EIM Vision & Strategy
EIM Vision & Strategy
Vision
This is a statement of what EIM is and what value it shall bring to the enterprise.
(Xtensible Solutions assisted with the initial development of the vision. Using this
model to initially support the Oncor AMI program, but will be expanded to the
remainder of Oncor.)
Mission
This is a statement of why and how EIM program will bring value to the enterprise
and help achieve the EIM vision. (Xtensible Solutions assisted with the initial
development of the mission. Using this model to initially support the Oncor AMI
program, but will be expanded to the remainder of Oncor.)
Strategy
Goals &
Objectives
Value
Propositions
The strategy to be executed to achieve the EIM vision and mission. (Xtensible
Solutions assisted with the initial development of the strategy. Using this concept
as part of the Oncor AMI program.)
Specific goals and objectives that the EIM strategy and program would like to
achieve in accordance with the vision and mission. (Xtensible Solutions assisted
with the initial development of the goals / objectives.)
Specific business and technology value (tangible and intangible, strategy and
tactical) that the EIM strategy and program would provide, as well as specific
metrics including ROI associated with EIM. (Xtensible Solutions assisted with the
initial development of the value propositions.)

Alignment
Reference Model
This establishes the business and IT executive sponsorships that are required to
ensure proper support, buy-in, and success of EIM program. Includes steering
committee with members from business and IT and specified decision making roles
and responsibilities. The executive sponsorship has been established and the
steering committees are being established.
This establishes the data and information ownership (stewardship) structure,
policies and procedures, and relationships to organization functional and process
roles and responsibilities.
This provides the essential policies, principles and tenets for what EIM is and how
EIM will be conducted and enforced with business/IT functions and programs.
This provides the structure, relationship, and policies and procedures necessary to
align EIM vision and strategy with business vision and strategy as well as
enterprise architecture goals and objectives. Alignment with major programs is a
critical part of this component.
This provides the overall governance reference model of the EIM program, and
includes the reference architecture model showing the key components of EIM
capabilities and services, which provides the foundation for alignment analysis and
recommendations.

EIM Core Processes
EIM Core Processes
Data Quality
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to identify, analyze, improve, and measure the data quality
issues and improvement efforts. These processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Data Integrity
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to identify, analyze, improve, and measure the data
integrity issues and improvement efforts. These processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Data Security/
Protection
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to ensure corporate data and information is secure
and protected, and managed according to the corporate policies and regulatory mandates. These processes will
expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Data Lifecycle
Management
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to govern how to create, classify, update, use,
distribute, and archive, and obsolete data and information, for new projects as well as ongoing maintenance. These
processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Data Movement
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to identify and guide how data should be managed
when they are moved around the enterprise and Line of Business systems, applications, and data files. These
processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Semantic
Management
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to manage and use the business and IT semantics
(that is business terms and definitions, metadata management, enterprise semantic models management, semantic
integration etc. ). These processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Database
Management
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to manage the physical corporate databases and data
files. These processes will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Master Data
Management
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to manage the creation, maintenance, distribution, and
usage of corporate master and/or reference data entities to support business processes and business transactions
with the objectives of improving data quality and integrity, improving data and information accuracy, and reducing
process inefficiencies. These process will expand across Oncor Enterprise.
Information
Services
As part of the Oncor AMI program, processes were established to maintain and use actual data and aggregation
services in the form of reusable software components for business systems and processes to share and leverage data
and information across both transactional and analytical needs. These processes will expand across Oncor
Enterprise.
Services &
Support Mgmt
Processes for the EIM program and/or organization to provide functional services and support to the rest of enterprise
IT and business organizations and projects. This function is being defined as part of the AMI program.

Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators to be established for the EIM
organization or program to be measured. Oncor has not established Critical Success
Factors and Key Performance Indicators.
The EIM organizational structure internally and externally, with focus on not only how it is
organized internally but also how it interacts with external stakeholders and users of EIM
services. The core EIM organization is being established to support the future Oncor
requirements, with initial structures in place to support both internal and external
processes.
Roles and responsibilities of every position within the organization. The core EIM
organization is being established to support the future Oncor requirements, and the
overall roles and responsibilities are being defined during this process.
A list of functional services and core competencies relative to the EIM core processes that this
organization would provide internally and externally. Alignment and reference to other IT
services will be defined as well The core EIM organization is being established to support
the future Oncor requirements, and the functional services are being defined during
this process.
How will the EIM organization manage the relationship with business and IT to ensure that
business value is delivered and measured in accordance with the CSFs and KPIs established?
The core EIM organization is being established to support the future Oncor
requirements, and the business value along with the relationship management are

Architecture Blueprint
Management
The AMI program is being used to establish an Information Architecture
Blueprint which will be used to manage the Oncor Enterprise Architecture
and IT core competencies. This is based on the IBM Reference
Architecture.
Technologies
(DBMS, Content Mgmt,
ETL, EAI, EII, Data
Modeling, BI/DW,
Collaboration, ……)
A portfolio of technologies required to provide the basic and advanced EIM
services where identified and acquired to support the Oncor Enterprise
Architecture. These include technologies such as the Oracle DBMS,
Informatica ETL, Tibco Enterprise Service Bus, MOSS / Projectwise Content
Management / Collaboration, Cognos BI Tool, InfoSphere Information
Analyzer, InfoSphere Business Glossary, InfoSphere Metadata Workbench
etc.
Knowledgebase and
Repositories
Oncor is in the initial phases of establishing a knowledgebase of EIM best
practices and methodologies. Some of the key themes being considered are
security, quality assurance, program management, technical infrastructure,
metadata, data quality, solution outline and BI planning / strategy.
Standards & Best
Practices
Oncor Electric Delivery
The Oncor EIM program adopted the Common Information Model (CIM)
standards, and using the AMI program to establish best practices in
developing an Oncor Enterprise Architecture.
