TQM-Total Quality Management-2011-Information-Arsitecture


Business Architecture (BA) sets the whole enterprise or organization-wide roadmap to achieve the corporate mission

This is possible through the optimal performance of core business processes within an efficient IT environment. In simple words, a BA with good thinking, to carve out the execution of documents - blueprints - as an engineer friend calls them - to systematically and completely defining the organization's current (baseline) and / or desired (target) environment. 

BA is very important to develop information systems and newer systems that optimize business performance. This includes thinking carefully and detailed plans for the transition from the initial environment to target environment; effective, change management. If clear, simply maintained, and implemented correctly, this BA blueprint helps optimize workflow and document the organization's business operations and underlying IT that support operations. Without a full BA and enforced, the organization runs the risk of buying and building systems that duplicative, incompatible, and do not need expensive to maintain. 

Business Architecture is the basis of information-strategic assets, which defines the mission, the information needed to conduct missions and technology necessary to perform the mission, and the process of transition to implement new technologies in response to changing mission needs. Business architecture includes the basic architecture, target architecture, and sequencing plan. 

Architecture is the structure of components, their linkages, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time. 

The organization is any entity supporting certain business scope and mission. An organization includes interdependent resources (people, organizations, and technology) that must coordinate their functions and share information in support of common mission (or series of related missions). 

Baseline is a series of architecture products that describe the company's existing, current business practices, and technical infrastructure. Often referred to as the As-Is architecture. 

The target architecture is a series of products that depict the future or end-state enterprise, generally captured in the organizational strategic thinking and planning. Often referred to as To-Be architecture. 

Sequencing Plan is a document that defines the strategy to transform the company from the basic data for the target architecture. This multiple schedules, concurrent, interdependent activities, and incremental build a company that will evolve. 

Architecture Business Products is the graphics, models, and / or narrative that describes the business environment and design. 

BA terminology brought a lot of variation within each organization and the vast array of literature. Although the term business is defined in terms of organization, it should be understood that in many cases, businesses may exceed the limits established by the organization (eg, sales, marketing, finance and accounting logistics, inventory flow, HR). 

In general, an important reason for developing the BA include: 

Alignment - ensuring the reality of companies carried out in line with management's intention 
Integration - to realize that business rules are consistent across the organization, that the data and its use is changed, the interface and flow of information standards, and connectivity and interoperability are managed across the enterprise 
Change - to facilitate and manage changes to every aspect of company 
Left-to-market - reduce system development, application generation, modernization timeframes, and resource requirements
Convergence - striving toward a standard IT product portfolio 

  
The tangible benefits 

A BA offers tangible benefits for companies and those responsible for developing the company. 

BA can: 

Capturing the facts about the mission, functions, and business foundation in a way that can be understood to promote better planning and decision making 
Improving communication between business organizations and IT organizations within the organization through a standard vocabulary 
Provide architectural views that help communicate the complexity of large systems and facilitate management of large, complex environments 
Focus on the strategic use of emerging technologies to better manage enterprise information and consistently insert those technologies into the enterprise 
Improve consistency, accuracy, timeliness, integrity, quality, availability, access and share information across the enterprise managed IT 
Support the process by providing tools for assessing the benefits, impact, and measurement of investment capital and support the analysis of alternatives, risks, and sacrifice 
Highlight opportunities for building greater quality and flexibility into applications without increasing costs 
Achieving economies of scale by providing mechanisms for sharing services across the organization 
Accelerate the integration of legacy, migration, and new systems 
Ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. The main objective of the BA is to inform, guide, and hampers the decision for the organization, particularly those related to IT investments. The actual challenge is to maintain the architectural engineering firm as the primary authoritative source for enterprise IT planning. This goal is not met by policies enforced, but with the value and utility of information provided by BA. 

Architecture Principles 

There are principles that govern the process of BA and the principles governing the implementation of the architecture

Principles to help design the rules, the rules in turn determines organizational behavior. Architectural principles for the BA process influenced the development, maintenance, and use of BA itself. Architecture Principles for the implementation of the BA first established doctrine and guide decision making related to design and develop information systems. 

Chief Architect, in conjunction with the CIOs and business managers select, define architectural principles that map to the IT organization's vision and strategic plan. Architecture principles should represent fundamental requirements and practices believed to be good for the organization. These principles need to be improved to meet the business needs of the organization. It really should try to act a certain map, such as BA development, system acquisition, and implementation, with the principles of architecture. Deliberate and explicit standards-oriented policies and guidelines for the development and implementation of BA produced in accordance with these principles. Each and every phase of System Life Cycle is supported by actions that are required by the principles of architecture. 
   
