Baldwin ABSTRACT—We propose a network based methodology for operationalizing enterprise architecture. Our methodology is based upon using a Design Structure Matrix DSM to capture the coupling between different components in a firm s architecture including business and technology related aspects. We apply our methodology to data gathered in a large pharmaceutical firm. We show that this methodology helps to identify layers in the firm s architecture associated with different technologies e.g. applications servers and databases.
We also show that it reveals the main flow of control within the architecture as denoted by the classification of components into Core Peripheral Shared and Control elements. We analyze the cost of change for a subset of software applications within this architecture. We find that the cost of change is associated Poland Mobile Number List with the degree to which applications are highly coupled. We show the best measure of coupling that predicts the cost of change is one that captures all the direct and indirect connections between components. We believe our work constitutes an important step in making the concept of enterprise architecture more operational improving a firm s ability to analyze its architecture understand its performance implications and adapt and improve it in the future.

A previous iteration of this product had been taste tested live with good results and Sergey Brin a cofounder of Google had provided Post with much of the funding to make the burgers. The next step was to form an independent company around this technology and take it to market.
