Enterprise Architecture in practice at Dutch public administration
The case study was about how the Minister of Finance has applied the ArchiMate standard to construct an application portfolio for the Tax and Customs Administration area. The case is a practical application for modeling the whole landscape for the application portfolio also mapped with the business processes and with the infrastructure supporting them.
The principal drivers for the project development had been the need to deal with a high level of computerization, legacy and complex platforms, and high non-flexible costs, so the main drivers are to guarantee continuity, optimize costs (efficiency and effectiveness), and deal with change.
The main achievements form the portfolio analysis: applications and services not used that had been consuming resources, critical business applications having technical issues, interconnections between applications that need to be improved, applications that are costly to maintain and not delivering much value. These findings led the development of projects to improve this and rationalize and optimize the landscape.
