ArchiMate 3.0: A New Standard for Architecture

This keynote presentation from the July 2016 Open Group Austin Conference introduces the new version of the ArchiMate standard. ArchiMate 3.0 extends the language with various concepts that help enterprise architects tackle challenges in digital transformation and business change. This major new version introduces explicit support for capability-based planning, and improves linkage between business strategy and all architecture layers. ArchiMate 3.0 also enables modelers to describe the Internet of Things and the systems of the physical world, such as manufacturing and logistics. In addition, the new version supports more compact and intuitive visual models. This presentation includes examples that use these improvements and demonstrates how architects can benefit from them.

21. New Physical Elements
•Extended the Technology Layer with elements for
modeling the physical world
•Manufacturing, logistics and other physical environments
•Also for modeling integration of physical and IT worlds
•For example, computer-controlled machinery or the Internet
of Things

24. Grouping
•A grouping now has an aggregation (or composition)
relationship with its contents, making it much more useful
•You can also draw relationships to and from a grouping

26. Some ArchiMate 3.0 Opportunities
In a Total Health Solutions Company
•Capability-based planning
•Enterprise service-oriented architecture
•Application rationalization across multiple generations
of health insurance applications
•Support consistent development and optimal use of big
data solutions
•Incorporating mobile health technology into enterprise
models

28. Connected Health Case Study
•WLPH provides white-label personal health and wellness websites
•It integrates with two types of connected health devices (CHDs)
•One type is manufactured in Germany and available online
•Competitors integrate with a broad range of CHD brands and
types
•Large customers are dissatisfied with limited CHD support
•Sales staff report this as a key factor in lost deals
•Therefore, WLPH plans to use the ANYDEV digital health
platform, which accesses a broad range of CHD service providers

33. ArchiMate 3.0 Enhances
Visualization of Complex Models
•New strategy elements that link strategy to architecture
•Enhanced grouping for many-to-one relationships
•Joint realization for multifaceted dependencies
•Application, technology and implementation events for
external behavior
•Application and technology processes for complex processes
•Improved customization mechanisms ease support for
different categories of standard entities and relationships
•Enhanced focus on viewpoint mechanism encourages most
useful views of complex architectures
