What is ARIS?

• ARIS

ARchitecture of Integrated

information Systems

Developed by

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. A.-W. Scheer

ARIS is a modeling tool AND a

framework

ARIS House is a framework, NOT a

methodology - totally methodology

independent

Can support other frameworks –

TOGAF, Zachman etc.

The ARIS House


Support of Multiple EA Standards

• ARIS House as a basis for different

framework approaches

DoDAF Framework / C4ISR

NAF (NATO Architecture Framework)

TEAF/FEAF Architecture Matrix

IAF (Integrated Architecture Framework)

TOGAF

Zachman Matrix

ArchiMate Framework


Customers in 70 countries worldwide, some examples

Worldwide communication of

process knowledge to all employees Worldwide process design

Analysis, optimization,

and administration

ARIS Repository

ARIS database = basis for continuous process optimization


● Method-based repository for multi-language information on systems

and technologies

● Consistency and re-usability of models and data

Process Information and Enterprise Architecture in one

Repository

Who is responsible?

Which system supports

the task?

Which task is executed?

Which system capabilities

are required?

Output for the task?

Summary ARIS IT Architect and Designer

• EA-specific method extensions (architecture matrix, process support maps, ARIS

TOGAF, etc.)

• Document and evaluate IT portfolios and IT infrastructure

• Describe technology and architecture standards, reference architectures and

solutions

• Maintain and evaluate lifecycle information for systems, technologies and

standards

• Plan, maintain and evaluate IT landscapes using process support maps and

different views (As-is, Plan, To-be)

• Integration of IT landscape planning information with project and requirements

management

• Create system fact sheets and system lists (users, supported processes,

technologies, standards, etc.)

• Evaluation and display of interfaces and data flows, analyze system redundancies
