EA dashboard for groups of IT systems

Displays information for a group of IT systems, as contained in model of type Application system type diagram. The information is related to Enterprise Architecture Management topics, like application portfolio management, lifecycle management, or consolidation. You can use the functionality of the chart to focus on specific information.

Availability

This dashboard is shown on the Dashboards fact sheet of the following models in the United Motor Group database.

Charts

Portfolio of systems occurring in the selected models of type Application system type diagram, categorized by business value, technical fit, cost, and risk. Only systems for which the first three values are available are displayed.

Data source

ARIS Architect:

  • Report: EA - Systems with data

    This report creates a table listing all IT systems of the database. For each system, various types of information are provided, such as the Data center costs and Criticality attributes, or the number of interfaces.

    The Enterprise Architecture Management extension pack is required for ARIS Architect or ARIS Designer.

    The report provides various parameters allowing customizing without changing the report code.

    Output

    Generates the EA_SYSTEMS_WITH_DATA.XML file. The Systems with data document is stored within this subfolder: ARIS document storage/Dashboarding/<database name; default=United Motor Group>/EA.

    The report result is used as input for the EA - Organizational unit - Systems with data data feed. This data feed is related to the EA dashboard for organizational units dashboard.

  • Report: EA - Models and systems

    This report creates a table listing models of the model type Application system type diagram and all the IT systems contained in the models.

    The Enterprise Architecture Management extension pack is required for ARIS Architect or ARIS Designer.

    The report provides various parameters allowing customizing without changing the report code.

    Output

    Generates the EA_MODELS_AND_SYSTEMS.XML file. The Models and systems document is stored within this subfolder: ARIS document storage/Dashboarding/<database name; default=United Motor Group>/EA.

    The report result is used as input for the data feeds:

    • EA - ASTD - Systems with life cycle phase in twelve months

    • EA - ASTD - Systems with life cycle phase today

    • EA - ASTD - System redundancies

    • EA - ASTD - Systems with data

Calculation

Business value is a value between 1 and 5 and is calculated as the average of the values for criticality, number of users, and supported functions. Source for the criticality evaluation is the Criticality attribute. Source for the evaluation of number of users are the Number of external users and Number of internal users attributes. Source for the evaluation of supported functions is the number of the supports connections between the system in question and the Function objects. Scores between 1 and 5 are calculated for these numbers based on certain value ranges. If the results do not fit expectations, please adjust these ranges in the respective report.

Technical fit is a value between 1 and 5 and expresses the standardization of a system's components and technologies. For each component, the Standardization status attribute is evaluated and a numeric value between 1 and 5 is assigned based on the selection. An average is then calculated across all components.

Cost is determined using the Data center costs attribute.

Risk is calculated as the maximum risk value for all risks connected to with the system. The score for one risk is determined by adding the value of the Reduced occurrence frequency attribute to the value of the Reduced amount of damages attribute. Each of these qualitative assessment attributes can have five states, which are given numbers ranging from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). The score can therefore range from 2 to 10.

Seven pairs of systems occurring in the selected model of type Application system type diagram with the greatest overlap of capabilities.

Data source

ARIS Architect:

  • Report: EA - System redundancies

    This report creates a table listing all IT system pairs that have common capabilities. In each pair, System A is considered to be the potential replacement for System B. For each pair, the capability overlap is shown as a percentage.

    The report provides various parameters allowing customizing without changing the report code.

    Output

    Generates the EA_SYSTEM_REDUNDANCIES.XML file. The System redundancies in the use of capabilities document is stored in this subfolder: ARIS document storage/Dashboarding/<database name; default=United Motor Group>/EA.

    The report result is used as input for the EA - System - System redundancies data feed. This data feed is related, for example, to the EA dashboard for organizational units dashboard.
