Identity & Access To control access, simple provisioning and de-provisioning exists for user accounts, mailboxes, certificates or other multi-factor authentication methods, and machines; access control is role-based. Password policies are set within a directory service to enable single sign on across boundaries for most applications. Password resets through internal tools or manual processes. There is a centralized group/role based access policy for business resources, managed through internal tools or manual processes. Most applications and services share a common directory for authentication across boundaries. Point-to-point synchronization exists across different directories.

Multi-factor and certificate-based authentication are applied in some scenarios, such as remote access across boundaries (such as On Prem and Cloud). Self service password resets supported. A centralized, group/role based access policy is defined for business resources, applications, and information resources, managed through industry accepted processes. A scalable directory that is integrated and automatically synchronizes with all remaining directories across multiple geographies and isolated domains for all applications with connectivity to cloud when applicable.

Portals Users and groups can publish content directly to some portals; workflow for review and approval is built-in and automated. Users have widgets to customize their views of information; enterprise search is integrated with portals. Portals (enterprise, departmental, and personal) are provisioned by IT and are deployed on a single productivity infrastructure; governance policies are fully in place, including single sign-on supported by uniform directory services. Line-of-business applications and data are delivered through the portal for a few broad-use functions; data is typically read only.

Publishers can direct content to specific audience targets; portals deliver a customized, targeted, or aggregated view of information to individuals based on user identity, role, and device on which content is consumed. Users get targeted information based on their profiles, their roles in the organization, and mobile devices being used. Line-of-business applications are routinely surfaced through the portal and have the capability to write securely to back-end systems and to maintain data integrity; information from multiple applications can be combined in dashboards.

Information Access Most unstructured information from intranets, e-mail, and content management repositories is indexed; some structured content from databases, people, and expertise information is indexed. Search capability may be used as an application platform, but multiple search platforms are in use or they are separate from the general-purpose search solution.

Unstructured content from the Web, collaborative and content-managed data repositories, databases, and line-of-business applications is indexed; indexing processes incorporate browsing by people and ranking of expertise. Search relevance is managed by IT, but is not consolidated with the many indexes that exist for different search-enabled business applications; as a result, search relevance can be influenced by how people use and tag search results. A single platform provides an organization-wide search experience; structured data is incorporated and exposed in search-driven applications.

All corporate information assets from structured and unstructured data sources are indexed; a unified taxonomy exists for all key business data. Search relevance is influenced by a blend of indexing and the federation infrastructure; advanced content processing includes the ability to extract entities to add metadata, tags, and structure to unstructured information; as a result, organizations can display best-bets results and provide industry-specific dictionaries.

Interactive Experience & Navigation

A basic interactive search experience incorporates faceted and filtered information based on common or explicit metadata.

An advanced interactive search experience incorporates faceted information based on extracted metadata and other user experience elements to guide users; the search experience is unified across desktop systems, mobile devices, servers, and Internet searches.

Information Mgt Managed workspaces exist at the departmental level and are available from individual productivity applications. Metadata capture is enforced; however, the capture process is manual and labor-intensive.

Traditional and new media content types are managed consistently in a single repository that has integrated workflow. Metadata is centrally managed and deployed across the business; metadata capture is simplified through preemptive suggestions, or is automated based on location and context.

Metadata includes social tags; search indexing automates promotion of metadata to business applications and processes.

Process Efficiency Custom solutions developed by IT are used to deliver and manage key forms electronically; form data and scanned paper-based content are stored in a custom data repository. The organization uses basic workflow tools to process, review, and approve documents; simple workflow routing is part of the collaborative workspace infrastructure.

Users are empowered to create and deploy electronic forms by using visual design tools; data from forms (stored in an open format) and scanned paper-based content are managed as part of an electronic information management strategy; a framework provides leverage for integration of data from forms with line-of-business applications. The organization gains leverage from visual workflow models and declarative workflow tools to create workflow solutions that have limited integration with line-of-business applications; people can design and validate customized parallel or serial workflows visually as needed, run them manually or automatically, and monitor them in real time. Inbound and outbound communications are generated by scalable, server-based, automated processes; processes and line-of-business applications are integrated within a framework; templates and output are stored and managed at the enterprise level as part of an information management strategy that provisions core document and records management capabilities.