Business Life Cycle 

Business life cycle is a dynamic process, repeatedly changing the company from time to time by entering new business processes, new technologies, and new capabilities, and the maintenance and disposition of existing elements of the company. 

Although the BA is the main topic, it can not be discussed without considering the closely related processes. These include business engineering and management program cycle (better known as system development / acquisition life cycle) that assist in the implementation of the BA. 

Upon this process of human resource management and security information management. When this work together, effectively and effectively, organizations can effectively manage IT as a strategic resource and business process enabler. When this process is properly synchronized, the system efficiently migrate from their basic technology legacy environments through evolutionary development and incremental to their target environment, and finally to prove the point that the investment has been worthwhile. 

  
Business Process Architecture 

As a prerequisite for the development of each business architecture, each organization must determine the need to develop a BA and formulate a strategy that includes the definition of the vision, goals, and principles. The picture on the side, showing a representation of the BA. 

Executive buy-in and support should be established and the architectural team that created the organization. 
The team defines the approach and process tailored to the needs of the organization. 
Team architecture implemented process to build both the baseline and the BA target. 
Architecture team also produce sequencing plan to transition systems, applications and related business practices based on a detailed gap analysis. 
This architecture is used in business engineering and program management processes in a way prioritized, incremental projects and incorporate the technology emerged. 
Finally, the architecture is provided through continuous modification to reflect the basic data organization and practice of business targets, objectives, vision, technology, and infrastructure required

Zipcar took the final step in its long process to sell equity shares to the public




In filing yet more papers with the US Securities and Exchange Commission recently, Zipcar took the final step in its long process to sell equity shares to the public.  April 14 is the day when the marketplace will first say what Zipcar is worth.  




Since this is a carsharing industry blog, you may well be wondering why I have been so silent on such a major milestone in the carsharing world.  The reason is I'm a Zipcar stockholder.  (I got my tiny amount of shares as a co-founder of Flexcar and with the so-called "merger" of Flexcar and Zipcar, they became Zipcar shares.)  Under SEC rules, during the IPO process current shareholders must observe a "quiet period", so I have kept my comments to myself.  Like other industry observers, I've been fascinated by the operational detail revealed in Zipcar's SEC filings.   

The whole IPO process has been a long and involved, with detours to buy Streetcar in London and invest in Avancar in Barcelona, but hopefully the IPO will have a good outcome.  Although competitors might wish differently, a successful Zipcar IPO will be another sign that the world is ready for alternatives to cars and car ownership.

2. When a student reaches an age of 25 and he pursues his college education, then health insurance plan’s coverage obtained by the parents is lost. Students would have an individual plan for himself.

Skatteverket-Something that aspiring expats should know about living in a foreign country


