In order to bring measurable value to their firms, Enterprise Architects of Tomorrow must understand, utilize, and evangelize the latest technologies driving the industry. These current trends include predictive analytics, deep learning, prescriptive analytics, and machine learning. All of these trends use current data to make predictions about unknown future events.

Enterprise Architecture

AI cannot be deployed in isolation; it needs Architecture Raj Ramesh AI cannot be deployed in isolation. Recently, Andrew Ng, one of the foremost Artificial Intelligence researchers who also built the AI teams at Google and Baidu said so in a Forbes interview. "AI technology is exciting, but it is also immature. At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, AI technology in isolation is not useful. It needs a lot of customization to figure out exactly how it fits into your business concept. Doing that requires a broad understanding of your company and a reasonably deep understanding of AI. Exploiting the value of AI today requires a team that understands the business context and has cross-functional knowledge of things like how to fit AI into your hospital or how to use AI in your logistics network. Without cross-functional knowledge of how your business runs, it is difficult to customize AI appropriately to drive specific business results." In this video, I build upon this basis and use an example to illustrate the need for AI and Architecture to be considered together.

Is business architecture dead? Why focus on artificial intelligence? Raj Ramesh Is there a place for business architecture in the new artificial intelligence (AI) centric world? Some viewers have asked me why I'm focusing more on AI and on architecture, and here's my short response. www.topsigma.com www.linkedin.com/in/rajramesh

Why do you need an AI Framework and an AI Strategy? Raj Ramesh The terms framework and strategy are often confusing. If your organization is ready to use AI in its digital transformation (and it better be because the future of the digital organization will have lots of AI), then it needs a great strategy. Here is discuss how you can think about AI strategy and AI frameworks.

A Blueprint for Scaling AI Raj Ramesh AI is a powerful technology that can help companies increase revenue, provide better customer service, and improve operational efficiencies. In this video, I share some things to consider as you bring AI into your organization.

TOGAF® Standard, Version 9.2 The TOGAF® Standard, a standard of The Open Group, is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency. The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 provide improved guidance, correcting errors, improving the document structure, and removing obsolete content. Key enhancements made in this version include updates to the Business Architecture and the Content Metamodel. All of these changes make the TOGAF framework easier to use and maintain. It is the most prominent and reliable Enterprise Architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among Enterprise Architecture professionals. Those professionals who are fluent in the TOGAF approach enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. This approach helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, and realize a greater return on investment. The standard is constantly evolving as a result of the work delivered by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum and TOGAF certification has been achieved by over 100,000 individuals worldwide. It retains the major features and structure of the previous version of the standard including: Modular Structure: The TOGAF standard has a modular structure. The modular structure supports: Greater usability – defined purpose for each part; can be used in isolation as a standalone set of guidelines Incremental adoption of the TOGAF standard Accompanying the standard is a portfolio of guidance material, known as the TOGAF Library, to support the practical application of the TOGAF approach Content Framework: The TOGAF standard includes a content framework to drive greater consistency in the outputs that are created when following the Architecture Development Method (ADM). The TOGAF content framework provides a detailed model of architectural work products. Extended Guidance: The TOGAF standard features an extended set of concepts and guidelines to support the establishment of an integrated hierarchy of architectures being developed by teams within larger organizations that operate within an overarching architectural governance model. In particular, the following concepts are included: Partitioning – a number of techniques and considerations on how to partition the various architectures within an enterprise. Architecture Repository – a logical information model for an Architecture Repository which can be used as an integrated store for all outputs created by executing the ADM. Capability Framework – a structured definition of the organization, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to operate an effective enterprise architecture capability. The TOGAF standard also provides guidance on a process that can be followed to identify and establish an appropriate architecture capability. Architectural Styles: The TOGAF standard is designed to be flexible and it can be used with various architectural styles. Examples are provided both in the TOGAF standard, in Part III: ADM Guidelines & Techniques, and the TOGAF Library. Together these comprise a set of supporting materials that show in detail how the ADM can be applied to specific situations; for example: The varying uses of iteration that are possible within the ADM and when each technique should be applied The various types of architecture development required within an enterprise and how these relate to one another Further details can be found in The Open Group library: https://publications.opengroup.org/ W182 White Paper: An Introduction to the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 N180 Reference Cards: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 Overview Presenter: Mike Lambert, Fellow of The Open Group and Chair of The Open Group Architecture

What is DATA REFERENCE MODEL? What does DATA REFERENCE MODEL mean? DATA REFERENCE MODEL meaning What is DATA REFERENCE MODEL? What does DATA REFERENCE MODEL mean? DATA REFERENCE MODEL meaning - DATA REFERENCE MODEL definition - DATA REFERENCE MODEL explanation. The Data Reference Model (DRM) is one of the five reference models of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA). The DRM is a framework whose primary purpose is to enable information sharing and reuse across the United States federal government via the standard description and discovery of common data and the promotion of uniform data management practices. The DRM describes artifacts which can be generated from the data architectures of federal government agencies. The DRM provides a flexible and standards-based approach to accomplish its purpose. The scope of the DRM is broad, as it may be applied within a single agency, within a Community of Interest (COI), or cross-COI.

Exploring DoDAF and Other Architecture Frameworks in CORE by Ron Kratzke VitechCorp The CORE toolset includes a Systems Architecture schema developed to support the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) description. This webinar will discuss the origins of operational and system architecture principles and the overall approach taken by CORE to support development of operational architectures. The presentation's focus will be on the organization of DoDAF -- one of many architecture framework descriptions available in CORE -- and methods for populating the CORE system architecture schema.

Zachman Framework

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture The Zachman Framework™ is an enterprise ontology and metamodel for enterprise architecture. which provides a formal and structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise. The ontology is a two dimensional classification schema that reflects the intersection between two historical classifications. The Zachman Framework is not a methodology, like the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method (ADM), but rather a template describing how different abstract ideas are viewed from different perspectives. It is an ontology matrix simply that helps to form a logical structure for classifying and organizing artifacts developed in enterprise architecture. Zachman is focused on identifying the different viewpoints that might be relevant for different purposes while TOGAF is focused on the process of developing architectures. Presenter: John A. Zachman
