A suitable information systems that fit company's business needs are required so the company can adapt themselves in this globalization era. Information systems had an important role in order to support the company’s business process and its performance. An example of applied information systems that have been widely used by companies is enterprise architecture. Currently, enterprise architecture has been used by many enterprises to be able connect between the planning and the technology implementation to the current business in the company. Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) is a method in enterprise architecture which can provides alignment between business and information technology by defining company’s needs. Main components of EAP are data architecture, applications, and technology. The framework that will be used to develop EAP on this research is TOGAF ADM with phases starting from preliminary phase, requirements management, architecture vision, business architecture, information systems architectures, technology architecture, opportunities & solutions, and migration planning. A result on this research will be a blueprint of enterprise architecture model that an event organizer can use in supporting its business. The blueprint contains the current used information systems and the ideal information systems planned by the authors

    Get PDF
    Smart village is one that is innovative in its use of information technology to improve quality of life, efficiency, and competitiveness in economic, social, and environmental aspects. Sumur Bandung sub-district can implement the smart village concept to intelligently solve their problems. Sumur Bandung sub-district is one of 30 sub-districts in the city of Bandung. Sumur Bandung sub-district has a Government Section which functions to carry out government duties in the sub-district. One of his duties is to be responsible for population administration services. For population administration services in Sumur Bandung sub-district still use a manual system that requires people to come to the sub-district to carry out population administration. As a result, it is necessary to implement a smart village in governance dimension that includes redesigning business processes for population administration services to use the latest information systems and technology. The use of this technology also needs to be aligned with the plan and strategy of Sumur Bandung sub-district. Enterprise architecture is a tool used to synchronize business needs with technology needs. Its design requires the TOGAF ADM 9.2 framework, which is used as a guide while creating enterprise architecture. The research method used is literature study. The results of this study are artifacts as general architecture. These results are expected to be useful and beneficial for Sumur Bandung sub-district, especially in the population administration service section, or become a reference for other researchers as well as insight for readers

    Hospital is one of the most complex organization with highly intensive interaction between stakeholders (patients, nurses, doctors, staff, etc.). In the operation of a hospital, the use of Information technology has been proven to improve effectiveness and efficiency. However, in the majority of cases, the processes to achieve the Strategic Objectives through implementation of Information Technology are full of challenges. Based on the case study in Dharmais Cancer Hospital, there are many symptoms that are identified by this study and lead to 4 issues, namely: lack of ownership from Business users, lack of alignment between business strategy and IT strategy, lack of awareness to use IT as a tool for competitive advantage, and low quality of IT operation performances. In order to solve the issues and support the achievement of Strategic Business Objective through IT, an Enterprise Architecture approach can be used to develop baseline architecture, identify the target architecture, finding the gap, and use the gap as recommendation to solve those issues. The methodology chosen is TOGAF ADM, based on its focus on processes and its flexibility to combine artifacts and approaches that are most suitable for the case. This study develops 7 recommendations to Strengthen Business area of organization, 5 recommendations to Align IT plan with Business Strategy, 16 recommendations to Implement several IT solutions as Competitive Advantage for organization, and 8 recommendations to provide higher performances by enabling Service Management approach for IT Operation. This study also shows how TOGAF ADM can improve the awareness of the business users to the business itself. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01278 Full Text: PD

    A Planning Approach to Migrating Domain-specific Legacy Systems into Service Oriented Architecture

    Get PDF
    The planning work prior to implementing an SOA migration project is very important for its success. Up to now, most of this kind of work has been manual work. An SOA migration planning approach based on intelligent information processing methods is addressed to semi-automate the manual work. This thesis will investigate the principle research question: “How can we obtain SOA migration planning schemas (semi-) automatically instead of by traditional manual work in order to determine if legacy software systems should be migrated to SOA computation environment?”. The controlled experiment research method has been adopted for directing research throughout the whole thesis. Data mining methods are used to analyse SOA migration source and migration targets. The mined information will be the supplementation of traditional analysis results. Text similarity measurement methods are used to measure the matching relationship between migration sources and migration targets. It implements the quantitative analysis of matching relationships instead of common qualitative analysis. Concretely, an association rule and sequence pattern mining algorithms are proposed to analyse legacy assets and domain logics for establishing a Service model and a Component model. These two algorithms can mine all motifs with any min-support number without assuming any ordering. It is better than the existing algorithms for establishing Service models and Component models in SOA migration situations. Two matching strategies based on keyword level and superficial semantic levels are described, which can calculate the degree of similarity between legacy components and domain services effectively. Two decision-making methods based on similarity matrix and hybrid information are investigated, which are for creating SOA migration planning schemas. Finally a simple evaluation method is depicted. Two case studies on migrating e-learning legacy systems to SOA have been explored. The results show the proposed approach is encouraging and applicable. Therefore, the SOA migration planning schemas can be created semi-automatically instead of by traditional manual work by using data mining and text similarity measurement methods

    Semantic discovery and reuse of business process patterns

    Get PDF
    Patterns currently play an important role in modern information systems (IS) development and their use has mainly been restricted to the design and implementation phases of the development lifecycle. Given the increasing significance of business modelling in IS development, patterns have the potential of providing a viable solution for promoting reusability of recurrent generalized models in the very early stages of development. As a statement of research-in-progress this paper focuses on business process patterns and proposes an initial methodological framework for the discovery and reuse of business process patterns within the IS development lifecycle. The framework borrows ideas from the domain engineering literature and proposes the use of semantics to drive both the discovery of patterns as well as their reuse

    Moving enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to the cloud: the challenge of infrastructural embeddedness

    Get PDF
    Cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions allow organizations to support and coordinate key business processes by leveraging virtualization. Nevertheless, moving ERPs to the cloud is not straightforward, and organizational cloud ERP initiatives raise multiple concerns. We conducted an in-depth systematic review of relevant research literature and identified six key concerns related to cloud ERP implementation: a) the introduction of new ERP work arrangements, launch b) the migration of legacy data, c) the assurance of compliance with extant rules and regulations for security, d) the continuous alignment between ERP functionality and business processes, e) the ongoing integration between ERPs and the rest of the organization’s application portfolio, and f) the establishment of adequate reliability levels. The identified concerns are associated with both transition management and operations supported by cloud ERPs. All the identified concerns are also related to the need to achieve infrastructural embeddedness. This need sets ERPs apart from other types of cloud-based applications, such as office automation solutions that do not have as many dependencies and exchanges with other systems and repositories within an organization’s information infrastructure. We argue that the challenge of embeddedness has different implications for organizations of different sizes, and we call for further empirical research
