The EIM Reference Architecture - A Journey to the Center of the Enterprise

This session presents the audience a complete overview of the process to create a complete Enterprise Information Management architecture that can be used to leverage and guardrail both short term projects and long term strategies used by IT that support and qualify the business to compete in the market place.

The audience will leave the session with templates and step by step instructions on how document and create an architecture that supports the business strategy:

Document the current state of the architecture using standard TOGAF symbology
Develop a capability map that represents the business and IT strategy for each domain
Develop the architecture diagrams that represent the major EIM domains and specific capabilities
Design the roadmap to meet the strategies laid by the business
Using the reference architecture develop the roadmap to reach the desired end state

Sample reference architecture templates will be included.
