Ebook Core Business Architecture For A Service-Oriented Enterprise
The pace of global sourcing of business functions is
rapidly increasing as more and more enterprises look not only to outsource the non-core aspects of their business but also to subcontract expertise in areas in which they are lacking. In such an environment, driven primarily by global sourcing of business activity and standardization of various business functions, the business architecture of a service-oriented enterprise is of interest not only for business design but also for the design of the information technology (IT) solutions that affect all aspects of the operations of a business.
The ideas of service offerings and consumption of business services are not new, even though they are done now in a mostly ad hoc manner. Because most businesses today have a service orientation, either as consumers or providers of business services, our focus is on the applicability of the business architecture presented here to the service-oriented enterprise, but the architecture is not limited to such enterprises. Business architecture is widely regarded as the art and science of delivering coherent, dynamic, and complete business designs. When discussing the business architecture of a service-oriented enterprise, we consider five main domains: business value, structure, behavior, policy, and performance. We focus in this paper on the core business architecture, the set of essential elements in each of the five domains, and the interrelationships among these elements.
