Controlling your Systems with Application Architecture

Controlling your Systems with Application Architecture

Download Brochure
Contact Us

Overview

Process modelling offers visibility and control over what a business does, delving into tasks, accountability, data, and other essential information. While most modelling notations offer a view into how technology and systems interact with a process, there is little representation of how different systems interact with one another.

Application Architecture can offer this visibility. It provides a visual representation of the connection between various IT programs, modules and databases. This can be essential in rationalising your organisation’s program portfolio; the clear identification of dependencies and interconnections mitigates risk from changes to the architecture.

Explore both when and how to deploy Application Architecture models, adhering to the ArchiMate 3.0 standard, through this interactive workshop.

Course
Outline

  1. Systems Overload
  2. Introduction to Application Architecture
  3. Modelling your Business Systems
