Business Architecture is Collaborative: Business Architects strive to make business architecture the glue that binds various aspects of an enterprise strategy, design, modeling, and solutions ecosystem. As today’s business and IT landscapes in large firms are complex, the business architect collaborates with various other specialists to achieve the enterprise objectives. For example, the business architect may own the enterprise business capabilities model but has to work in conjunction with other professionals to help complete various components of the overall business architecture. Value Streams and Business Flows are an essential ingredient of overall business architecture, and the business architect collaborates with the process architects/process owners. A business information model or a common data model is an essential overlay (Capabilities to Data Mapping), and joint efforts with data architects and modelers are necessary. Enterprise Architects are responsible for the overall enterprise modeling, and big-picture thinking – encompassing business architecture, information architecture, application architecture, infrastructure architecture – and hence business architects work hand-in-glove. Solution architects and application architects are responsible for products, platforms, services, and applications.
