Functional IT Infrastructure Architecture using ArchiMate
Harmen van den Berg, Partner & Co-founder, BiZZdesign
Traditionally, IT Infrastructure is the realm of vendors and engineers. This results in solutions that are defined by the supply side, which do not always fit to business needs. With the Open Infrastructure Architecture method (OIAm), it’s possible to define infrastructure requirements in a functional way. This has been success-fully applied in many cases to direct the development process of infrastructure solutions. In this presentation we show the key elements of OIAm, and how the ArchiMate language provides a grammar for OIAM.

Key message:
• Shift from a constructional to a functional view on infrastructure to master complexity

Managing complexity and business transformation for a financial service provider
Markus Schneider, Senior Management Consultant at BOC Group
This case study describes the cornerstones and success factors of the enterprise architecture approach at a swiss financial service provider. This company manages their architecture based on well-established processes, bridging the gap between strategy and operation. With their architecture programme, the or-ganisation pursues sustainable development of information technology well-aligned to the business and strategy as well as the control of complexity of the IT landscape.

Case study: Making a product enterprise ready
John Schlesinger, Chief Enterprise Architect at Temenos
The presentation is about making the Temenos product line, designed initially for small banks, suitable for all banks from the smallest to the largest. This involved creating two frameworks for heterogeneity, moving to model driven development, creating a framework for componentisation (and modularity) that introduced sound software engineering techniques, stopping the SOA nonsense, endorsing the strategy of compiling both for Java and .NET and separating the database into a transactional part and a reporting part.

Case study: Implement EA from scratch by applying an agile approach
Kai Schluter, Director of Enterprise Architecture at Danfoss
The presentation will cover the journey of implementing Enterprise Architecture from scratch in a high complex environment. Danfoss A/S operates 58 factories in 18 countries and is present in 55 countries and has grown a decent IT complexity with an increasing desire to add more solutions faster and cheaper than ever. The journey will show the pre Enterprise Architecture stage and what decisions have been taken based on the given circumstances to implement and embed Enterprise Architecture by using an agile approach. The step-by-step presentation will include an outlook in the near and far future of the Enterprise Architecture capability in Danfoss.

“A Pragmatic Approach to Enterprise Transformation and Frameworks”
Kevin L Smith, Founder of PEAF
The Pragmatic Enterprise Transformation Framework (PETF) set’s this context for the people involved in Transformation. Kevin Smith will discuss how they fit into the transformation story and how the work they do relates to those around them from strategic intent down to physically deployed changes to people, processes and technology.

Panel 2: Methods, Solutions and Frameworks – Panel Speakers:
Kai Schluter, Danfoss; Dr Harmen Van Den Berg, Partner & Co-founder, BiZZdesign; Steve Nimmons, Atos Consulting; Gabriel Maties, Gala Coral Group; Philip Hellyer; Carphone Warehouse

Topics of discussion for Methods, Solutions and Frameworks panel:

• If social topics (people, culture, empathy, etc) are put as number 1 reason to success and failure, why do those topics have so limited space in the current methods, solutions and frameworks?
• Are the right people doing Enterprise Architecture at the moment?
