IM Challenges - Ownership and responsibilities Ownership Manager Responsibility Information Information Owner Process Owner Information Steward IT System Owner Process Manager IT System Manager Quality and availability Administration & Operation Development projects Efficiency

Is this really necessary to address? Drivers The information age has just begun We are faced with new requirements New schools of management Is it a fair assumption that we by doing nothing different will get fewer data quality issues? can accommodate increasing cross-process information usage? will have a stagnant level of complexity in our IT systems? can support requirements for changing business processes at an increasing speed? can accommodate requirements for a higher degree of transparency in business processes and IT systems?

Seven Seven thousand years years of of history history would would suggest the the only only known known strategy for for addressing complexity and and change change is is ARCHITECTURE. John Zachman

Managing Information as a strategic asset This is a business issue The business owns the information The business owns the processes The business depends on quality information The business defines what quality is but IT must take ownership Linking enterprise strategy, IT architecture and development efforts Combine technology expertise with deep business understanding Take responsibility for business development It all boils down to a new philosophy for IT Let s put put the the I I back in in IT! IT!

Agenda Briefly about Platon Information Management defined Platon s Information Management Methodology

Why a methodology? To avoid costly mistakes To ensure quality deliveries To ensure long-term efficiency To have a common point of reference Avoiding dependencies on individuals To extend capabilities within budget

How? What kind of methodology do we need? To specifically address Information Management A holistic view on Information Management: An enterprise aimed approach Ensuring the long term perspective Ensuring short term solutions Ensuring day-to-day operations Addressing any process where information is captured, structured and utilized All these aspects must be handled by one common framework That framework can be found in Platon s Information Management Methodology

How? Addressing all disciplines of Information Management Platon s Methodology covers all the Information Management Disciplines involving structured data: Information Management Business Intelligence Performance Management Customer Intelligence Resource Management Reporting and Analysis Data Warehousing Enterprise Information Modeling Data Integration Meta Data Management Business Integration Master Data Management Data Quality Management

How? Thinking architecture holistically Business Integration Integration Business Intelligence Performance Management Customer Intelligence Resource Management Data Warehouse Plan Control Meta Data Finance Marketing HR IT Procurement Production Logistics Sales Service Master Data Act ERP CRM... External Partners Operational Systems Integration * High-level conceptual architecture for structured information

How? A natural development Business Value Integrated Information Management Fragmented Business Intelligence Managed Holistic Holistic Proactive Reactive Unaware Maturity

How? Structures in 3 Required tasks are divided into Program Solution Projects Strategy, mission, program management, concepts and standards constituting a common framework Operations Realization of program strategy through concrete solution projects, guided by the common framework.

How? Linking business strategy with realization Business strategy Sets the long-term focus for the company Forms the basis for project priorities on a corporate scale Management requirements and initiatives Possibilities Information Management Program Sets the long-term strategy for managing Information as an asset Describes the scope for the projects Forms the basis for project priorities within the IM domain Ensures synergy across projects and business areas Objectives, priorities and scope Solution projects Delivers specific solutions Creates fast and visible results Data harmonization Business Intelligence Data integration...

How? The Program Addresses all cross-project enterprise level issues through Perspectives What technology components are required, and what should the infrastructure look like (OLAP, ETL, data-profiling, quality tools, integration tools, etc.)? What kind of information architecture is required, and how should it be build (Addressing Data Warehouse, Master Data, Integration and Meta Data)? What are the business-related goals of the Information Management initiative? What organizational units, roles, competences are required (Business Intelligence, Integrations, Program Board, etc.)? What procedures, rules, standards and methods should be in place in order to support the Information Management initiative (e.g. data governance, project management, naming standards, etc.)? How is the Program established, developed and sustained over time?

How? The Solution Projects Addresses general project management disciplines as well as subject-specific development disciplines: Plug-Ins Time

How? The Solution Projects General project management disciplines What must be in place before we continue the project (skills, planning, risk analysis etc.) What did we learn from the project? Should something be improved for the next time and do we need to follow up on project goals? Initiated by a charter How should the project controlled and managed day by day after the kick off?

How? The Solution Projects The Methodology supports 4 main areas of Information Management Solution Projects by means of Plug-ins: Business Intelligence Projects Master Data Management Projects Meta Data management Projects Business Process Integration Projects

How? - Operations The methodology supports running and maintaining the Information Management Solutions on a day-to-day basis. This is divided into: Governance Maintenance Support Production Make sure that data and entities are owned, quality is kept at a high level, and usage is allowed and encouraged according to plans. Do all the housekeeping on data and structures, and maintain the back-end environment as a whole. Execute dataextraction, transformation and load jobs. Help to find and correct errors and malfunctions, and help users with functionality and/or data questions.

How? The structure of the methodology The key building block is the Activity In Activity What How Who When Out What How Describes what the activity is all about in plain text Guidelines: Step-by-step directions on how to perform the activity Techniques: Supplementary cross-activity step-by-step directions Who Role descriptions including responsibility, skills and people assignments In/Out Deliverables Typically Office templates including aligned table of contents
