1 Introduction
EA is a technique, a conceptual framework, and a shared language all rolled into one. It explains
the organization of domains, standards, and connections across domains. It consists of
methodologies, models, and tools that are continually evolving. It's used to create integrated
technological solutions, align domains, improve processes, close gaps, plan transformations, and
figure out how a company can best accomplish its objectives. Not every person has had a good
time. Enterprise architecture allows you to “rationalize” and standardize things: all a new project
needs to do is decide which patterns to employ, and then everyone knows what to do! Everything
else will blend in with the chosen patterns. Project teams don't have to choose the server kinds,
number of CPUs, and so on by hand; it's all part of the pattern! Enterprise design facilitates
change by providing repeatable patterns that make the process of transforming your company
easier.
Goldkeeper is mid-sized company which recently made a decision to implement EA practice to
take all the advantages and get rid of growing problems around the poor IT management.
Another company CommTech is having different sectors which are Unit Gamma, Unit Beta and
Unit Alpha. The current business architecture project investigates the requirement for an
ameliorative architecture to systemize a productive environment at Unit Beta, one of the top
Italian steel production companies. It should broaden its enterprise architect efforts to include
operational systems such as EQMS, IEM, application performance management.

Q.N 1
Among above five enterprise architectures, following two architecture can facilitate informed
decision making among business stakeholders.
Progress OpenEdge
OpenEdge 12 gives you the execution, accessibility, nimbleness, and security you wish to speed
up your application advancement. Studied approximately the exceptional upgrades and modern
highlights in OpenEdge 12 that will empower you to rapidly turn to meet showcase requests,
scale the application as your trade requires, and drastically make strides execution, permitting
the organization to decrease time to showcase, increment efficiencies, spare cash, and stay
competitive.
LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Suite
The LeanIX Undertaking Engineering Suite (EAS) may be a Software-as-a-Service arrangement
that permits Undertaking Modelers to form and keep up a straightforward as-is IT environment,
arrange roadmaps within the setting of trade objectives, and execute change activities.
Q. N 2
The firm may obtain the most value out of their EA tool by following some best EA tool practices,
as shown below in the enterprise architecture assignment:

Ascertain that all stakeholders are aware of the situation, the project, as well as its
advantages and disadvantages and as a result, earn the support.

Examine stakeholder reactions to the project and the elements that must be included in
the plan project in order to obtain their approval.

Work on initiatives and ideas that are unique to the mission.

Ownership of a service with a lower total cost of ownership

At the departmental level, encourage greater creativity.
It can start piloting business architecture and evolve the function of software packages. Because
a modest investment can result in a big increase in value, the company should seek management
support for it. The organization should use the same framework and terminology throughout the
organization. For future scenarios, the organization must make an effort to improve its
architecture.
Q.N 3
Because it addresses consumer demands, the EA tool specified in the enterprise architecture
assignment may assist the firm in a variety of ways. Internal capabilities, business procedures
that have been upgraded, and so on. The tools are also useful in the application area, as they
encompass technical programs and IT systems. It keeps track of vendor items, monitors custom
software, and so on. Working in the data domain entails data entities, structures, and so on.
Interfaces, client-consumer and business-to-business connections, and interaction protocols are
all covered within the integration area. Hardware, operating systems, and networks, for example,
are all included in the infrastructure domain. Firewalls, authentication techniques, identity and
access management systems, encryption, and other security domains are covered.
EA is concerned with the arrangement of trade and IT frameworks. Venture modelers work to
coordinate trade forms and structures with the IT frameworks that bolster them. In later a long
time, a few EA systems have been created. EA systems are recognized by a modeling worldview
in which the enterprise's multi-disciplinary nature and IT frameworks are modeled at different
levels. Each level reflects reality as seen through the eyes of a distinctive master, such as
showcasing, trade method, and IT improvement. Confirming the arrangement and traceability
between the layers could be a major issue with this modeling approach.
2.2 Report: Part-II
Q.N 1
For the Commtech company followings can be roles that landscapes as EA Artifacts.

