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.

Modeling an enterprise is not a simple task, you have to consider different stakeholders with different requirements, but also with different preferences on how they would like to access the enterprise knowledge. This presentation outlines different solutions all based on a central repository, where your enterprise can get the most benefit out of the enterprise model.  Below you can find the english version of my video, other languages are available in <<Login or Register to see the link>>.

I have pre ordered the first book (not sure if its really good) but the other one definitely are.

This video is focusing on different tools to fulfil the requirements for different stakeholders for Business Process Analysis. The tool presentations starts with fat and thin client application and also shows the use of Simulation and different dash boarding capabilities like Bubble Chart and Gantt Chart (Time lines).

It is important that all these information is stored in a central repository so that different project teams (stakeholders) can embed their requirements in the Business Process Analysis (BPA) tool, e.g. Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Six Sigma, BPM Notation (BPMN)…

The fully rounded solution contains also a powerful reporting capabilities (Business Intelligence -- BI) on your central repository to ensure you can get all the cross referenced information objects out of the system in order to perform e.g. impact analysis. Also task management and mobile application can be very powerful to engage with stakeholders
