Overview

Enterprise Architecture work involves developing high level frameworks that align an organizations IT applications infrastructure with business processes/data to improve the efficiency and productivity of business operations including:

Mapping the relationships between information systems components (i.e. end users business processes applications data IT platform hardware/software and networks)

Identifying key interactions and dependencies across separate systems and platforms

Evaluating the total cost of ownership and return on investment of various architecture alternatives.

The Principal Enterprise Architect will support initiatives across different functional areas such as Health Plans Clinical Systems Corporate Systems Technology & Operations.

Architect:

Analyze the current IT environment to detect critical deficiencies and recommend solutions for improvement.

Define reference models standards patterns best practices and position papers.

Define target state architecture blueprints roadmaps for business/technology application portfolios / platforms to enable business strategy and deliver targeted business outcomes.

Evaluation and selection of hardware and software product standards and the design of standard configurations.

Consult with application development projects to fit systems to architecture and identify when it is necessary to modify the technical architecture to accommodate project needs.

Consult with infrastructure development projects to fit the infrastructure to the architecture and identify when it is necessary to modify the technical architecture to accommodate infrastructure needs.