Assets Registration

Representation of knowledge base of reference materials

Manage the lifecycle of IT assets

Plan new initiatives

Increase reuse and reduce duplication of IT assets and improve IT agility
They provide high-level views of an organization's IT infrastructure, aiding in the reduction of
inefficiency, complexity, and redundancy, as well as the development of new IT projects more
quickly.
Q.N 2
Q.N 3
Unit Gamma's CIO has expressed dissatisfaction with the EA tool they purchased. Following then,
the company experienced trouble downloading EA due to a variety of issues. The vendor
selection is one of the most common errors highlighted in this enterprise architecture assignment
that a business may make throughout the EA implementation process. The EA tool is a pricey and
delicate installation. Though the subscription isn't expensive, developing an enterprise model
takes a lot of time and work. The EA tool should accomplish the business goal that Unit Gamma's
EA tool failed to accomplish. As a result, the Unit Gamma IT team most likely picked the incorrect
EA teams, who aren't aware of the latest technological trends.
Q.N 4
Unit Gamma, as a major investment firm, has a number of EA areas that contribute to its overall
business strategy. The tools in question include business process design, non-technical tool,
business process management, software design, and software development tool. As part of the
same concept, such EA tools assist in offering storing domains. It establishes connections
between various architecture components that are important to the business model. It facilitates
the examination of changing business effect. It aids in the preservation of architectural
coherence. Sometimes the tools are customized for certain stakeholders. It enables the
company's strategy to adapt to the changing competitive landscape.
Q.N 5
Unit Beta requires a variety of architectures to handle about 190 to 200 qualified business
architects for following artefacts that will assist it in managing the evolution: Consider: This is a high-level imperative that defines company. The team of consideration objects
will reflect the architect team's planned decisions. Due to the dual nature of the considerations,
business leaders can implicitly design Unit Beta's IT landscape. Though IT infrastructure is rarely
mentioned directly in discussions.
Standard: This is a low-level, specialized technical guideline. This artefact lays forth a vision for
how the IT landscape should be constructed and organized. It aids in the unification of the IT
landscape and the reduction of complexity. As a result, this architect speeds up the development
of new IT systems.
Vision: This artefact is a one-page schematic, according to the enterprise architecture assignment
research. It gives you a bird's-eye view of the entire company. It's very much in line with the
concept of 'consideration.' Vision aids in determining what has to be done to carry out the
business growth plan. The dual nature of Vision enables company executives to expand their IT
landscape invisibly.
Landscape: Landscape is a type of formal diagram. It shows the IT environment from a technical
standpoint. Landscapes created by business architects are generally utilized for two purposes:
For design purposes, it aids in determining which IT infrastructure is redundant. It aids in the
planning of IT project designs and the connection of new projects to current infrastructure.
Outline: This is high-level overview of IT initiatives from a value standpoint. The outline is usually
started with the vision and is compatible with the concerns; take use of the landscapes. It also
has a dual character, allowing corporate leaders to keep track of all IT expenditures.
Design: Designs provide a thorough technical description of IT systems for those who will be
implementing them. As stated in the business architecture assignment, it is based on the Outline
and adheres to the "standard" while fitting within the landscapes. The ‘design' is used by IT teams
to carry out the project as intended. Because of the dual nature of design, IT teams may provide
internationally efficient IT systems without even realizing it.
It should process the automation systems further. If Unit Beta takes the steps made by IoT, the
corporate design can become more about social welfare and less on IT systems; smart linked
assets permit smart operating systems and can accomplish. The approach emphasizes the need
of carrying the two sides of the company together. Making an EA team initially is the best
approach to apply the architectural plan. Multiple layers would make up the team, with a
substantial cross-functional representation. The team will also be involved in managerial tasks to
help shape the company's direction and strategy. In addition, the team must participate in the
following responsibilities as part of the enterprise architecture assignment: 
To demonstrate the planning strategy to the team and employees through a session.

To give a graphic representation of what Enterprise Architecture is.