Business Intelligence IT engaged to create interactive reports to meet specific business needs. Reports are generated on a scheduled basis or on demand by IT and are then shared on reporting portals. Users have some ability to subscribe to reports. A standardized approach is in place for IT to provision data sources for access to users to search across structured and unstructured content. A basic interactive search experience is provided to users that incorporates filter information based on common or explicit metadata. IT provides access for users to sanctioned data sources as database connections, data feeds, or static data dumps, upon which users can easily perform ad-hoc queries and data analysis using Excel or other analysis tools. Users can share their analyses via a BI portal. Users may have access to more advanced self-service analytics tools to perform data mining or predictive analysis without dependence on IT or a Data Analyst.

Self-service reporting and analysis environment and tools established and maintained by IT. Access to data is decentralized but governed by IT with a well-defined process for stewardship and governance. Portals exist for dynamic reporting that supports rich report formats. Reports are generated with group or individual filter parameters and delivered via direct push or subscription and can vary by device. Users have the ability to share alerts and subscriptions with other users via limited collaboration and social networking. From the BI portal, users are able to connect to internal and external data sources and combine them in a single report or data set for further analysis. Users can do sophisticated analysis and build rich BI applications using Excel or other analysis tools. BI portal has reporting and analysis capabilities that include exception highlighting, guided analysis, and predictive analysis with rich logic. Dashboards are consistently used to provide operational and strategic views of the business from real time or periodically refreshed data. BI portal experience has rich visualizations, dashboards and scorecards with full data interactivity (slicing, filtering, etc.) consistent with self service reporting and analysis tools. Users have the ability to create unique personal and/or shared views of data that are actually combinations of multiple views (i.e. mashups). IT provisions and provides access to infrastructure, statistical analysis and data mining tools, and common sanctioned data sources to Data Analyst roles to analyze business data and build models to enable future decisions, predict trends, find correlations in business attributes, etc. Data Analysts publish the results of their analyses to business users via reports, spreadsheets, charts, visualizations, etc.

Symbiotic relationship and process between self-service and managed BI. IT has visibility into self-service activities that it uses to recommend and guide the enhancement of the managed BI environment and data structures that support self-service. Rich report generation and consumption experience is available from multiple devices with device-aware reports (mobile, web, desktop, etc.). Triggering of and parameters used for reports can be based on complex event processing and workflow. Users search for unstructured documents and structured reports based on metadata and content of reports. Using search on the BI portal allows users to find data, analyses, and reports, and users can launch tools for self service report generation and analysis from the search interface. Data Analysts use powerful data management workbench with integrated access to tools for data preparation, cleansing, multi-variate analysis, and a sophisticated set of data mining algorithms with extensibility and tuning options. Data Analysts can easily publish their findings and data sets for access by business users.

Data Warehouse Mgt EDW is refreshed on a near real-time basis so that information is readily available to mission-critical applications, analytics, and reporting systems. A high degree of concurrency exists, with many users running complex queries and interacting with complex analytics tools simultaneously with data loading. Management and maintenance of storage, hardware, and supporting software is manual and ad hoc. Consistency in data warehouse operation and maintenance across distributed data marts is improved through use of common tools, policies, and sharing of best practices, driven by the EDW team. SLAs emerge. Data changes can be planned through standard impact analysis, and effective collaboration occurs across data mart and EDW teams. An IT-managed BI environment is in place and applications at the department level integrate with departmental data marts. IT designs, implements, and manages data schemas that are optimized for localized self-service reporting and analysis tools.

Real-time information is available to mission-critical applications, analytics, and reporting systems. Mature governance processes with integrated business rules are consistently applied for centralized data and data loading. EDW, data marts, and supporting storage and infrastructure are centrally managed. EDW serves as the hub that integrates data marts and enables a single view of data and data sets. EDW uses star/snowflake schemas with shared, conformed dimensions to simplify reporting and improve performance. Hardware architecture is balanced to optimize performance. Master data management of the EDW and data marts is centrally governed, although implementation, operations, and maintenance is still distributed. Data warehouse and data mart resources are explicitly governed. Audit information is available for performance, history, and forensic information. An IT-managed BI environment and applications at the department level are aligned with the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) environment and applications. IT proactively builds, maintains, and manages key reports and analysis models that are used regularly across the business. IT designs, implements, and manages semantic models (such as OLAP) and data schemas optimized for managed and self-service reporting and analysis.

Transaction Processing

Data Management Key high-value data has associated formal data management policies and processes. Data governance may be recognized on a siloed basis, but not as a corporate discipline. Data and asset inventories and dependency relationships are manually documented periodically. Access policies for data and objects in databases are defined but not centralized, and do not reference data classifications. Administrative tasks are still performed using an over-privileged account.  Security management is performed on a server-by-server basis. Systems are in place for retention backup. Organizational/departmental policies exist for how long items are stored and what is stored.

