beyond an enterprise’s traditional boundaries. This is pushing solutions design well beyond the comfort zone of Enterprise Architecture and out into a world of hyper-enterprise systems. This is a world of complexity and scale, where the changing status quo demands that organizations keep up or die. To survive, their IT systems must also evolve as the context of their environment(s) ebbs and flows. The result is a dynamic, interconnected web of critical business advantage, balanced against uncertainty and risk, and infused with AI. This is the world of Ecosystems Architecture. This book will introduce you to the challenges of designing hyper-enterprise IT systems and the tools you will need as the era of Ecosystems Architecture dawns. It explains the proximity of new thinking to long-held architectural tenets and outlines how and why thinking has moved on. It also reviews existing frameworks and explains how and why they fit into the broader landscape of architectural thinking.

To offer guidance on how to build an effective DM capability in an organization.This is illustrated by various use cases, linked to the previously mentioned theoretical exploration as well as the stories of practitioners in the field. The primary target groups are: busy professionals who “are actively involved with managing data”. The book is also aimed at (Bachelor’s/ Master’s) students with an interest in data management.

Download or read book The IT4IT Reference Architecture Version 2 1 written by Van Haren Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Group IT4IT(TM) Reference Architecture, Version 2.1, an Open Group Standard, provides a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic, and industry-agnostic reference architecture for managing the business of IT. The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture standard comprises a reference architecture and a value chain-based operating model. The IT Value Chain has four value streams supported by a reference architecture to drive efficiency and agility. The four value streams are: - Strategy to Portfolio - Request to Fulfill - Requirement to Deploy - Detect to Correct. Each IT Value Stream is centered on a key aspect of the service model, the essential data objects (information model), and functional components (functional model) that support it. Together, the four value streams play a vital role in helping IT control the service model as it advances through its lifecycle. The IT4IT Reference Architecture: - Provides prescriptive guidance on the specification of and interaction with a consistent service model backbone (common data model/context). - Supports real-world use-cases driven by the Digital Economy (e.g., Cloud-sourcing, Agile, DevOps, and service brokering)..- Embraces and complements existing process frameworks and methodologies (e.g., ITIL(R), CoBIT(R), SAFe, and TOGAF(R)) by taking a data-focused implementation model perspective, essentially specifying an information model across the entire value chain. The audience for this standard is: - IT Professionals who are responsible for delivering services in a way that is flexible, traceable, and cost-effective - IT Professionals / Practitioners who are focused on instrumenting the IT management landscape - IT Leaders who are concerned about their operating model - Enterprise Architects who are responsible for IT business transformation

The solution exists to operate business processes in order to achieve business objectives, meet a business need and deliver business value. Solution architecture is concerned with engaging with the originating business function looking for the solution to create a solution vision and design a solution that meet their needs, subject to a range of constraints such as cost and affordability, time to deliver and organisational standards. The solution must exist as a coherent whole.Solutions must be designed consistently across the solution landscape and make optimum use of appropriate technologies. Solution architecture must focus on creating usable and useful solutions. Solution architecture must have a standard reliable approach to business engagements and the design of solution that emerge from them. Solution architecture must work collaboratively with other information technology functions - other architecture roles, business analysis and service management - to ensure continuity along the solution delivery journey.Effective solution architecture involves: -Have a depth and breadth of solution delivery and technical experience to be able to identify solution design options quickly-Being able to understand the detail of the solution while maintaining a view of the wider (and higher) context of the business need for the solution and being able to explain both these views of sets of information-Being able to communicate effectively with all parties - technical and business - involved in the solution design and delivery journey, assist with decision-making, be realistic and make appropriate compromises and design choices in order to create the best solution design-Being able to apply technology appropriately and with selective innovation (and the desire to constantly acquire new knowledge and ways of applying technology)-Being involved in the solution delivery journey along its entire length-Being able to be the solution advocate and subject matter expertThis book is aimed at a variety of potential readers: -Existing solution architects who want to have a more theoretical and a broader understanding of their role-Existing or new managers of solution architecture functions who want to create a high-performing practice within their organisations and who want to articulate the benefits and value solution architect can contribute to the information technology function and the wider business and the potential it can offer to the business organisation-Mangers of information technology functions who want to understand what solution architecture is, where it fits into the wider architecture context and disciplines and solution delivery and operation and the value it can contribute to both the information technology function and the wider business-Other information technology architects who want to understand how the architecture disciplines can work together to deliver value-Business analysts and managers of business analysis functions who want to understand how they can work more closely with the solution architecture function in order to provide the business with a better overall service-Other information technology personnel who want to move into solution architecture and who want to understand what it is-Consulting organisations and individuals who want to develop and offer value-adding solution architecture services

Download or read book DevOps A Business Perspective written by Oleg Skrynnik and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the management aspects of DevOps for those who are professionally engaged in information and technology management. It is written for IT specialists, IT managers and IT executives. It does not show DevOps as a phenomenon associated with new automation tools, programming techniques or technologies; It differs from other books by the structural nature of the narrative (perhaps, excessively structured) approach and by the attempt to cover fully the phenomenon of DevOps at a basic, fundamental level. By this approach, this book not only creates awareness of the new subject area but is also helps building the basics. The reader learns about the origins of DevOps, the inevitability of its emergence, the key prerequisites and their reflection in practices, about the practices themselves and the principles on which they are based. This book is the core literature of the EXIN DevOps Foundation certification. This exam tests the understanding of basic DevOps concepts and how they relate to each other, as well as the value of DevOps for the business. EXIN DevOps Foundation is the first level of the EXIN DevOps certification program. The EXIN DevOps Professional certification tests the knowledge of DevOps practices and how to integrate teams. The EXIN DevOps Master certification is about promoting organizational change and leading the way towards continuous delivery and improvement.
