CIS 4100 Enterprise Architecture

Lankhorst and his co authors present ArchiMate® 3.0, enterprise modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice, techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about these architectures. The authors also describe analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance and cost issues. The modelling language presented has been proven in practice in many real life case studies and has been adopted by The Open Group as an international standard.

Every enterprise architect faces similar problems when designing and governing the enterprise architecture of a medium to large enterprise. Design patterns are a well-established concept in software engineering, used to define universally applicable solution schemes. By applying this approach to enterprise architectures, recurring problems in the design and implementation of enterprise architectures can be solved over all layers, from the business layer to the application and data layer down to the technology layer. Inversini and Perroud describe patterns at the level of enterprise architecture, which they refer to as Enterprise Architecture Patterns. These patterns are motivated by recurring problems originating from both the business and the underlying application, or from data and technology architectures of an enterprise such as identity and access management or integration needs. The Enterprise Architecture Patterns help in planning the technological and organizational landscape of an enterprise and its information technology, and are easily embedded into frameworks such as TOGAF, Zachman or FEA.

It's a reference guide to enterprise security programs. This book is intended for the IT security staff beginner to expert but would also be a valuable resource for other IT functions such as IT compliance, IT operations, and executives responsible for managing IT and information security. Understanding the principles in this book is important for decision makers as new business models are developed and enterprise security must keep up to reduce risk and secure critical enterprise assets and data.

The content is applicable to all business sectors, including non-profit, service, selling, manufacturing, retail and administrative situations. The focus of the textbook is clearly on improving decision-making under uncertain situations, not on operational risk management or internal control at very low organizational levels.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to several aspects of risk, including information systems, disaster management, supply chain and disaster management perspectives. A major portion of the book is devoted to presenting a number of operations research models that have been (or could be) applied to enterprise supply risk management, especially from the supply chain perspective.

"Enterprise Architecture (EA) has evolved to become a prominent presence in today's information systems and technology landscape. The EA discipline is rich in frameworks, methodologies, and the like. However, the question of 'value' for business ;professi"
