Tools to support Architecture Continuum Development

To support the Architecture Continuum Development Enterprise Architects offers the following tools:

AAM/Architecture Modeling Full	Modeling and Managing all Arcitecture components in Archimate 3.0⁺
DtA/Design to Architecture	Design to Architecture: based on the different Transition Support tool designs it is possible to retrieve the designs in Archimate models to check the results of the developments against the PSA or generate the PEA
DAC/Design to Architecture Continuum	Storing the Designs from the Design Continuum into the Architecture Continuum

Tools to support Transition

To support the Transition Enterprise Architects offers the following solutions and tools:

AFR/Function Requirement	Defining the PROSA requirements for each Knowledge Function of the solution
APR/PROSA Modeling	Defining the details of Principles, Requirements, design Objectives, Standards & Agreements for the solution
AAM/PSA Generation	Generating the PSA based on the modeling the Product Service Delivery and the Information Service Delivery
APP/PID Generation	Generating the PID based on the PSA
ATS/Transition Support	Supporting the Transition during different phases

The Transition Support tools help architects in aligning the conceptual components with the logical components and the logical components with the physical components. Also, patterns within the Service delivery can be found.

ATS/Product Service Delivery	Support pattern recognition and design of the Product Service Delivery components Actor,LifeEvent, Business Service, Contracts, Business Processes, Knowledge Functions, etc.)
ATS/Information Service Delivery	Support (pattern recognition and) design of the Information Service Delivery components (Knowledge Functions, Application Functions, Technical Services, etc.)
ATS/Interaction Support	Supporting modeling EPICs, User Stories, Interaction Design and Presentation Services – Also see ISE
ATS/Data Support	Supporting Data Management and Information & Data Service Generation – Also see AOM and ISE
ATS/RuleSet Support	Supporting Business Rule Management – Also see ARM
ATS/Knowledge Function Support	Supporting Knowledge Function Management – Also see AFM
ATS/Process and Value Creation	Supporting Value Creation for Process Models
ATS/Competence Support	Supporting Competences for Actor/Role combinations with Process Activities

Tools to support Optimization of the Design Continuum

Enterprise Architects delivers methodologies, techniques and tools to accept (or reject) the delivered components with the following tools:

AAM/PEA Generation and checking	Generating the PEA based on the delivered components and checking the PEA against the PSA
AFR/Function Requirement	Checking the PROSA requirements for each Knowledge Function of the solution components
AOM/Conceptual Mapping	Checking the Business Objects and generalizing/specializing them against Enterprise Objects. Checking the Business to Data mapping and optimizing the mapping
ISE/Integrated Service Engineering	Generalization and Specilization of Service types

Tools to support Information Lifecycle Management

Enterprise Architects delivers methodologies, techniques and tools to accept (or reject) the delivered components with the following tools:

ASL/Lifecycle Support	Supporting Application Lifecycle Management for Architects by delivering information from the Product and Information Interaction Models, use of Service Types etc. to be able to initiate optimization requests for supply and demand chain cooperation and efficiency improvements
ARA/Application Rationalization	Suite with tools for Application Rationalization. For Enterprise Architecture the following tools are relevant:
ARA/Survey Development	Developing surveys for specific stakeholders within the Rationalization context
ARA/ Functional Mapping	Mapping applications against Knowledge Functions to distinguish duplications of applications that support business functionalities in which case they are candidates for rationalization
ARA/Value weighing	Weighing the technical and business value, including the risks and criticality for the business with contract managers, financial managers. super users, information managers and technology consultants
ARA/Analysis Workshop	Delivering information tools and presentations to collectively weigh each application/information system individually and within selected sets of applications from several viewpoints and map them (Performance vs. Significance and Information vs. Knowledge) based on general, financial, contractual, technical, responsibility, usage, and strategy issues as displayed in text, maps, and graphs. Mapping the different applications/information systems grouped per set for their technology vs. business value and chose the strategies for rationalization (abandon, source code conversion, modernization, migration, etc.).
ARA/Information Planning	Defining the necessity and priority of each strategy for information planning and issuing the results for Information Planning.
