4. MISTAKE 1
Ignoring the miscommunication between
IT and business people.
66% of IT projects fail due to miscommunication, costing businesses in
the US a yearly loss of US$ 30 billion. # Forrester Research

5. MISTAKE 2
Implementing IT
projects as
standalone
systems.
Many companies implement
IT projects as separate
islands (silo) without
complementing each other
as a whole, thus increasing
complexity and maintenance
costs.
80% of IT budgets are spent
on maintenance only.
# Forrester Research

6. MISTAKE 3
Limiting IT to just an automation role.
Some companies assume IT is useful only to digitise existing business
processes, when IT can help create much more business value.

7. MISTAKE 4
Designing IT
systems without
using
standardised IT
Architecture
blueprints.
Would you stay in a house
that wasn’t built according to
approved architectural
standards?
60-70% of Enterprise IT
Architecture projects failed
in 2010.
# Gartner Research

8. MISTAKE 5
Treating IT projects as an
expense, instead of as an investment
with returns.Would you want to reduce the budget of an IT department that helps
generate profit?

9. Where do
you stand?

10. MISTAKE 1
Business and IT speak the same
language.

11. MISTAKE 2
IT systems
exist on a
standardised
platform -
greatly
reducing
complexity
and costs.

12. MISTAKE 3
In addition to automation, IT
delivers new business capabilities.

13. MISTAKE 4
A shared
vision using
standardised
Enterprise
Architecture
blueprints ensure
that IT projects
always meet
business
requirements and
expectations.

14. MISTAKE 5
All IT projects deliver measurable
ROI and business values.

♦ Long lead time to delivery
with little business impact
during the interim
♦ Solution likely not well
aligned with business
needs
♦ Requires unrealistically fast IT
response to deliver business value
♦ Results in unsupportable "spaghetti"
IT systems and inefficient IT
Architecture
Enterprise Architecture

between IT & Business
impact to deliver values

27. The ArchiMate and TOGAF
• The evolution of the
ArchiMate language is
closely linked to the
development of the
TOGAF standard.
• As a consequence, the
ArchiMate standard does
not provide its own set of
defined terms, but rather
follows those provided by
the TOGAF standard.

28. The Role of ArchiMate as an EA Language
• The ArchiMate modeling language has been
developed to provide a uniform representation for
diagrams that describe Enterprise Architectures.
• It offers an integrated architectural approach that
describes and visualizes the different
architecture domains and their underlying
relations and dependencies.

29. The ArchiMate Language is Lightweight and Scalable
• The ArchiMate language is lightweight and
scalable in several respects:
– Its architecture framework is simple and yet
comprehensive enough to provide a good
structuring mechanism.
– It incorporates the concepts of the “service
orientation” paradigm.
– It represents enterprise architectures as they
change over time.

30. The ArchiMate and TOGAF Specification
• The TOGAF standard is a
method and framework
• It includes the following
domains:
– Business Architecture
– Information Systems
Architectures
 Data
 Applications
– Technology Architecture
• The ArchiMate
specification is a
language
• It includes the
following layers:
– Business
– Application
– Technology
Note: In the ArchiMate language, the
data elements are embodied in the
appropriate layers.
