  and IT

Today, IT is integral to the business

  integrated and vital asset to the business

• IT must drive efficiency and revenue, and provide
  measurable, clear return on investment.
• Business must have easy, seamless access to the
  services needed to be successful

  business.

  sustainability, business process and optimization

  processes

OMG and BE

• SOA-C is about capturing business processes and
  governing the extension of existing processes to
  new capabilities
• BPM-C is about optimizing existing processes,
  finding opportunities for reuse and focusing
  efforts on business targets
• GCIO is about finding economies in processes
  throughout the business that can minimize
  resource usage without downgrading value or
  efficiency
• OMG standards are about amortizing costs over a
  larger marketplace, minimize systems
  interoperability and portability costs to give
  the business flexibility and agility

10
What is an Actionable Architecture

• Actionable Architecture
• Output of business process analysis
• Includes decisions that maximize value and
  minimize waste
• Examples
• Creation, automation or termination of a business
  process
• Movement of an automated process to the public
  cloud, private cloud, or in-house computing
  utility
• Initiating governance of a process --
  computing-related or not -- to lean and/or green
  that process
• Identification of opportunities to minimize waste
  (of people, computing resources, electricity,
  water, paper, etc.)
• Reuse of existing processes in new ways to
  support a new business capability
