Designing an Information Systems Architecture Capability

About Course

This is Course 7 of the Program “Establishing a Data Management Function.”

This course is an advanced training course for data management professionals. This course has several objectives:

Share knowledge and assist in developing an information systems architecture (ISA) capability within the scope required for a data management initiative
Explain key components that constitute this capability
Assist in developing the ISA capability that fits your company’s needs and resources

After completing this course, you will be able to:

Design the information systems architecture (ISA) capability that fits your company’s needs and resources
Develop an ISA policy
Develop an ISA standard
Design ISA-related roles and processes
Define requirements for an ISA solution
Assess the necessary budget
Perform a quick maturity assessment and develop an action plan

Design the information systems architecture (ISA) capability that fits your company’s needs and resources
Develop a policy: “Information systems architecture”
Develop a standard: “Information systems architecture”
Design ISA-related roles and processes
Define requirements for an ISA solution
Assess the necessary budget
Perform a quick maturity assessment and develop an action plan

Course Content

Introducing the “Data Management Star” Implementation Method
This section provides a high-level overview of the “Data Management Star” implementation method and its Step 2. This method forms the basis for the program “Establishing a Data Management Function.” In this section, we introduce Step 2 of this method, “Defining a DM strategy and designing capabilities.”

Introducing an Information Systems Architecture Capability
This section introduces several key concepts: “Architecture,” “Data architecture,” “Application architecture,” and “Data and IT asset.” We consider several key information systems architecture sub-capabilities required for a data management initiative. In the end, we present six components of the information systems architecture capability that we will develop in this course.

Defining Information Systems Architecture Deliverables
This section will Introduction to key ISA deliverables required for data management: baseline and target architecture, data catalogs, and data flows.

Defining Information Systems Architecture Regulations
This section highlights the content of a policy, “Information Systems Architecture,” and a standard that should regulate the Information Systems Architecture capability.

Defining Information Systems Architecture Processes
This section presents several key Information Systems Architecture processes.

Identifying Information Systems Architecture Roles
This section discusses the roles required to perform this capability at the tactical and operational levels. It demonstrates an example of the RACI matrix.

Choosing an Information Systems Architecture Tool
This section explains several definitions of several terms “tool,” “need,” “requirement,” “solution,” “software product,” and “functionality. Then, we demonstrate how to choose an Information Systems Architecture tool by defining requirements for IT solutions, products, and functionality that meet a company’s needs and requirements.

Specifying an Information Systems Architecture Budget
This section discusses the factors that influence an Information Systems Architecture budget and represents the budget structure.

Developing Further Steps
This section demonstrates a method to assess the current and desired statuses of the Information Systems Architecture capability. It also advises on drafting an action plan to reach the desired level.
