Architecture design framework for planning new solutions

Practical everyday EAM established with architecture guidelines. SAMU was implemented with an emphasis on planning and tracking corporate initiatives that change the architecture. Hungarian Post, 2014.
Each new application proposed goes through a standard architecture validation procedure. This reduces risks and offers the possibility to look for overall architecture consolidation and rationalization opportunities in each project.

The Challenge

The Hungarian Post is a large public organization with an increasingly service-oriented approach. In order to support various initiatives, the need emerged for central enterprise architecture management that is practical enough to be executed on a daily basis. A toolset required to support these activities was needed.

The Solution

A complete architecture governance practice was designed around collaborative architecture processes. The appropriate architecture organization and roles were defined. We created an architecture repository and an initial data load was performed using various existing sources. We also built different architecture design templates in the system, which help the integrated planning of different initiatives across the company.
