ArchiMate:
The ArchiMate Layer View is like a visual map in the world of architecture modeling. Imagine it as a way to see and understand the different layers that make up an organization's architecture. These layers include the Business Layer, which deals with how the business operates, the Application Layer, where software and data come into play, and the Technology Layer, which is all about the tech infrastructure.
Layerview
The Layer view in ArchiMate combines three essential layers within Terraform Company's TOGAF Architecture domains: the Business Layer, Application Layer, and Technology Layer.
Business Layer: In the Business Layer, Terraform Company uses ArchiMate to help improve how they handle customer complaints. It's like creating a clear roadmap for solving issues, from when a customer reports a problem to when it's fixed. This visual representation makes it easier to make changes and improvements. It also defines the key players in issue resolution, like customers, support teams, and quality assurance groups. You can see how the company handles things like issue classification, technical analysis, and resolution planning.
Application Layer: Now, in the Application Layer, think of it as a behind-the-scenes look at the tools that make issue resolution possible. You've got things like a knowledge base, a ticketing system, and customer support software. ArchiMate shows how all these tools work together smoothly to make sure information flows well.
Technology Layer: Finally, in the Technology Layer, it's all about the technology that supports issue resolution. This is like taking a deep dive into the hardware and software that run in the background. You've got servers, network gear, and cloud services, as well as databases to store issue-related information. ArchiMate also shows the tools used to update software, keep things secure, and monitor how the system is performing.
By using ArchiMate across these layers, Terraform Company gets a clear picture of how they handle issue resolution. It's like connecting the dots between business processes, the tools they use, and the technology behind it all. This helps them make things better, keep customers happy, and plan for the future.
