Public employment services (PES) offer tools through different channels to both employers and job seekers. The multiplicity of services and channels, paired with processes that are sometimes inadequately mapped, creates challenges when implementing digital systems. This document discusses how using enterprise architecture can provide a framework for defining and representing a high-level view of the organizations processes and its information technology (IT) systems, as well as their relationship with different parts of the organization and external entities. Having a strategic vision and a high-level design allows implementing systems in phases and modules to organize services to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. This document aims to support policy makers, managers and officials working with employment policies in understanding the benefits of implementing a comprehensive digital transformation in institutions within the framework of a strategic tool such as enterprise architecture.

Green ICT Practices fall in two different extremes of either only recommendations to reduce the resource usage such as electricity, or high level strategic management techniques such as Green Balanced Scorecard. The one extreme is very micro level operational approach and the other extreme is just paper strategies without a roadmap for total sustainability. This chapter proposes the enterprise architecture framework and mathematical model providing dynamic model for total sustainability. A brief description of currently popular Green ICT Metrics in practice is presented, together with a discussion of architectural frameworks providing three different architecture layers and a roadmap to achieve desirable “total sustainability indicator (TSI™) - a measurement framework based on mathematical models and game theory.

Nowadays, the management of big data has become an emerging question for companies. Managers in conglomerates, or corporations made up of many businesses, concern more about data management as data integration and sharing inside the corporate can bring about product innovation, risk control and operation efficiency. To solve the technical and managerial problems that hinder data sharing, this study drew reference from federal enterprise architecture framework implemented constructed by the United States. By exploring this framework, this study suggests a methodology for data sharing in conglomerates, and stresses on the business-driven principle and a top-down architecture design with supporting from high-level decision-making.


The existing Enterprise Architecture Frameworks support the silos created by local government departmental requirements. However, as the concept of collaborative government progresses, this architecture will need to change so that it becomes a platform shared across many different services. For example, various functions of government, such as immigration, social security, and health services, regularly collaborate with one another to provide better service, without having many citizen touch points. This requires corresponding enterprise architecture for each department, referred to as a Collaborative Enterprise Architecture Framework (CEAF). The CEAF will provide advantages in the use of advancements in communication, security, and cloud-computing technology. Nowadays, when technological upheaval is imminent, an EAF must be refined and tuned. A study of the key elements of a CEAF would reduce resource usage based on physical layers of servers and client devices (optimisation of the infrastructures or databases), especially power usage. Similarly, it will propose high-level strategies to attain green ICT. This chapter will explore how CEAF can help incorporate SOA, cloud computing, mobile technology, and enhanced security to facilitate collaboration. This will offer organisations a framework for publishing and subscribing to data, information, knowledge, and intelligence services.

In its commitment towards Sustainable Development Goals, India envisages comprehensive primary health services as a key pillar in achieving universal health coverage. Embedded in siloed vertical programmes, their lack of interoperability and standardisation limits sustainability and hence their benefits have not been realised yet. We propose an enterprise architecture framework that overcomes these challenges and outline a robust futuristic digital health infrastructure for delivery of efficient and effective comprehensive primary healthcare. Core principles of an enterprise platform architecture covering four platform levers to facilitate seamless service delivery, monitor programmatic performance and facilitate research in the context of primary healthcare are listed. A federated architecture supports the custom needs of states and health programmes through standardisation and decentralisation techniques. Interoperability design principles enable integration between disparate information technology systems to ensure continuum of care across referral pathways. A responsive data architecture meets high volume and quality requirements of data accessibility in compliance with regulatory requirements. Security and privacy by design underscore the importance of building trust through role-based access, strong user authentication mechanisms, robust data management practices and consent. The proposed framework will empower programme managers with a ready reference toolkit for designing, implementing and evaluating primary care platforms for large-scale deployment. In the context of health and wellness centres, building a responsive, resilient and reliable enterprise architecture would be a fundamental path towards strengthening health systems leveraging digital health interventions. An enterprise architecture for primary care is the foundational building block for an efficient national digital health ecosystem. As citizens take ownership of their health, futuristic digital infrastructure at the primary care level will determine the health-seeking behaviour and utilisation trajectory of the nation.

As the rate of change in both business models and business complexity increases, enterprise architecture can be positioned to supply decision support for executives. The authors propose a dynamic enterprise architecture framework that supports business executive needs for rapid response and contextualized numerical decision support. The classic approaches to business decision making are both over simplified and insufficient to account for the dynamic complexities of reality. Recent failures of historically sound businesses demonstrate that a more robust mathematical approach is required to establish and maintain the alignment between operational decisions and enterprise objectives. We begin with an enterprise architecture (EA) framework that is robust enough to capture the elements of the business within the structure of a meta model that describes how the elements will be stored and tested for completeness and coherence. We add to that the analytical tools needed to innovate and improve the business. Finally, dynamic causal and agent layers are added to account for the qualitative and evolutionary elements that are normally missing or over simplified in most decision systems. This results in a dynamic model of an enterprise that can be simulated and analyzed to answer key business questions and provide decision support. We present a case study and demonstrate how the models are used within the decision framework to support executive decision makers.

This chapter's author based his cross-functional research on an authentic and proprietary mixed research method that is supported by intelligent neural networks combined with a heuristics motor, named the applied mathematical model (AMM). The proposed AMM base functions like the human empiric decision-making process that can be compared to the behaviour-driven development. The AMM is supported by many real-life cases of business and architecture transformation projects in the domain of intelligent strategic development and operations (iSDevOps) that is supported by the alignment of various standards and development strategies that biases the standard market development and operations (DevOps) procedures, which are Sisyphean tasks.

<span>This research was conducted to develop the Indonesian Government Enterprise Architecture (IGEA) framework which is suitable for Indonesian government agencies. Due to their complexity and expensive implementation cost, existing EA frameworks such as TOGAF and Zachman have so far not been the choice for building GEA by some countries including Australia and New Zealand. Those countries have built their own GEA namely Australia’s AGA and New Zealand’s GEA-NZ, respectively. Learning from this experience, the authors did a research to build Indonesia’s GEA or IGEA. This paper explains the research process which starts from mapping or comparing TOGAF, AGA, and GEA-NZ frameworks to get the underlying foundation for building GEA, analyzing framework artifacts, to building IGEA by adding specific Indonesian regulations and policies such as RPJMN and Nawacita. This IGEA framework is expected to become a reference for developing EA not only at institutional level but also the most important thing at national or cross institutional level, in order to increase the effectiveness of government IT spending.</span>

<p><em>Although there were many comparison literatures of EA frameworks, these literature use qualitative criteria based on intuitive practitioner’s experience. The paper first defines 36 concrete features of EA frameworks using six categories and six interrogatives.</em> <em>Then</em><em> </em><em>we concretely compare</em><em> </em><em>typical</em><em> </em><em>EA</em><em> </em><em>frameworks based on the key features. The result shows the easiness and concreteness of the proposed EA comparison framework.</em><em></em></p>
