IDENTITY - SysFEAT Enterprise Domains

Description	Map of the Concept Domains describing the enterprise architecture disciplines. Each domain represents the concepts required to operate a discipline. Concepts in one domain can make reference to concepts belonging to other domains, resulting in dependencies between domains. For instance, the Enterprise Glossary domain is being used by several domains such as Data Governance, Product & Customer Experience, or Business System ArcOps. The organization of SysFEAT concept domains is the result of principles established by the SysFEAT Outcome Centric Model. SysFEAT - EA Domains

DOMAINS

Domain	Description
Business Continuity	The Business Continuity domain defines the concepts use by functions of an enterprise in charge of the continuous delivery of its Products (goods and services) within acceptable time frames at predefined capacity during a disruption.
Business Operations	The Business Operations domain describes how business units operate to deliver products (goods and services) that fit their customers needs (value). This includes: 1) the management structure that organizes responsibility and accountability : People & Accountability. 2) the processes that describe the end to end delivery of goods and services: Organization & Processes. The Business Operations domain has dependencies with domains providing Business Systems used to support and automate operations: Software System ArcOps and Hardware System ArcOps.
Business System ArcOps	The Business System ArcOps domain describes a set of concepts used in practices that combines Business Systems' architecture (Arc), development (Dev) and Business Systems' operations (Ops). It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high system quality. Business System ArcOps is complementary with Agile development; several DevOps aspects came from the Agile methodology.
Conceptual Operating Model	A Conceptual Operating Model serves as a strategic framework for the enterprise, directing its functional division of labor to fulfill its missions and purposes. This model provides an ideal configuration of key Operating Domains and their value-added behaviors (Value Streams) to deliver enterprise Business Outcome Events. Unlike a reflection of the current state of operations, a Conceptual Operating Model envisions the ideal operation landscape. It is a blueprint for the optimal functioning of Business Operations. While it is sometimes referred to as a "business capability" model (see Gartner reference below), a Conceptual Operating Model is not to be confused with a Business Capability Map. Despite their shared aim of framing business operations, they are different tools and serve distinct purposes: a) A Business Capability Map is used to frame the services that business operations aimed to provide to internal or external customers. This aspect is often termed the "WHAT" in the architecture landscape. b) A Conceptual Operating Model is used to frame the strategic way the enterprise should "function" to fulfill these Business Capabilitys. This aspect is often termed the "HOW" of the architecture landscape. It's important to recognize that these 'HOW' and 'WHAT' aspects are contextual and should be viewed in conjunction with the Conceptualization Levels classifications. For example, the Conceptual Operating Model is seen as the "HOW" at the Conceptual level, but is considered as the "WHAT" at the Resource level.
Data Governance	The Data Governance domain provides instruments that facilitate the management of data availability, usability, integrity, and security within an enterprise. It covers three dimensions organized as sub-domains: 1) Privacy Assurance : mitigate risks on activities impacting privacy. 2) Data Provenance & Reliability Assurance : establish trust in the provenance of Information Assets. 3) Data Asset Assurance : establish trust in the quality of Information Assets.
Enterprise Glossary	The Enterprise Glossary domain comprises the Concepts, relationships and Terms used to build the glossary of an enterprise. Dictionary Blocks aim at providing semantic context to Dictionary Assets.
Enterprise Strategy & Roadmapping	The Enterprise Strategy & Roadmapping domain supports the process of analysing and optimising the delivery of Enterprise Capability(ies) in line with the Enterprise market analysis and strategic intent. Enterprise Strategy & Roadmapping achieves this by capturing the capability policy / concepts, decomposing this into a capability taxonomy supported by appropriate measures of effectiveness that can be used for capability audit and gap / overlap analysis.
Facility & Platform ArcOps	The Facility & Platform ArcOps domain describes a set of concepts used in practices that combines Facility & Platform architecture (Arc), development (Dev) and Facility & Platform operations (Ops). Together, they contribute to the management of facility & platform assets. It aims to shorten the facilities development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high system quality. DevOps is complementary with Agile development; several DevOps aspects came from the Agile methodology.
Operational Risk Assurance
Product & Customer Experience	Product & Customer Experience domain describes the overall impression Customers have of the company based on their interactions across multiple Touch Points (CX: customer experience) as well as the perception Customers have of the enterprise's Product based on their engagement with the Products (PX: product experience).
Regulatory Compliance	The Regulatory Compliance encompasses methodological concepts used in the process of ensuring that an enterprise complies with applicable laws, regulations, standards, and ethical practices relevant to its operations. This activity involves monitoring legal Regulatory Frameworks, implementing policies and procedures to meet those obligations, and conducting audits or assessments to verify adherence. Effective regulatory compliance helps mitigate legal risks, avoid penalties, and maintain trust with stakeholders while promoting ethical and responsible business conduct. It spans various areas, including data protection, financial reporting, environmental regulations, and industry-specific mandates.
