  An architecture framework UML Model provides a head start for organisation and  integration of applications with existing technology, from billing, ERP, HR and any other applications and systems.  Structured around application and technology platform domain models, it provides an architecture template and methodology to identify  business requirements, processes/workflow, user interaction, infrastructure, with application and technology metadata models.

How to use the framework?


The framework functions on two main levels:

  1. Central logical models for system design, mapping of physical interfaces and  physical data, and providing catalogue structure for business processes and technical services
  2. Knowledge management for project governance, enabling tracking of all phases of project lifecycles through design, implementation, deployment and maintenance.
Information Models

The Application and Technology Platform Domain Models are designed to display how new application functionality fits in with existing and planned integration technology. It also provides an overview  by linking  architecture and program documentation, accessible from a website or intranet portal.

Data models provide a consistent organization wide basis for building data stores, reporting, and interfaces.

The Technology Application Entities can be used as the basis for semantic integration.  By mapping messages and interfaces to this common model, application and system changes can be accommodated by re-mapping, rather than re-development.

The Technology Platform Entities can be used as the basis for knowledge management of  user profiles , workflows,  content delivery, event handling, and reporting.  Having a metadata model in place before development allows a planned approach to capturing user information, device information, fault handling events, and tracing workflows and system access.

Requirements, Process and Interaction Models provide architecture an interface to business owners.

Component and Deployment Models provide a schema for the collection of software, hosting and network infrastructure.

Project Models provide for timeframe and management of implementation, deployment and change.

What can Trac-Car offer your organisation?


Trac-Car can provide a completed Technology Integration Framework populated with your organisation's detailed information.

This includes a complete set of information containing the system design, structure, behaviour, resources, planning, service provider information, testing, maintenance, and any other governance mechanisms developed to suit requirements.

The framework starts and works directly with documented business requirements.

The knowledge base provided by the Technology Integration Framework can be integrated with existing document management systems and portals.
Trac-Car adapts the standard domain model to fit your organisation exactly.

Typically, Trac-Car consultants interface with your organisation's stakeholders to ascertain the best fit to meet your technology requirements.

This can take place as a scheduled series of workshops, developed  collaboratively to result in identification of key dependencies of technology,  enabling firm scheduling and pricing.

Stakeholders are able to ascertain that  their requirements are addressed in a way that fits with the organisation's standards, practices and cultural values.

We know you are busy. Workshops can be scheduled  in mutually beneficial timeframes.
