Roles and Responsibilities Needed for an Effective Assessment
Published in Sanjiv Purba, IT Project Health Checks, 2022
Look for one or more architects to be responsible for the different types of “As-Is” and “To-Be” architectures in the solution. Some of these include Data Architecture, Reference Architecture, Technical Architecture, Business Architecture, Solution Architecture, and Process Architecture. There can also be conceptual and physical models of each. An absence of “As-Is” and “To-Be” views is a red flag that requires deeper investigation in the interview process.Overall ownership over the non-functional requirementsMap Working Environments:align with other teams to coordinate population of the environments at different points in the workstreamEnsure effective migration from one environment to anotherEnsure effective setup of development, test, user acceptance test, training, and production environmentEnsure disaster recovery and contingency environments have been established and testedSupport conducting proof of concepts to verify that non-functional requirements are being met and there are no showstoppers in the designEnsure cross-development teams are coordinating efforts and best practices e.g. reusing codeEnsure that technical issues are tracked and resolvedResearch technical feasibility of different solutionsWork closely with the other leads to ensure that solutions will work as designedShare established technical standards for the projectEnsure that the final architectures will meet the requirements of the initiativeEnsure that the final architectures are cost-effective and provide value into the future (e.g. optimize the total cost of ownership)
Managing digital transformation of smart cities through enterprise architecture – a review and research agenda
Published in Enterprise Information Systems, 2021
The Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) entails systems and models required to implement and maintain single, virtual, extended or integrated cities. The goal of GERAM is to design and maintain the entire city eco-system by providing data while supporting city to identifying overlaps and adding benefits. The GERAM EA comprises of identification, concept, requirements, design, implementation, operation and decommission. The Oracle Enterprise Architecture Framework (OEAF) comprises of a collection of valuable solution architecture artefacts that enables Oracle’s services and products. OEAF was proposed based on TOGAF, FEAF and Gartner framework to provide efficient, IT business-driven model in helping stakeholders align IT and business initiatives (Oracle 2009). OEAF components comprises of business, application, information, technology layers, as well as EA repository, governance, people, process and tools (Oracle 2009).
Smart city data architecture for energy prosumption in municipalities: concepts, requirements, and future directions

The Oracle Enterprise Architecture Framework (OEAF) encompasses a collection of valuable solution architecture artifacts that facilitates Oracle’s broad services and products portfolio. OEAF was developed based on the influence of TOGAF, FEAF, and Gartner framework to provide efficient, business-driven approach in helping stakeholders align IT and business strategies (Oracle 2009). OEAF supports Oracle to collaboratively work with clients to develop a strategic roadmaps and architectural solutions that aligns business and IT. Thus, by focusing on business outcome and IT assets OEAF can be employed to proficiently create an architecture roadmap for employing enterprise-driven business solutions (Oracle 2009). OEAF corresponds to other EA frameworks by clearly mapping FEA and TOGAF, such that customers can use OEAF framework to influence the strengths of the different frameworks and integrate it with Oracle’s experience in designing enterprise solutions. (Oracle 2009). Furthermore, OEAF provides an architectural structure for disseminating Oracle’s vast intellectual capital related to enterprise IT solutions with its clients and associates, thereby improving Oracle’s strategic enterprise value proposition. Thus, fostering agile enterprise architecture capabilities in linking business requirements to IT initiatives in achieving organizational goals. OEAF includes business, application, information, technology layers, as well as EA repository, governance, people, process, and tools (Oracle 2009).
