  1. Microsoft® Office Visio® Professional 2007 for ITPutting Visio into Practice:Enterprise Systems Architecture View Presenter: Date:

  2. Enterprise Systems Architecture Use Visio 2007 Professional to • Generate views of application architectures and flows to assist with: • Planning • Operations • Support • Maintenance • Display several graphical views of the relationships between IT resource components • Applications • Hardware • Other

  3. Visualize: Document / Design / Deploy / Manage Quickly implement new services and moves/add/changes Logical, Physical, Rack, Process, Asset diagrams and more Resolve problems quickly with accurate documentation Visualize security issues on network diagrams Visio Toolbox Web site for more tools and best practices Communicate: Share / Act / Collaborate / Educate Share, review, publish critical information throughout enterprise Enhanced SharePoint® collaboration; view Visio in Outlook email Explore: Analyze / Identify / Anticipate Manage, maintain, display, and clarify complex information ITIL, Data Graphics, Data Linking, AutoConnect, Color Themes Multiple data views and drill-downs with Pivot Diagrams Visio 2007 for IT Professionals • Visualize: Document / Design / Deploy / Manage • Quickly implement new services and moves/add/changes • Logical, Physical, Rack, Process, Asset diagrams and more • Resolve problems quickly with accurate documentation • Visualize security issues on network diagrams • Visio • Communicate: Share / Act / Collaborate / Educate • Share, review, publish critical information throughout enterprise • Enhanced SharePoint® collaboration; view Visio in Outlook email • Explore: Analyze / Identify / Anticipate • Manage, maintain, display, and clarify complex information • ITIL, Data Graphics, Data Linking, AutoConnect, Color Themes • Multiple data views and drill-downs with Pivot Diagrams New New New New New

  4. Keys to Successful Documentation • Managed process to fully document application flows • Link views through single data source • Use the right tools to support the documentation process • Diagramming and visualization • Application and data flows • Change request system • Collaboration system

  5. Without Visio 2007 Professional Issue: Application architecture flow is unclear • Difficult to get a clear view of • Software components for specific applications • Hardware that supports the software components • Interfaces and databases used by applications • Related flows are duplicated and out of synch • Diagrams drawn in applications not well suited to the need • Word • PowerPoint • Other drawing or illustration programs

  6. Word PowerPoint Excel Other Visio Unconnected Diagrams Without Data Records are typically in a variety of unconnected formats

  7. Without Visio 2007 Professional Problems • Changes to an application can affect others • Data are not updated as expected • Reports become unreliable • Business operations may be jeopardized • Upgrades driven by changes not identified • Hardware and software updates may be required • Application may not work properly • Performance may deteriorate • Business operations may be jeopardized

  8. With Visio 2007 Professional Solution: Application flows and dependencies clearly documented and managed • Data Graphics display data clearly • Application • Software versions • Server configurations • Connections between objects • Pivot diagrams produce visual reports • Related flows hyperlinked as “drill downs” • Visual information refreshed from linked data

  9. Connected Information View Application Configurations Pivot View: Applications by Departments Pivot View: Applications by Servers Link to central system database

  10. Consolidate Application Views Data Graphics show Application/Version and data bandwidth Hyperlink to other local and remote files

  11. With Visio 2007 Professional Benefits • All application and architecture views linked to central system database • Generate a variety of useful views with little effort • Views reflect consistent data • Identify software and hardware dependencies • Required updates enable applications to work properly • Performance is optimized • Minimize impact of changes on business operations • Enable smoother implementation of new and upgraded applications
