A MiWin-IT mission for: Service Public Fédéral Sécurité Sociale
- Consultant Enterprise Architecture
2011 - maintenant
The “SPF Sécurité Sociale” has made rationalization one of its major concerns and has decided to start an Enterprise Architecture (EA) initiative to assist in this process.
The first part of the mission was dedicated to the definition and description of an EA approach that is in accordance with the internal processes. The approach starts with the description of the context elements, the business goals and the global principles in use at the SPF.
All these elements, together with their relations, are to be found in the metamodel that has been defined for the SPF, as well as the major artifacts. It includes all the Architectures (Business, Information, Information Systems, Infrastructure) as well as the context elements influencing these ones.
Follows the definition of a structural process based on the PDCA model (Plan, Do, Check, Act), to promote an iterative approach; it covers all the activities needed to provide the SPF with as-is and to-be perspectives along with the relations with the other internal processes.
Moreover an operational process has been defined with the objectives of analyzing the impacts of internal demands on the Architectures, and also to serve as a support to the project teams and stakeholders having Architecture concerns.
The second part of the mission concentrated on an analysis of EA tools:
- Requirements gathering of EA stakeholders
- Setup of the characteristics the EA tool should answer
- Search and selection of potential candidates
- Analysis of selected candidates

A MiWin-IT mission for: Service Public de Wallonie
- Consultant Enterprise Architecture
2010 - 2011
The IT department of the “Service Public de Wallonie” needed to define, describe and document its internal processes as well as those related to public markets. For this mission I defined the internal and market related business processes using the following approach: identify, analyse, validate and publish. This provided the IT department with the processes inventory along with the documented BPM’s, filled up with gap and overlap analysis.
Those processes using ITIL as sub-process has lead to definition of new services in the Service Desk tool (e.g. Change mgt, Incident mgt).
The market related processes were used as procedures in the Service Level Agreements.
All business processes have been modeled and documented using the tool Enterprise Architect (Sparx Systems) and following the BPMN 1.1 standard.
