Book Description

Enterprise IT architecture made practical--finally!

There's only one way to maximize legacy infrastructure while integrating new partners, technologies, applications, and data streams: begin with a coherent enterprise architecture. But most approaches to enterprise architecture have been far too complex and theoretical--until now. IT Architecture Toolkit is a breakthrough: a practical, simple, rapid, and complete approach to delivering on the promise of enterprise architecture.

Jane Carbone's approach has been proven in mid-market and Fortune 500 enterprises alike. Step by step, Carbone shows how to integrate business, architecture, implementation, and all key outputs: for data, applications, technology, and people. Whether you're an IT leader, architect, planner, or analyst, you'll learn how to:

  • Create strong, auditable links with business drivers
  • Model your architecture simply, easily, and quickly
  • Translate your models to real, manageable projects.
  • Define the value proposition for architecture and establish realistic metrics
  • Achieve buy-in throughout your organization
  • Manage the "soft" aspects of your architecture initiative, including processes, roles, responsibilities, and organizational structure

Carbone provides a "soup to nuts" collection of methods and examples. Using her exercises, you'll construct a complete draft architecture for your own business: one that will handle change, opportunity, growth, mergers, downsizing . . . whatever comes your way

書籍描述

企業 IT 架構終於變得實用！

要在整合新夥伴、技術、應用程式和數據流的同時最大化舊有基礎設施，唯一的方法就是從一致的企業架構開始。但大多數企業架構的方法過於複雜和理論化——直到現在。《IT 架構工具包》是一項突破：一種實用、簡單、快速且完整的方法，實現企業架構的承諾。

Jane Carbone 的方法在中型市場和《財富》500 強企業中都得到了證明。Carbone 逐步展示如何整合業務、架構、實施及所有關鍵輸出：數據、應用程式、技術和人員。無論您是 IT 領導者、架構師、規劃者還是分析師，您將學會如何：

- 與業務驅動因素建立強大且可審計的聯繫
- 簡單、輕鬆且快速地建模您的架構
- 將您的模型轉化為真實且可管理的專案
- 定義架構的價值主張並建立現實的指標
- 獲得整個組織的支持
- 管理架構倡議的「軟性」方面，包括流程、角色、責任和組織結構

Carbone 提供了一整套方法和範例。通過她的練習，您將為自己的業務構建一個完整的草擬架構：一個能夠應對變化、機會、增長、合併、裁員……無論發生什麼情況。
