The Need for Inter-Enterprise Architecture

   The evolution of enterprise landscape
      Influence and dependency beyond enterprise boundary
             Global networking and boundary-less information flow
             Common service commoditization
             Necessity in partnership and collaboration
        Technology enablement encourages the changes
             Service orientation
             Cloud computing
             Social media and networking
   The need for enterprise to understand its business environment
      The context, partnership, and interaction mechanisms
             For business proposition and game planning
             For awareness of the growing mutual influence and dependencies (more correlated than
              ever before)
        Inter-enterprise restructuring are happening
             To fit the new economy and changing paradigm
             To evolve the roles and responsibilities of the players
   Enterprises are being affected not only internally, but also externally
       Not only good-sized enterprises need architecture, small ones need it too
   If EA is like a city plan, IEA is more like a plan for the metropolitan

The Challenges Enterprises are Facing

   Understand the impact of new paradigm
       Separate common services from unique functions
       Maximize loosely coupled services to reduce complexities and
        lessen the impact of changes

        promote collaboration
       Dynamic relationships between service providers and service
        consumers
   Organization culture
       Transform vertical connections to horizontal collaborations
       Change management style from command and control to
        motivation and facilitation
   Adoption of new tools
       Enable effective common service adoption
       Enable collaboration inside and beyond enterprise

                           Yan Zhao, Ph.D, ArchiTech Consulting LLC    9
Possible IEA Adoption for Transition

   Guide transition to new paradigm
        Be aware of reforming industry, and new business environment
        Help situation studies, strategic planning, and decision making
        Architecture formation by intent, not by accident
        Evolution of organizational structure, culture, and operation model to
         suit common service adoption and cross organizational collaboration
   IEA practice makes cloud computing and social media
    adoptions more effectively
        In new inter-business solutions via cloud computing
        In adapting to new inter-business relationship and dynamics via social
         media
   Examples of IEA for cloud service adoption
        Shopping Mall on Cloud
        Library on Cloud
        Special business domain oriented cloud
        IEA should guide public cloud adoption, not other way around
                               Yan Zhao, Ph.D, ArchiTech Consulting LLC           10
Conclusion

This presentation discussed:

 The changing business environment and landscape
  associated with internet revolution, including cloud
  computing and social media
 The needs for IEA: the useful blueprint for enterprise is
  beyond enterprise boundary
 The notion of IEA, and its relationships with other efforts
 The possible adoption: IEA should guide public cloud
  implementation, not other way around
 The Open Group is a good forum to explore IEA, due to
  its global nature and cross-industry participation.
 The economic down turn is a good time to rethink, and
  to plan ahead