Determine the architecture's core

To confirm management's commitment to architectural process, such as the maintenance
team's willingness to purchase solutions to maintenance issues. The IT department would
then purchase the ERP. The MOM system for the factory floor would be purchased by the
operational team, while the quality team would need to purchase specialized quality
solutions.
As a result, the enterprise architecture assignment might declare that the enterprise design effort
will assist to avoid unnecessary duplication of functionality and, as a result, reduce the number
of IT systems. As a result, the entire information flow will be improved.
2.3 Report: Part-III
Q.N 1
Cloud benefits continue to increase with the addition of new services, thorough research, and
innovations that continue to push the boundaries of the underlying technology and architecture.
Some benefits of implementing cloud computing in Moneybank can be follow as:
1. Cost:
Most of you would agree that getting operating expenditure (OPEX) approval is simpler than
getting capital expenditure (CAPEX) permission, particularly when it comes to points below:
• No depreciation
• No long justification
• No weekly evaluation of system use
• After the project is completed, there is no need to rearrange computer resources.
2. Option
In most situations, choice as a benefit has no bounds and is only limited by your OPEX budget.
You may pick from a wide range of services to meet your company needs: Platform as a Service
(PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Business Process as a
Service (BPaaS) are some of the terms used to describe cloud computing
3. Scale: Elasticity and flexibility
Holiday online shopping is a wonderful illustration of cloud technology's scalability, since
merchants must plan for 1,000 times more customers connecting to their websites during the
holiday season than during ordinary months. In other situations, a firm may require temporary
computer capacity in order to monitor consumer reaction to its products. To satisfy these
requirements, Cloud may deliver the following services:
• The ability to switch between private and public networks on the fly to test new applications
• Temporary storage expansion to support a marketing campaign or event
4. Quickness
The ability to be first to market is one of a company's key differentiators; such differentiators
equate to execution speed, as shown in the following examples:
• Virtual resources are more easily adaptable to corporate objectives.
• On-demand access to solid-state drive (SSD) technology improves application speed • Rapid
increase of bandwidth speed as needed There's no red tape—cloud adjusts to changes in the
technology landscape with ease.
5. Planning for Business Continuity (BCP)
BCP is an excellent example of one of the many benefits of cloud computing and how it can be
utilized as an extension of your IT and business.
• Cold or hot backup for disaster recovery is possible with BCP.
• High-redundancy or high-failover disaster recovery
• Data backup and deduplication
• Procedures for recovery are being tested and verified.
Q.N 2
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of various hardware and software services via the internet
via a network of remote computers. These far-flung servers are storing, preserving, and
processing data that enables customers to scale up or down their current architecture. We've
elaborated on some of their findings and highlighted other cloud computing difficulties that
companies may encounter to address the core question of what are the hurdles to cloud
computing.
1. Concerns about security
Cloud computing security issues have risen to the top of respondents' concerns in 2018,
according to 77 percent of those polled. The most often reported cloud concern for a long time
was a lack of resources/expertise. In 2018, security, on the other side, improved. While you're
looking through a provider's security and privacy policies, make sure the third most essential
issue is taken care of: compliance. Your firm must be able to comply with regulations and
standards regardless of where your data is stored. Make sure the provider has strict data recovery
processes when it comes to storage.
Solution: Cloud computing security problems have become a reality for all organizations, large
and small. As a result, putting in place a secure BI cloud application is important.
2. Cost control and management
The cost of cloud computing comes in third on our list of cloud computing dangers. In most
situations, cloud computing may save businesses money. In the cloud, a company may easily
scale up its processing capability without needing to invest in new gear. To acquire additional
processing, businesses might instead employ public cloud providers' pay-as-you-go techniques.
However, because cloud computing services are on-demand and scalable, estimating volumes
and costs can be difficult.
Solution: Fortunately, there are a variety of strategies to keep cloud costs under control, such as
improving financial analytics and reporting, automating governance requirements, and keeping
the management reporting process on track, so that these cloud computing problems may be
handled.
3. A scarcity of resources and skills
A lack of resources and/or understanding is one of the current cloud challenges that enterprises
and organizations face. Organizations are increasingly putting more workloads in the cloud as
cloud technologies advance at a rapid rate. As a result of these difficulties, businesses are finding
it difficult to keep up with the tools. Furthermore, the need for knowledge is growing. Additional
IT and development team training may be beneficial in resolving these problems. A strong CIO
who promotes cloud usage is also advantageous.
Solution: It may be too costly for SME (small and medium-sized) IT teams to add cloud expertise.
Many of these professions' regular duties, fortunately, can be automated. Organizations are
turning to DevOps tools like Chef and Puppet to perform tasks like resource monitoring and
automated backups at certain intervals in order to achieve this goal. These technologies can also
help with cloud pricing, governance, and security.
4. Management and Control
Cloud computing presents a number of problems, with governance/control ranking fourth. IT
governance guarantees that IT assets are installed and utilized in accordance with agreed-upon
rules and processes, are appropriately regulated and maintained, and support your
organization's strategy and business goals. In today's cloud-based world, IT does not necessarily
have total control over infrastructure provisioning, de-provisioning, and operations. IT's role of
delivering governance, compliance, risk, and data quality management has become more difficult
as a result.
Solution: To handle the various risks and uncertainties involved with cloud migration, IT must alter
its traditional IT governance and control processes to include the cloud. In this sense, the role of
central IT teams in the cloud has developed over the last few years. Central IT is increasingly
supporting business units with cloud service selection, brokering, and management. Governance

