Information architecture vision


Vision on information architectures

We have a clear vision on information architectures as ABIO of course also. A very simple, but well workable vision information architectures is those pictures which clarify the complex reality of the provision of information of an organization to certain groups users and people concerned, to constituents and to suppliers.

Pictures which therefore something must produce for several (target) groups and as a result a variable transfer to pursue. A picture also that at several levels expression gives to the reality, globally and conceptually to the professional and detailed. Pictures which there therefore not always the same looks forward to and also not always concerning the same go. There you can do very easily complete with difficulty and mystic concerning, that does not see we however as supporting contribution. We want complexity. Architectures are ranges hearing pictures in which consistency which is brought, is more important than the content of the separate pictures.

This the "architecture of architectures" is, however, called or also "frames of architectures". It does not make ABIO from which name gives you exactly, true to it do is, thinking frame are get in which you can arrange those changing pictures and levels. Definition helps thereby, but is means and no end in itself. In all our courses come return those scheduling manners forward, also to see you the levels and the changing aims, varying with the communication partner whom one wants reach with architecture. We distinguish a triad architectures which are built by several fields and are filled in. It are the company process architecture, information architecture and technical architecture.

Of the largest problems in our field the fact is that each other has separated the professions which occupies himself surplus of and too a little cooperates. As a result, in the past people have operative in the IT (more or less by force of circumstance) order taken to their responsibility which does not belong there by nature. Cooperating on the basis of equivalence of several expert knowledge by these professional profession practicing ears becomes more easily if total images are used in with the occupational groups recognize themselves and that by every profession practicing ears can be understood.

Finally we find that unnecessarily complicated making nevertheless already complex matter is a disturbing of positive and progressive increase of the field. Profession-enjoyed must address each other on this!

 
 

Reflect concerning information architectures, provision of information and the company possibilities of an organization.


The provision of information has become vital the aims which an organization puts himself reach to be able. Combinations of variables in the surroundings and internally in the organization himself, make chances and threats more difficult in value, very complex and cumbersome easy to handle.

Architectures grant fast insight and overview in a number of matter as total images by their nature. Insight in the possibilities which the current composition being seen there. This happens from the company perspective, the information-skilled perspective and the IT perspective. Information-skilled architectures aims especially at giving overview on the contribution of the provision of information as entirety and the commitment of IT in the complex situation of dynamic organizations. This matter is of strategic importance and serves the existence of the organization.

Overview and consistency also need has become for a multiplicity to more practical reasons. We think thereby e.g. of the possibility It-trajects of putting down within an acceptable time or multidisciplinary cross-domain decision-making possible make. e.g. Routes are possible prioritize and/or in a correct manner to be able put out to tender concerning the interests of the several organization components gone.

A good devised information architecture supplies here the insight with which the added value of IT is shown, the communication between the people concerned from business and the IT can started support and kept and the necessary commitment comes about.

Architecture is for ABIO the concrete means the consistency and the quality of the IT guarantee service. This on the longer period and for the several organization links and people concerned. An optimum and flexible design of the provision of information is reached and the institution gains battle strength. The control of the exploitation strongly increases by working under architecture. Because of this there space arises to build competencies further and people operative in the IT experience a renewed freedom of own development.

Organization knows a lot of types architectures which are less anchored dependent on the type of management more or. It is frequently no longer transparent which components of architecture have been already filled in and which not or hardly. It is frequently unclear how it and an other one connect on each other and/or overlap knows. Organizations ask just for this reason for architectural knowledge and have a large importance at a correct representation of the IT support which they get or want will get.

 

 

ABIO helps organizations and people on gone in this route.
