4 Course Information COURSE MATERIALS LOCATIONS You will be provided with high quality notes, links to media and references to pursue further investigation. An electronic copy of the book, Value Driven Business Process Management by Franz and Kirchmer will also be provided. WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT? There are now quite a few courses addressing Enterprise Architecture from a methodology point of view (e.g. Open Group's TOGAF or Zachman). There are also courses that address specific vendor applications such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft etc. The former lack detail on how to model applications architectures, how to analyse the resulting models and strategies to achieve better solutions, integration and quality. The latter are too specific and do not address the broader issues of interfaces, interoperation and integration. Moving from the conceptual level, through logical applications and down to physical applications and components, this course covers the levels of application modeling and management required to fully understand applications at an enterprise level. It also discusses existing and emerging technologies to help the organisation leverage application investment to strategic advantage, from high volume transaction processing, to decision support, from secure private data to distributed mobile applications. It further provides an introduction to the emerging fields of SaaS and cloud based applications.

6 Course Information ADDITIONAL INFO Prerequisites There are no formal prerequisites. Target audience Typical candidates would include application architects, integration architects, enterprise architects, senior business analysts and security and privacy specialists responsible for application related aspects. Those concerned with public applications (e.g. the websites, portals, web services, mobile apps and applications) exposed outside their traditional user base will also benefit. Methodology Rich use of examples and selected short videos will be used to stimulate thinking beyond the norm. You will be connected to sources of information for ongoing enrichment. Case study work in small teams allows delegates to perform analysis and devise architectures and strategies. Teams compete and learn from each other before experiencing another facet of the challenge. This course stresses holistic consideration and the interplay of many facets that affect the outcome of architecture decisions. 6
