Inhaltsangabe

Examine a new approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) that challenges conventional practices and supports a transformative shift to address the demands of a rapidly evolving technological landscape. This book offers alternatives to traditional EA methods that often divide the enterprise into isolated business, application, data, and technology architectures, often resulting in disjointed operations and missed opportunities for innovation.

By proposing an innovative, purpose-driven architectural style, this book emphasizes the need for a cohesive and adaptive framework that aligns all components of an enterprise with its strategic goals. Key concepts explored include the integration of social and technical elements in building large sociotechnical systems, the introduction of Unit Oriented Enterprise Architecture (UOEA) for modular and adaptable enterprise design, and the importance of Purpose Driven Design (PDD) in ensuring operational efficiency and strategic alignment. You’ll also gain insights into organizing software engineering in the cloud era, streamlining enterprise interactions, and embracing creative destruction to foster technological harmony.

Unit Oriented Enterprise Architecture is your essential resource for system architects, organizational leaders, IT professionals, and students seeking to revolutionize their approach to enterprise architecture and position their organizations for success in the digital age.

What You Will Learn 

• Critically assess and dismantle outdated EA concepts to create a more adaptive and cohesive architectural framework.
• Explore how UOEA can enhance agility and adaptability, allowing your organization to respond more effectively to change.
• Organize and manage software development within cloud infrastructures, ensuring clarity, scalability, and alignment with your architectural framework.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Andre Milchman, a hands-on enterprise and software architect, boasts a diverse professional background. His journey began in civil engineering, where he honed his skills as a construction engineer in the dynamic oil and gas industry. Like many of his peers in the 1990s, Andre transitioned into the burgeoning field of computer science, earning a degree that paved the way for his certification as a Sun Certified Enterprise Architect.  In Canada, Andre has made significant contributions as a software professional and technology researcher. His passion lies in systems thinking, sociotechnical systems architecture, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence. This passion is evident in his written works, which include Enterprise Architecture Reimagined: A Concise Guide to Constructing an Artificially Intelligent Enterprise, The Triadic Evolution: Reimagine Tomorrow’s Sociotechnical World, and AI Safety and Security: Architectural Context, Perspectives, and Insights. Andre’s collaborative spirit shines through in his co-authored works with Noah Fang, Prescriptive Analytics: A Short Introduction to Counterintuitive Intelligence, and The Transformable Enterprise: Enterprise Architecture in a New Key. Today, Andre resides in Toronto, Canada, where he continues to explore and innovate in his field.
