Why a metamodel?
• To ensure that there is a common understanding• Between different architecture disciplines• On different levels (enterprise and solution)• “Builders” need to understand what architects want
• A means to describe the complete landscape• A foundation to understand the landscape
15
Everyone has the right to make 1 major mistake (a year)
We tried to build our own metamodel … and failedgloriouslyToo complexImpossible to get disciplines alignedLanguage vs styleEndless discussionsImpossible to exchange experiences outside the
company Conclusion beginning 2013: stop the crap, introduce archimate

Archimate concepts are used to describe ABBsand SBBs
Archimate concepts forSBBs always refer to a certain solution
Refine relationbetween ABB andSBB
Part 2: Project Views vs Landscape Views
27
Project views visualize entities and relations relevant for a project
Entities and Relations existindependent from the
diagrams on which theyappear
Landscape views visualize the same entities and relations, but from a holistic perspective
Project Views
Example Application Landscape Views

2 repository setup for MEGA
31
A work repository where projects and programs create new architecture content
A published repository that contains all architecture
descriptions that are validated
Transfer between these repositories is part of the governance process
Architecture Validation Flow
32
Current status
• All IT architects are trained in ArchiMate• All new architectural content is modeled in
Archimate in Mega• Visio remains available for free format diagrams• By the 2nd half of this year, we will run a project
to give direction on the future IT landscape basedon the combined information of the architecturerepository and cmdb
• Busy building the application function diagram toexplain different scenario’s
