Service Description

NovaTek's Enterprise Architecture Development Service results in an enterprise-level specification of proposed business system functionality. It focuses on the functional aspects of the system from the perspective of the system users through enterprise-level characterization of the following system design variables:

• Human resource component
• Business processes employed
• Desirable functionality
• Business information to support functionality
• Usability and human factors
• Performance requirements

Employing our Knowledge-Enabled Business System Development Framework, we identify and understand business needs, business requirements, business and technology constraints, and supporting technology requirements. The end result of this service offering is a fully documented Enterprise Architecture Specification required for detailed business system development.

Key Service Features:

The Enterprise Architecture provides a clear understanding of specific system functionality, process improvements, user considerations, performance metrics, and value guidelines - all of which supports clear communication of system need, intent, and expectations. We believe that effective and judicious development of the Enterprise Architecture is the driving critical success factor to achieving successful business system design because it specifies system form, fit, and function required to achieve the desired business value. The NovaTek Enterprise Architecture Framework is based on The Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, The Open Group Architectural Framework (TOGAF), the DoD Architectural Framework (DoDAF), and the ISO/IEC 10746 Information Technology - Open Distributed Processing - Reference Model (RM-ODP).