After a mere eight months in Sweden, I have finally gotten my Swedish ID card, an accomplishment that represents a triumph of the human spirit over the forces of darkness and the crippling strength of a system greater than myself. (Or something like that.) Watch out, Sweden. Nothing can stop me now!
SUCCESS!!!! Most legitimate non-Swede ever.
Something that aspiring expats should know about living in a foreign country is that there is always something that seems like it should be easy to do and ends up being incredibly difficult just because you don’t have the right kind of driver’s license, for example, or proof of home address. Or citizenship. Or a translated transcript proving that you did, in fact, earn a university degree. Or whatever the requirement of the day is. Then you have to struggle through piles of paperwork to prove that whatever it is that you’re claiming is true and to reprocess your credentials and your personal information into a new system.
The funny thing is that these bureaucratic mountains are always made out of seemingly-mundane molehills. There are so many things you have the luxury of taking for granted when you live in the country you grew up in: opening a bank account, signing a cell phone contract, and getting the internet installed in your home, to name a few. Because you get to tackle these challenges one at a time in your own country and you have a continuous history documenting your identity and your place of residence, you never have to think about how difficult it would be to do the same things as a foreigner.
There are two lessons I’ve learned from hours of pleading (or groveling, depending on the day) with sales representatives and civil servants.
  1. Focus on your goal, not on the system.
  2. Allow yourself the time you need to feel tired and frustrated, to mope, or to rant and rave. But then get over it.
There’s really no reason why it had to take me eight months to get my ID card. I just got annoyed by a system that was not designed with my personal convenience in mind, took it personally, and gave up. I can’t say that this experience really shows me at my best; rather, the fact that it took me so long to complete a fairly simple bureaucratic procedure kind of shows me at my most petulant and irrational. We all have moments like this, though, and it’s certainly a part of the expat experience.
The whole “ID card situation” started last fall when I wanted to get a bank account. I went to the bank with all my documents—passport, visa, etc.—plus my “personbevis,” a certificate from the Swedish government basically saying once again who I am, what my residency status is, and that I’ve been registered as a resident in Sweden.
Not good enough. I was snidely dismissed (or maybe that’s just the way I remember it) and told to get a Swedish ID because all of my other documents together weren’t quite good enough. Never mind that a significant part of Lund’s population is made up of international students, and all they seem to have to do to get a bank account is (a) show up at the bank (b) show their student cards and (c) continue to breathe. I’m not a student and at the time I didn’t have a job, so I was going to have to take the long route.
So I continued down the road from the bank to Skatteverket, the Swedish tax offices. Sweden being the socialist state that it is, nearly everything goes through the tax offices. (Just kidding. April Fool’s!) But then the receptionist at the Skatteverket in Lund tells me that ID cards are only processed at the larger office in Malmö, so I have to go there.
It’s really not that far to go to Malmö, and now I do it nearly every day for work. But at the time it seemed like just another ridiculous hoop to jump through.
Regardless, at the beginning of the next week I show up at Malmö’s Skatteverket, but I barely made it through the door before being sent back home again.
“Hi, I’m here to apply for an ID card.”
“Oh, yesss! That’s wonderful! Did you pay the processing fee yet?”
“Well, no. But I brought 400 crowns in cash.”
“No, you have to pay it ahead of time and bring a receipt. You can do it with an electronic transfer from your bank! Here’s the number.”
And then I was briskly ushered back out through the sliding doors.
After this, I did what most other people would do: I raged about the system to anyone who would listen about how unfair it was to have a bank require an ID card that required a bank account to do an electronic bank transfer in order to apply for the aforementioned ID card. And then my friend Cecile, another American who was also living in Sweden until recently, filled me in on another requirement that I had failed to fully comprehend. When you go to Skatteverket to get your ID, all of your documents are still not enough. You need to bring an “intygsgivare” with you to more or less hold your hand and say, “Yes, here she is with her passport, her driver’s license, her residence permit, and her personbevis, issued by the Swedish government. But I’m also here to say yes, she is who she says she is.” In my case, as a person on a visa to cohabit with a Swedish citizen, my “intygsgivare” can only be my boyfriend. Hey baby, do you mind telling the nice person behind the desk that I am who I say I am? Thank you so much.
I got frustrated and mad, and then I gave up. And that was my real mistake.
I think something you have to keep in mind as an expat is that there are always going to be highs and lows, and it can seem like your life is being made unnecessarily difficult by rules and regulations that weren’t designed with you in mind. Getting mad at the system isn’t going to accomplish anything, though—no one is going to notice or care, and you’re the only one who is going to be inconvenienced by not having something like an ID card. Then there will come a day when you actually need a bank account of your own for some reason, and if you thought it was hard to get it done the first time around, just wait until you need to accomplish the same task in a shorter time frame.
To all you lonely heart Swedes: just imagine, if you bring back a special friend from abroad, you too could have the pleasure of going to Skatteverket and validating his or her identity! The thrills! The excitement! There's no topping an international relationship. Just ask this guy!
In the end, it’s not worth getting that upset about, and you’ll have much better luck just focusing on reaching your goal instead of fixating on all the injustices and indignities along the way. (Or maybe it’s just me that thinks in such dramatic terms.) In any case, I don’t know why the system was created the way it was, but when push comes to shove, it’s not that big of a deal to ask a friend to pay the processing fee via electronic bank transfer and to bring my boyfriend along with me to Skatteverket. Once I had all the requirements in order, it was as simple as going to the office, waiting for a letter in the mail, and then going back to Skatteverket one more time to pick up my ID.
Now as for that bank account… I’ll be tackling that challenge sometime next week. With any luck, it will all go smoothly. And if it doesn’t, well, I might be coming back here with some different advice.
Oh! And lest I forget the most important improvement in my quality of life, post-ID card. Now I can buy alcohol at the Systembolaget without bringing my passport! Assimilation, baby… oh yeah!

My tips for getting an ID card (or completing any bureaucratic task as an expat):

1. Expect that there will to be some level of pain and frustration involved.

Imagine doing the same task in your own country. Was waiting in line at the DMV or the State Department ever pain-free? No. I don’t know what’s like in other countries’ government offices, but my guess is that it’s not fun. It never is. It’s the same here.

2. Focus on your goal, not the flaws in the system.

Want to fix the system? File a complaint. Run for office. Write an editorial. Do something. In the meantime, focus on accomplishing your goal. Whether it’s getting an ID card or something else, just figure out what you have to do and do it.

3. Read all the rules… twice.

Then bring more information than you need.

4. Ask people for help.

Preferably someone you know and like. Even better, someone who likes you back. (Advisable, but not necessary.) And then bake them a cake or something.

5. Try, try, and try again.

Don’t give up. If there’s a process, you’ll figure it out eventually. Giving up will only hurt you.
And good luck!
