Part 1: Don’t Fence Me In
The Rule of “Tactical Agility”
2006: Tactical Agility
• Get-er Done• “Flexible and Agile”• Passive Change Control• Heroism at the Interfaces• Architecture in Silos
A Few Good Successes
• Recent Network Redesign• Billiken Info Shield• Campus-wide DHCP• Banner ERP Upgrade• Beginnings of Identity
Management
Part 2: The Birth of EA
“Show me ROI for my investment.” - Ellen Watson,
SLU CIO, 2006
Other Drivers for EA at SLU
• Mitigate Risk Associated with Banner Upgrade and Related Projects
• SAS 112 / SOX IT control levels• Lack of Standards and Documentation• Inconsistent or Undocumented
Architectural Decisions• Lifecycle (Mis)Management• Lack of Coordination across Technical
Boundaries and organizational silos
Section 2: Getting Started at SLU
Our Approach
• Show Quick Results• Build Value through lasting
Processes• Establish Governance• Get “ITS’ House In Order” First• Then Branch Out
The Purpose of Enterprise Architecture
“EA provides a common basis for understanding and communicating how systems are structured to meet strategic objectives.”
