1. Repository Strategy & Profile

How does your team currently store architecture models?

The Architecture Crisis

Enterprise architecture without proper tools and governance leads to costly chaos

Scattered Documentation

PowerPoint and Visio files scattered across shared drives. No version control, no traceability, constant duplication.

Teams waste 40% of time searching for latest models

No Single Source of Truth

Fragmented repositories create conflicting views. Without repository discipline, models diverge immediately.

Architecture drift leads to $2M+ redundant system purchases

Failed
Governance

No Architecture Review Board enforcement. Standards exist on paper but aren’t followed in practice

Compliance audits fail, regulatory fines escalate

Skills &
Standards Gap

Teams don’t understand TOGAF, ArchiMate or UML. Expensive training has no follow-up.

Projects delayed months waiting for scarce EA expertise

What is Enterprise Architecture?

Enterprise_Architecture is a strategic discipline that bridges IT and business through structured modeling, governance, and alignment frameworks. It provides the blueprint for organizational transformation—mapping business capabilities, information flows, application landscapes, and technology infrastructure into a cohesive, governed system.

Core Frameworks

TOGAF – The Open Group Architecture Framework with ADM (phases A-H) for iterative architecture development
Zachman Framework – Ontology for organizing architectural artifacts across perspectives and abstractions
FEAF – Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework for government standardization

Modeling Standards

ArchiMate 3.1 – Visual language for enterprise architecture modeling
UML 2.5 – Unified Modeling Language for software and system design
BPMN 2.0 – Business Process Model and Notation for process flows
SysML 1.5 – Systems Modeling Language for complex systems engineering

In the digital transformation era, EA enables cloud migration, microservices adoption, and legacy modernization by providing impact analysis, dependency mapping, and roadmap planning. Organizations with mature EA practices achieve 40-60% faster time-to-market and significantly reduced Technical_Debt.

Academic vs. Practical Perspective: While academia focuses on EA theory and ontologies, practitioners require executable frameworks that deliver business value. The gap between theoretical EA and operational reality is where Inteca’s methodology bridges—combining TOGAF_ADM rigor with pragmatic repository implementation.

Why EA Implementations Fails?

Understanding the 5 patterns that derail enterprise architecture initiatives

Tool-Only Approach

Buying Sparx Enterprise Architect licenses doesn’t equal having an EA practice. Organizations deploy the tool but lack methodology, Governance frameworks, and training programs.

No Repository Discipline

Models stored as “glorified diagrams” without model relationships, traceability, or repository architecture. The tool becomes a drawing program, not a modeling environment.

Business-IT Disconnect

Business analysts use BPMN 2.0, IT architects use UML 2.5—but models never connect. No integration patterns between business processes and system components.

Legacy Tool Migration Complexity

Stuck on outdated .EAP files instead of modern QEA format with SQL repositories. No migration strategy, teams fear data loss, resist upgrade.

Skills & Adoption Barriers

Organizations send architects to expensive 3-day TOGAF_certification courses with no follow-up coaching, mentoring, or practical application.

  • How to migrate legacy .EAP files to modern QEA format?
  • Who develops custom MDG development technologies for your standards?
  • How to optimize performance tuning for models with 50,000+ elements?

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common EA questions

TOGAF is a framework (process) for doing enterprise architecture, while ArchiMate 3.1 is a notation (language) for modeling EA. They complement each other:

  • TOGAF ADM tells you what to do—it defines phases A-H for architecture development
  • ArchiMate shows you how to document it—it provides visual language for business, application, and technology layers

Most mature EA practices use both: TOGAF for governance and process, ArchiMate for modeling.

Yes. We provide complete migration_services including:

  • Model transformation from source format to Sparx EA
  • Metadata mapping and relationship preservation
  • Validation and quality assurance
  • Training on new platform

Timeline: Average 4-8 weeks for 500+ models, depending on complexity and customization requirements. We maintain full traceability and provide rollback capabilities.

Depends on your maturity stage and scope:

  • Pilot (50 users, single department): 8-12 weeks
  • Enterprise rollout (200+ users, multiple departments): 6-9 months including training

Our implementation timeline includes: initial setup, repository design, governance framework, training programs, and adoption support.

Our clients report measurable benefits:

  • 40-60% reduction in impact analysis time
  • 30% fewer redundant system purchases ($2M+ savings typical)
  • Faster regulatory compliance due to audit_trails
  • 60% faster architect onboarding

Typical payback period: 12-18 months. We provide detailed ROI calculation during assessment phase.

Yes. We offer flexible deployment options:

  • Managed Pro_Cloud_Server hosting (AWS/Azure)—we handle all infrastructure
  • hybrid_deployment—cloud + on-premises combination for compliance
