Description
This is a mission within the agency in the ICT service. This assignment is necessary for the establishment of the Federal Public Service Migration.
The agency aims to professionalize the data exchange between various internal applications and external sources, among other things to facilitate reporting. The chosen solution includes the implementation of a centralized data layer.
Additionally, the agency participates in the eMigration program, and the challenges of meeting the expectations in terms of architecture and information communication are significant. eMigration is the program that sets up informatics and optimizations for the following entities (DVZ, CGVS, and RVV). When setting up the Federal Public Service Migration, it is desirable to arrive at a joint target architecture for the eMigration program and the various programs that exist within the agency.
To successfully execute these strategic and tactical missions for the agency, it is proposed to appoint an Enterprise/Business Architect, whose expertise is currently not present within the agency. Therefore, it is chosen to launch this function as a mission for a consultant on the market.
Objectives
The Enterprise Architect is responsible for compiling an inventory of applications developed with Microsoft technologies (SharePoint, AD, Power BI, PowerApps, Power Automate) and other applications with which data is exchanged (including Match-IT, CAAMI, Cumul, etc.). He/she must also describe all data flows within the agency, including those with external parties (Crossroads Social Security, Civil Registry, partners, etc.). A significant portion of this data is stored in a data warehouse.
Based on this inventory, he can propose a targeted solution to create a centralized data layer that facilitates data exchange between applications.
On one hand, the agency can more easily generate reports based on consolidated databases by cross-referencing available data.
On the other hand, the agency's participation in the eMigration program is optimized (in consultation with the architect of the eMigration program) by simplifying the data flows within the agency and centralizing the data to be exchanged.
This includes the following concrete tasks:
Business architect: To ensure the link between application and data layer (see further) on the tactical and strategic level with the client, a business architecture is established.
Application layer: Inventory and analysis of (AS IS and TO BE) application landscape.
Data layer: Mapping (AS IS and TO BE) relationships and connections between the aforementioned applications, data flows, and proposals for optimization via Centralized Data Layer (Taking into account current architectural components Azure Data Warehouse and PowerBI and in consultation with the software architect of Match-IT and the Head of Data and Analysis).
Analyzing current documentation and setting up an action plan on how to elevate this to the required level.
Analyzing synergies and gaps within the own architecture and mapping possible optimizations with the eMigration program (in consultation with the eMigration architect).
Duration
This mission will be carried out within a period of twelve months.
