WHY OEAF ?

WHY OEAF ?

WHAT IS OEAF ?
Oracle Enterprise Architecture Framework (OEAF) OEAF is a hybrid EA framework, influenced by TOGAF, FEA and Gartner. Providing just enough structure, which can be created just in time to meet the business requirements of the organization help customers align their IT and business strategies OEAF may be used standalone or as a complement a customers selected EA methodology.

KEY VALUES
Driven by business strategy . Standardizes and simplifies the technical architecture. Comprises just enough modeling for enterprise solution architecture efforts. Reuses best practice business models and reference architectures from industry and commercial vendors.

KEY VALUES (CONT.)

Developed collaboratively with business owners, stakeholders, and skilled architects. Developed iteratively and matures evolutionarily for breadth and depth. Can be enforced. Technology agnostic but leverages Oracle expertise and IP.

VALUE & BENEFITS

The Oracle Enterprise Application Framework provides significant value to an organization, including:
Continuous alignment of business and IT. Improved Return on Investment (ROI) through better execution of the business strategy using IT, and more efficient reuse of IT resources. Leveraging technology to create new business strategies.

ORACLE ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The Strategic Roadmap should produce the following key artifacts: 1. A prioritized list of architecture recommendations based on the list from the Future State Architecture phase 2. A set of transition architectures that progress the current state to the desired Future State using those architecture recommendations 3. A project implementation plan implementing each transition 4. A cost analysis of each project implementation and a benefit analysis from each transition architecture

ORACLE ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The key purpose of the EA Governance Phase is to help customers develop a governance strategy that has one single mission: ensure a successful transition to the desired Future State Architecture. Measure the following dimensions:
People: defined key performance indicators (KPIs) Processes and Policies: The basic objectives of processes and policies should be alignment, performance measurement, and communication of new requirements and strategies. Financials: measure and ensure progress in terms of business

benefits, such as lowering data storage costs by 50%.

ORACLE ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The Business Case phase provides a cost-benefit analysis for the architecture and resulting IT projects in the roadmap. This phase can be initiated at the beginning of the OADP lifecycle since having a focus on the business case can drive decision in almost every phase of the process, such as Current State, Future State, and Strategic Roadmap analysis.
