A TOGAF® ADM-based architecture &
modeling repository
The solution consists of a preconfigured iServer repository
designed to give you a very quick start with TOGAF® 9. It is
built around the ADM, contains a complete set of
TOGAF® deliverables and artifact types (MS Office document
templates & Visio model templates) aligned to the appropriate
phases of the ADM, views and matrix reports, meta-data to monitor
data against a time horizon, building block status information and
other key TOGAF® measures. This is supported by full
versioning ensuring integrity of enterprise architecture
content.
Implemented TOGAF® 9 content meta-model
iServer supports the TOGAF® 9 core content meta-model and
extensions. Orbus Software have pre-defined and configured the
repository based on the meta-model from the current TOGAF® 9
documentation, meaning that you don't need to spend months
configuring it yourself. The TOGAF® meta-model includes the
building block classifications (such as Actor, Logical Application
Component), meta-definitions and relationship types that will be
used in the Repository and can be customized whenever
necessary.
TOGAF® artifact and deliverable templates
(TOGAF® views and viewpoints)
Templates for TOGAF® deliverables and artifacts (viewpoints
and views such as documents, models, catalogs, matrices) are
provided for each ADM phase, ready to use in the most appropriate
Microsoft Office applications. Entities in the meta-model have been
defined and pre-assigned to different templates (TOGAF® 9
viewpoints) so there is no guess work involved when deciding which
meta-model entities should be modeled or communicated in which
diagram.
Attractive TOGAF® 9 Visio notations
A pre-defined notation set (Visio stencil) matching the modeling
artifacts defined by TOGAF® is included part of our solution.
Unlike other notations provided by tool vendors, ours are easily
interchangeable and extensible - If you are already using Visio
stencils to represent your artifacts, there is no need to change. A
small sample of the TOGAF® notation is shown below:
Orbus also provides an easy to use Visio Stencil and usage guide
for the Open Group's ArchiMate Notation. Once The Open Group have
fully aligned ArchiMate and TOGAF® 9, a new release of the
TOGAF® solution will be issued containing a complete set of
deliverable and model templates based on the ArchiMate notation
set.
The ArchiMate stencil can be found in iServer Downloads
TOGAF® "How to": BPMN processes and other reference
guides
BPMN process models explain the steps required to complete each
phase in TOGAF®, and the inputs and outputs required in
diagrammatic form. "How to" guides are included for using the
TOGAF® solution with iServer, including how to generating
catalogs, generating customized views and creating matrices.
Gap analysis report
Use iServer's current to future states comparison report to
satisfy the TOGAF® 9 requirement for 'Gap Analysis' artifacts.
This report helps identifies omissions in order to highlight items
such as building blocks and or objects to be eliminated and or
built / acquired as part of enterprise architecture work
packages.
