1 Realizing the Real-Time Enterprise July 2012

2 IASA - The Global IT Architects Association The premier association focused on the IT architecture profession through the advancement of best practices, standards and education with the establishment of the IT Architecture Body of Knowledge with the mission to make IT architecture into the most recognized profession worldwide. What is IT Architecture The art and science of designing and delivering valuable technology strategy for the business. i.e. IT Architecture is a profession not a role. Why IT Architecture the IASA Charter: Improving the quality of the IT industry & gradually eliminate the IT pitfalls Developing and delivering standards and education programs Developing certification paths / programs and mentoring IASA Asia Pacific 2011

3 Problems facing the Industry FAILURE is the norm in the IT Industry, Investment suicide is acceptable compared to e.g. Medical malpracfce, Building/ structural collapse Missing: Budget, Timeline, Requirement, FuncFonality 40% of Enterprise Architecture projects have failed in 2010 (Gartner Report) 60% - 70% is the rate of IT projects failed in some way (Standish & Gartner Report) 80%+ of IT budget spent on maintenance only (Forrester Report) 51% CIOs finds it challenging to find SKILLED IT professionals (Robert Half Technology Survey) IT is not a sink hole and shutting down IT is not an option, Industry need IT Architects Problems faced with IT Architects IT Architects can t find the right resources, opera&ng on trial and error - it is in its infancy It is hard to find and hire IT Architects, how does one define/select an IT Architect There is no way to tell a good IT Architect from a bad one and IT Architects seldom in agreement, lack of industry standards IT Architect profession has not been established fully, no formal recogni&on IT failed to deliver business values, fire- figh&ng and reac&ve approach and IT unable to ar&culate the value technology bring to the business IT Architects are not hired to help business fail, they need all the available resources and support to succeed IASA Asia Pacific 2011

4 Understanding IT Architecture IT Architects, equipped with the architecture Skill Sets are responsible for architecting the enterprise technology blueprint to that of the organizations goals and objectives with the appropriate Technology and Framework adoption to bring value to the business. ExisCng Architecture Offerings FRAMEWORK TECHNOLOGY TOGAF, ODAF, MODAF, FEAF, Zachman Enterprise Architecture Framework, etc. SKILL SETS IT Architecture Body of Knowledge contributed regularly by the industry and thought leaders for the industry & community Recently* Available Architecture Offerings (*since 2009) IBM, Cisco, Oracle, SAP, Microsod, Databases, Java &.NET Pla`orms, Cloud, etc. Most of IT Architecture is based on Frameworks and Technologies and are required to be re- learned, re- qualified and re- cerffied for every new releases AND typically Technology, Pla`orm and Vendor specific With the introducfon of IASA IT Architecture Training, Curriculum and CerFficaFon Path based on ITABOK it is now possible to equip the IT Architect pracffoner with the necessary IT Architecture Skill Sets, which is applicable to any IT and business environment IASA Asia Pacific 2011

5 IT Architecture Body of Knowledge ITABoK and Certification Route Map ITABoK - CerCficaCon Route Map ITABoK is based on the 5 foundational pillars and 4 specialisations of IT Architecture which has its input from the Industries best practices and thought leaders that provides a measureable global expectations of skills and capabilities. ITABoK as a basis, makes it possible for the creation and development of the IT Architect s Certification Route Map which is essential for the Professional and the development of their career path.

6 1. IT Architecture Body of Knowledge (ITABoK) The ONLY relevant skill- sets to idenffy EXACTLY how architects are disfnguished from other roles and to CONNECT all specializafons together. Developed only by pracfcing architects with NO vendor influence Framework independent Most in- depth & current skills and capabilifes for all IT architects 4 primary specializafons Business/InformaFon/ Infrastructure/Sodware Over 250+ detailed skills categorized in 5 foundafon pillars

8 What is the Real-Time Enterprise? Real-Time or Right Time? Technology or Methodology? Automation or Collaboration? Business or IT Driven? Cost or Revenue Driven?

9 Goals of the Real-Time Enterprise Reduced response times Increased transparency Increased automation Increased competitiveness Reduced costs

10 Characteristics of Real-Time Enterprise System Event-Driven Automated Integrated Rules before Action More and better data, not better analysis Weak Signal Detection

11 When have you achieved a Real- Time Enterprise? Information available at the Right Time Situationally Aware Detecting Opportunities and Threats Responding with Action

12 Situational Awareness Hierarchy Objective Impact Assessment Situational Assessment Inference and Identification of Derived Events Location, Times and Rates of Events of Interest Detection of Possible Event of Interest Raw Data/Event Cloud Method Analysis of Situation & Planning Predictive Simulation Event Correlation and Business Rule Execution Aggregation, Classification and Statistical Analysis Use of Distributed Sensors and Data Connectors Raw Sensor Data (Passive and Active)

13 A Methodology Event Correlation Real-Time Monitoring Predictive Simulation Visualization & Action Correlate events from multiple data sources by deploying sensors to detect significant business events, perform statistical process analysis and to model business operations for simulation Monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPI s) in Real-Time for Visualization Derived events are evaluated against user configured business rules Perform neat-term predictive simulation in order to detect impending failure and alert business users Employ powerful visualization techniques to achieve situational awareness for the user The user is able to perform real-time response to events

14 What is Event Correlation? Pattern Matching (Temporal, Spatial, Sequence) Event Sources Event Stream Correlation Engine Examples: If ((Delivery Vehicle is less than 80% full) AND (has more than 2 hours buffer time available) AND (within 30 min driving range of New Customer)) Redirect(Delivery Vehicle) If ((More than 3 ATM Cards are used) AND (Used within 4 hours) AND (Used at the same ATM s)) Generate Alert;
