Implementing the Operating Model by an Enterprise Architecture

In the modern enterprise, enterprises increasingly employ Enterprise Architecture (EA) to create and implement operational models. An operating model describes how organizations organize and execute their main tasks. Organizations can use EA principles to construct flexible, efficient, and strategically designed operating models. This brief overview looks at how EA may help organizations plan, connect, and optimize their business approaches to achieve sustainability. Once we decide how we want to work as an organization, we must then capture it as a big-picture view with big-picture thinking and broad engagement (across business and IT). Additionally, we must treat this view as a long-term reference as we grow toward our core business goals.

Enterprise Architecture Models.

Unification Model

Unification model, in which the organization pursues the need for reliability, predictability, and low cost by standardizing business processes and sharing data across business units. Describes a centralized organizational design.

Diversification Model 

Diversification model, in which business units pursue different markets with different products and services thereby benefiting from local autonomy in deciding how to address customer demands. Describes a decentralized organizational design.

Coordination Model 

 Coordination model, in which the organization focuses on integration by creating a single face to its customers or a transparent supply chain.

Replication Model 

Replication model, in which the focus is process standardization. Units perform tasks in the same way using the same systems to create global efficiencies and brand recognition.

In conclusion, knowing how to establish operating models in Enterprise Architecture is vital since it ensures that organizations' business strategies and operational procedures are correctly aligned. Organizations can use Enterprise Architecture principles to create operational frameworks that are efficient, flexible, and aligned with their strategic goals. This alignment improves organizational agility, optimizes procedures, optimizes the use of resources, and supports long-term business growth.