computing/management firms.
5. Usage and acceptance by segment
Most businesses didn't have a robust cloud adoption strategy in place when they first started
shifting to the cloud. Ad hoc strategies arose as a result, fueled by a number of causes. One of
them was the rate at which cloud computing was gaining popularity. The staggered expiration of
data center contracts and equipment was another cause for intermittent cloud migration. For
specific apps or projects, individual development teams also used the public cloud. As a result of
these initial settings, full integration and maturation issues have developed.
Solution: Over half of decision-makers believe their IT staff will be unprepared to deal with cloud
computing industry challenges and manage their cloud resources in the next five years. Because
businesses are deploying cloud solutions at a quicker rate than ever before, it's important that
employees keep up to date and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
Q.N 3
The main difference between Cloud computing, big data and Enterprise Architecture
Q.N 5
A well-designed enterprise architectural governance framework may help cut IT costs and risks
while also speeding up decision-making and delivery. EA governance guarantees that an EA
program is effectively managed, resulting in artifacts and plans that accurately reflect the
organization's goals and needs. EA governance also guarantees that investment choices are
aligned with the EA from start to finish. Typically, architecture governance operates within a
hierarchy of governance structures, which might encompass all of the following as discrete
domains with their own disciplines and procedures, particularly in bigger enterprises:

Corporate governance

IT governance

Technology governance

Architecture governance
Corporate governance committee
The goal of governance is to ensure that business is done appropriately. It's less about overt
supervision and rigorous obedience to regulations and more about advice and effective and fair
resource allocation to ensure a company's strategic goals are met.. The Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development has identified the basic principles of corporate
governance, which are outlined below.
The book focuses on the rights, responsibilities, and fair treatment of shareholders.
The board's responsibilities in terms of disclosure and transparency
Ensures:

The organization's strategic direction should be sound.

The board's effective management oversight

Accountability of the board of directors to the company and to the shareholders

Responsibilities of the Board:
Technology Governance Committee
Technology governance is a crucial competence, necessity, and resource for most companies due
to the pervasiveness of technology across the organizational spectrum.
Many businesses, according to recent studies, have a balance that favors intangibles over
tangibles that require administration.
These advancements also highlight how companies rely on the processes, systems, and
structures that produce, transport, and consume information, not just the information itself. As
the move to generating value through intangibles increases in various industrial sectors, risk
management must be viewed as a key to recognizing and regulating new problems, risks, and
opportunities.
IT Governance
IT governance creates a framework and structure for connecting IT resources and data to
business goals and strategy. IT governance also codifies best practices for planning, purchasing,
deploying, and monitoring IT performance in order to guarantee that the company's IT assets
serve the company's business objectives. In recent years, IT governance has become increasingly
crucial in the efficient governance of modern enterprises. Businesses are growing increasingly
reliant on IT to support essential business activities and processes, and they must successfully
manage the sophisticated technology that penetrates the company in order to achieve a
competitive edge.
Architecture governance Committee
Architectural governance is the practice and viewpoint through which enterprise architectures
and other architectures are governed and regulated at the enterprise level. It includes the
following items: A system of controls over the development and monitoring of all architectural
components and activities will be developed to ensure the correct introduction, application, and
evolution of architectures inside the business. Creating a system to ensure that internal and
external standards and regulatory obligations are satisfied.
Furthermore, as a result of an increase in reports of information system failures and electronic
fraud, regulatory environments throughout the world are requiring more stringent enterprise
information control. IT risk management is now universally acknowledged as a critical component
of corporate governance.
As a result, senior management must support the creation of an IT governance plan and an
appropriate structure to implement it, establishing who owns the enterprise's IT resources and,
in particular, who has ultimate responsibility for their enterprise-wide integration.
3. Conclusion and Recommendation
IT is becoming increasingly important to businesses, not just for their operations and profitability,
but also for their reputation, brand, and, ultimately, their value. The term "enterprise
architecture" is frequently used to refer to information technology. In this post, I'll present a
simpler, top-down approach to enterprise design in the context of SOA (service-oriented
architecture), with an emphasis on information technology and the goal of improving businessIT alignment. Enterprise architecture governance (EA governance) is a discipline that
encompasses all aspect of a company's operations. To support an organization's objectives, it
requires strong leadership, a full grasp of organizational structure, clear direction, and the
execution of appropriate IT procedures. Enterprise architecture facilitates change by providing
repeatable patterns that make the process of changing your organization easier.
Throughout all the reports, I am able to understand properly the working of Enterprise
architecture planning, framework and enterprise architecture governance. If reduced to a single
goal, EA governance seeks to integrate an organization's architectural requirements into a
coherent collection of rules, processes, procedures, and standards, all of which help to guarantee
that an organization's visions and standards are in accordance with real-world business needs.
