Enterprise Architecture for Global Companies in a Digital IT Era: Adaptive Integrated Digital Architecture Framework (AIDAF)

Description

This book investigates solutions incorporated by architecture boards in global enterprises to resolve issues and mitigate related architecture risks, while also proposing and implementing an adaptive integrated digital architecture framework (AIDAF) and related models and approaches/platforms, which can be applied in companies to promote IT strategies using cloud/mobile IT/digital IT. The book is divided into three main parts, the first of which (Chapters 1–2) addresses the background and motivation for AIDAF aligned with digital IT strategies. The second part (Chapter 3) provides an overview of strategic enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks for digital IT, elaborates on the essential elements of EA frameworks in the digital IT era, and advocates using AIDAF, models for architecture assessment/risk management, knowledge management on digital platforms. In turn, the third part (Chapters 4–7) demonstrates the application and benefits of AIDAF and related models, as shown in three case studies. “I found this book to be a very nice contribution to the EA community of practice. I can recommend this book as a textbook for digital IT strategists/practitioners, EA practitioners, students in universities and graduate schools.” (From the Foreword by Scott A. Bernard) “In this new age of the digital information society, it is necessary to advocate a new EA framework. This book provides state-of-the art knowledge and practices about EA frameworks beneficial for IT practitioners, IT strategists, CIO, IT architects, and even students. It serves as an introductory textbook for all who drive the information society in this era.”(From the Foreword by Jun Murai) Front Matter ....Pages i-xx Introduction (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 1-16 Direction of Digital IT and Enterprise Architecture (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 17-59 Strategic Architecture Framework Aligned with IT Strategy Promoting Cloud/Mobile IT/Digital IT (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 61-88 Evaluation for EA Framework Implementation Method (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 89-98 Evaluation of Architecture Board Review Process with Knowledge Management (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 99-116 Evaluation for Risk Management Approach for Digital Transformation (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 117-127 Overall Evaluation and Perspectives (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 129-142 Conclusion (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 143-146 Future Direction—Open Healthcare Platform 2030 and IoT Healthcare Platform (Yoshimasa Masuda, Murlikrishna Viswanathan)....Pages 147-151 Back Matter ....Pages 153-158
