ENTERPRISE INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DEFINITION (1/ 2)
Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA)is the part of the
enterprise architecture process that describes through a set ofrequirements, principles and models the current state, future state
and guidancenecessary to flexibly share and exchange informationassets to achieve effective enterprise change.Source: Gartner (http://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/enterprise-information-architecture
)
IA is the art and science of organizing information so that it is findable,manageable and useful. There is also a perspective from enterprise
architecture that views information architecture as an enterprise wide
activity that includes such aspects as data architecture, metadatamanagement and knowledge management(Stiglich, 2007).

Identification and Classification
Data identification and classification provides a framework for defining
and classifying organizational data based on its level of sensitivity,business value and criticality to the organization.
Benefit:
Promotes visibility across the enterprise
Common nomenclature reduces mis-interpretation
Creates an efficient framework for sharing data
Promotes harmony between business units
Promotes regulatory compliance
Use Case:
Establishing a taxonomy that categorises data into Master Data, MetaData, Transactional Data, Secure Data, Structured Data, Unstructured
Data, Planning Data, Setup & Design Data, Submission Data,
Analytics Data etc

Standardization
Data standardization means converting and storing data in a manner
that promotes commonality and consistency in selection,definition, structure, format, transformation and transfer across
systems.
Benefit:
Makes data reliable
Makes data identifiable
Makes data understandable
Use Case:
Using CDISC (SDTM) standards during data capture reduces errorsduring submission and makes it understandable to FDA
Following the DIA reference model for electronic Trial Master Files
establishes a common understanding of data contained within trial
files

Access & Storage
Data access and storage is the process of securing data from various
transactional systems, market vendors, business partners and internalentities into efficient, integrated data centric repositories well governed
with security
Benefit:
Improves application performance
Allows for devising security controls
Reduces time to implement data changes
Reduces down time for data migrationsAids the ETL process (Extract, Transform, Load)
Enables efficient data transport between systems
Use Case:
Creating a global data warehouse for storing data and granting access to
it based on business roles
Using an HDFS file system to store large datasets

Integration
Data Integration is the implementation of business processes that
leverage interface technologies to source data from disparate systemsand provide that data consumption by downstream systems.
Benefit:
Reduces project integration costsImproves project time to market
Enables business agility through reuse
Reduces duplicate information stores
Improved visualization of data across business functions and units
Prevents duplicate processes
Use Case:
Using a Service Oriented Architecture for sharing data between businessunits
A hub and spoke model that collects data from multiple sources and
makes it available to multiple target systems

Governance and Quality Control
Governance and quality control refer to the overall management of
data in order to serve the purpose of improving data quality,protecting sensitive data and enabling sharing of data across the
enterprise
Benefit:
Improves financial performance
Enables regulatory compliance
Protects data from unauthorized use
Improves efficiency of operations
Use Case:
Implementing Master Data Management and Meta DataManagementImplementing policies for data retention and archiving
