You can watch the replay for this webcast in the IDERA Resource Center: http://ow.ly/G2gp50A5bus ER/Studio 17 is now available with significant improvements to the Business Architect tool, including BPMN 2.0 compliance and validation for business process modeling. Companies can now easily create business processes using choreography, collaboration, and conversation model types. Any organization may use a number of different business processes for operations, sales, marketing, and other areas. Capturing the way a business works can be challenging, but data architects should work with business stakeholders to establish process models and ensure they are all speaking the same language, to create a solid foundation for enterprise architecture and data governance initiatives. IDERA’s Ron Huizenga and Kim Brushaber will share the highlights of the ER/Studio 17 release, discuss the importance of business process modeling as the first step for data governance, and demonstrate how ER/Studio Business Architect helps companies map and model the relationships between processes, people and data.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE DEFINITIONS
 Enterprise Architecture
• A defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and
implementation, using a comprehensive approach at all times, for the
successful development and execution of strategy.
• Enterprise architecture applies architecture principles and practices to guide
organizations through the business, information, process, and technology
changes necessary to execute their strategies.
 Data Architecture
• Data architecture is composed of models, policies, rules or standards that
govern which data is collected, and how it is stored, arranged, integrated, and
put to use in data systems and in organizations.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE DEFINITIONS
 Business Architecture
• “A blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the
organization and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands.”
• From the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge
 Application Architecture
• Describes the behavior of applications used in a business, focused on how they
interact with each other and with users. It is focused on the data consumed and
produced by applications rather than their internal structure. Applications are
mapped to business functions.
 Technical Architecture
• Computer system architecture 'layer' which defines and specifies the interfaces,
parameters, and protocols used by product architecture and system
architecture layers.

BUSINESS PROCESS MODELING BENEFITS
 Business process models show how to achieve the organization’s goals
 The business processes help to break down silos, bridge communication gaps,
effectively manage operations, and align data usage with the goals
 Business processes can be reviewed and evaluated regularly due to business
evolution, and gaps or areas for optimization can be identified, particularly when
processes need to be combined or modified due to acquisitions or mergers
 Business process models establish a common language for the organization, so
that everyone shares an understanding of key concepts
 A robust holistic business architecture can serve as the foundation for enterprise
architecture and data governance initiatives
