IG1167 ODA Functional Architecture R18.5.1

The Purpose of this document is to provide a set of structured, implementation-neutral and simplified views for the Information and Systems environment. The document is intended for architecture stakeholders (systems architects, solutions architects and enterprise architects), product managers and business analysts. It is intended to help enterprises looking to become digital to acquire and implement information and systems architectures that meet an industry agreed model.

The functional architecture view enforces the principles established in GB998 Open Digital Architecture (ODA) Concepts & Principles R18.0.1 which set out to outline concepts for alignment to the business (digital business), decoupling of functions, componentization of applications and a single data plane. It references Frameworx Business Process Framework (eTOM GB921) and Information Framework (SID GB922) in order to capture business concerns of today as well as identify new requirements needed to fulfill the changing dynamics of business and operations in a digital world.
