Who Else Wants To Know The Mystery Behind ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT?
Let’s be a juggernaut and attempt to break the black box of enterprises.
Enterprise is defined as an organization that uses software systems.
The crucial strategies of any organization are:
1)Technology Strategy
2)Bussiness Strategy
Usually, it’s difficult for the enterprise to focus on both of them and one is usually left behind in the pursuit of the other.
And when we have a problem we need superheroes to help us out and being specific to this problem it is Enterprise Architects.
Enterprise Architects oversees that the technology framework is in alignment with the business framework, we usually require technical people who are putting their technicalities to use by informing the technical aspects to non-technical people.
We have different architects:
1)Solution Architect
2)Application Architect
3)Enterprise Architect
One effective way an enterprise architect could convey one’s idea is with the help of models
Like we all know a picture is worth a thousand words.
And if one had to cut a tree in 9 hours, one would spend 6 hours sharpening the axe.
Modeling helps one to sharpen the axe.
There are 3 types of models:
1)Analytical Model
2)Computational Model
3)Non-analytical model
An analytical model is a model which explains relations with the help of equations or drafting relations between them.
The computational model is a model which re-creates real-time scenarios and understands how our interested system would interact with it.
Whereas the non-analytical model helps one to understand the relationship within the components.
Also, we have different type of modeling languages like:
1)UML-Unified Modelling Language
2)SysML-Systems Modelling Language
UML pertains to software engineering whereas SysML pertains to systems engineering wherein we can see few components common in both cases.
Also, the diagrams we are modeling can further be classified as:
1)Use-case scenarios
2)Case Models
3)Sequence Models
etc…
We have various tools to help us out like Microsoft Visio, PlantUML, etc.
The enterprise architects apart from doing the de facto work on the solution developers have to figure the strategies to align the organization system’s goals with the business goals.
