Enterprise Architecture case study

We have been using Business Model Canvas and IAF as tools when building up a film production company for the last years. 

I have now decided to share public examples of architecture artifacts and architecture views as a case study of doing Enterprise Architecture.

Update: The case study will be in at least eight additional parts, from a Business Model Canvas to the different areas and layers in IAF.

We have not been using a formal EA process as TOGAF ADM or similar. Instead, we have being using the EA mindset and frameworks to improve different areas in the business, step by step.

The focus areas for the architecture work started with the film production process and supporting tools as filming is a collaborative effort.  How should we work and with what equipment, from a high-level down to details by re-using industry practice as much as possible.

Next step 1.5 years ago was to take care of GDPR and privacy issues to be “compliant” and this policy was published on our website before GDPR went into effect.

Business Model Canvas

Third, we worked with Business Model Canvas for our strategy in order to focus the business to be profitable in the long run.

In parallell, we worked with different types of contracts, rights and roles for employees and contractors.

The fifth focus area have been on the sales process and tools to support and follow up sales & orders with clients, e.g how to support the right side of the business model canvas.

This is a lot to cover from an architecture perspective, but the main task for all involved people is to produce films, not to do EA. Thus, very much as working with clients in EA assignments.
