IT architecture modeling system (IS MITA) for Rosatom
The client's request
Build an IT architecture modeling system for managing the large IT landscape of Rosatom and the organizations of the industry.
Starting tasks
An industry solution for IT architecture modeling that does not depend on imported software
A central store of information about IT architecture components across the industry landscape
A tool that checks compliance with industry requirements for the IT landscape
A way to find functional duplication across information systems
A way to follow IT architecture components from the business-process layer to the physical infrastructure layer
A way to change the IT architecture modeling notation without refactoring the source code
How the solution is built
The project automated the process “IT architecture and integration management” on the OSA ontology platform. The solution follows the multi-layer architecture description used by the client, stays aligned with internal standards, and makes architectural design more effective.
Main modules
IT architecture engineering — the metamodel of the notation used to model IT architectures
IT architecture modeling — modeling of individual IT architecture components
Workflows — approval of the target IT architecture and of integration links between information systems
Content store — unstructured content attached to IT architecture components: design documents, operating documents, and other files
Integration with corporate systems and services — directories, authentication, and the rest of the existing landscape
Results
The cost of IT architecture modeling fell by up to 10%
Finding information about the IT landscape became up to 40% faster
The cost of building IT architecture components fell by up to 10% through reuse of existing solutions
One reliable source of information about IT architecture components
The solution was certified by FSTEC of Russia and runs in environments with stricter information-security requirements
