Many organisations building models in order to understand their enterprise. Different stakeholders, teams working together in central repositories to be prepared for solving future problems.

This presentation is focusing on Business Intelligence (BI) for Enterprise Architecture models/projects. Most important are the impact analysis reports, what happens if an application will be retired, or who is affected if an IT centre is no longer working are just a few possible questions to answer for an EA team.

Long time ago I started to develop reporting solutions embedded into application, to bring me up to speed with the latest reporting technology i studied the following books.

My video is focusing around reporting based on Enterprise Architecture (EA) data as i think it’s not quite common but a few of my clients start now exploring the benefits of impact analysis within their model.

An EA model has relationships between different information objects like Process, Organisation Unit, Location, Data, Applications, Technology these object are called POLDAT objects. But your repository needs to be extensible to add your user defined objects like Compliance Requirements to fulfil their requirements for e.g. SOX, Mifid, Basel, or other ISO systems.

The important part is that with the analysis of indirect relationships you can achieve amazing reports for Business Continuity Planning (BCP) or other business impact analysis.
