EAM and AI Layer Functional Capabilities
Based on the architecture analysis, the Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) layers provide the following functional capabilities:
EAM (Enterprise Architecture Management) Layers
The EAM architecture is organized into five primary layers, each serving distinct strategic and operational purposes:
| Layer | Primary Focus | Key Elements |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy Layer | Strategic direction and value creation | Strategic elements, value streams, business goals |
| Business Layer | Business operations and capabilities | Business capabilities, products, functions |
| Technology Layer | Technical infrastructure and services | Technology functions, application services, infrastructure |
| Physical Layer | Physical deployment and execution | Physical deployment, hardware, network infrastructure |
| Implementation and Migration Layer | Transition planning and execution | Transition planning, migration roadmaps, change management |
AI (Artificial Intelligence) Components
The AI layer provides integration capabilities that bridge AI functionality with the broader enterprise architecture:
- AI4EAM Application - An application component that serves as the integration point between AI capabilities and EAM, enabling AI-driven business functions and services
- AI4EAM Business Product - A business product representing AI offerings and services delivered to end users
Functional Capabilities Inventory
The architecture contains the following quantified functional elements:
- Capabilities (Geschäftsfähigkeit): 48 elements representing business capabilities
- Functions (Geschäftsfunktion): 224 elements representing business and application functions
- Services: 539 elements representing business, application, and technical services
Modeling Framework
The model uses standardized ArchiMate-based stereotypes for layer organization:
