Conception of an enterprise architecture management

Objective

Due to the complex system landscape of the TGW Logistics Group and the lacking decision-making capability of projects, the establishment of an enterprise architecture management incl. a role, processes and tool support was recommended. The goal of this project is to create the necessary concepts for the role and to establish and exercise it.

Approach

• Creation of a rough concept for enterprise architecture (EAM) & application lifecycle management (ALM)
• Requirements gathering and tool selection (ADO-IT)
• (Partly) automated creation of an application portfolio by developing a tool for collecting application data for ADO-IT
• Development of the roles and processes in enterprise architecture and coaching over two years:
  • Content validation of internal projects in demand management
  • Documentation of system architectures
  • Continuous further development of the concept (templates, rituals, process)

Result

• Concept and documentation for EAM & ALM
• Introduced ADO-IT incl. connection to ADONIS
• Documented TGW application landscape in ADO-IT
• Established IT-EA role in the demand management process