Data governance with documented, standardized policies and processes are established and automated for maintaining data consistency and security, but not necessarily optimized. Data access controls are consistently implemented and applied based on data classification. Centrally administered cryptography is used and audited for protection of data-at-rest and data-in-transit. A self-service interface exists for DBAs and/or authorized users to manage security. An information asset inventory and relationship map is able to predict impacts of changes in some areas. Metadata and taxonomies are defined, implemented, and formally managed in one or more repositories with more reliance upon policy-based management to ensure proper configuration and adherence to policies. Business has begun to consolidate data, management plans, and policies for consistency across information stores.

Application Infrastructure Limited application component and service reuse strategies exist at the departmental or project level. Common application services and runtime application frameworks are selected jointly by development and operations teams as part of the application life-cycle management process. Operations is beginning to rationalize to the standard common services and consolidate runtime platforms.

Application messaging services used by development are aligned with standard application operating environments. Development and operations teams have the skills required to effectively and consistently make use of these technologies. Limited application component and service reuse strategies exist at the departmental or project level. Orchestration and workflow between applications is typically implemented via custom integrations. Applications are beginning to adopt web services or other standards implemented in operating environments to allow application components and common application services to interoperate as needed. Common application services and middleware component frameworks are selected jointly by development and operations teams as part of the application life-cycle management process. A range of application services and infrastructure is provided across operating environments with central governance. A central engineering practices group co-sponsored by development and operations has formed and is providing valuable guidance to application development teams. Application developers consistently build applications using these application frameworks, so hosting, application services requirements, and management are predictable. Operating systems provide support for multiple application frameworks.

A common application messaging services infrastructure is in place and well managed for larger mission-critical applications. Standard service-based application architectures are being rationalized and implemented with appropriate governance. Applications extend line-of-business (LOB) systems (at UX level and mid-tier), extending LOB business logic. Applications use web services to communicate across application boundaries. Processes and infrastructure for managing service endpoints, service discovery, and routing of application messages is in place. IT manages a service-based infrastructure of composite applications that connect and surface best-of-breed LOB systems. Components and services are explicitly tagged for reuse.

Component & Service Composition

Some use of reusable assets is supported by high-value services, components, and modules. Composition by IT departments requires advanced coding skills. Use of composition frameworks and tools happens on a project-by-project basis. SOA and portal components are not coordinated. The composite application portal has basic integration with existing business productivity desktop and enterprise applications (such as desktop applications and email). No discoverability of services is in place. Application models are highly descriptive of the application components and dependencies. Manual checks against the application map are in place to avoid impacts on services by component changes. Components and low-level services are documented manually, though the culture of management of those components has not been pervasive across the organization.

Developers have tools that allow them to automate the creation of components usable by end users out of low-level services, and to publish them to the central repository and obtain basic metrics of usage. Tooling for solution assembly is simplified. The organization overall realizes that services and UI needs to blend, start rationalizing which UI standard they will be driving to, and move to a point where every service has a “face” that is consumable for composing new applications. End users can share their created solutions back to the repository. Mechanisms exist to allow for ranking and rating of solutions and components. A managed central repository of all configuration items, assets, and systems provides dependency maps, reporting, and metrics for development and operations teams across the organization to manage integrations, performance, and scale.

Business productivity and collaboration applications, features, and infrastructure can be easily leveraged as components to integrate powerful and familiar capabilities into the context of a composite application interface.

Enterprise Integration Reusable integration components are developed for custom development on an ad hoc basis. Project management is centralized for application integrations.

Application integrations leverage standard application messaging protocols and infrastructure to connect various applications running on-premises and in the cloud, connecting mission-critical data and transactions across enterprise applications. Centralized data integration strategies and tools are used across the enterprise.

Development Platform Standard application frameworks, messaging, and other application services aligned with standard application operating environments are appropriately and consistently employed by application development teams. Tools for major development activities are standardized across the organization, though practices and versions are not. Application customization is performed through customization support offered by the application, on an isolated project basis with no standard approaches or consideration for future maintenance or integration.

The organization has selected and implemented a common set of frameworks for major application development and operating environment needs. Developer skill and use of standard frameworks is consistent. A central architecture and engineering practices group has formed with the participation of development and operations teams, and provides valuable guidance to development teams. A standard set of tools and common development approaches are used across multiple development teams in the organization. Developed applications extend line-of-business (LOB) systems (at UX level and mid-tier), extending LOB business logic. IT manages a service-based infrastructure of composite applications that connect and surface best-of-breed LOB systems.
