Designing Strategically Aligned Solutions

Through lecture and case study-driven workshops, you will learn how to bridge the gap between planning and implementation. You will relate the impact of different solution strategies on the Enterprise Business Architecture (EBA) and be able to use EBA designs in Requests for Proposals (RFPs). You will learn the relationship between EBA and functional, information, business rules, and security requirements. You will learn to map the relationship between business processes and software services in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). You will also learn the nature and use of EA repositories to support architectural reuse.

Students pursuing a university-recognized and/or accredited certificate in Canada or continuing education units in the US must attend at least 90% of class time, participate in class exercises and section-knowledge checks, and score at least 70% on an end-of-class, multiple-choice assessment.
