The Open Group - Service Integration Maturity Model (OSIMM)
- 26. Why Establish Reference Architecture
A well defined Reference Architecture forms a strong foundation for
adoption of the chosen Architecture paradigm – Micro-Services/API, SOA,
BPM, Cloud
Integration problems can be solved in several different ways. It is important
to solve them using established patterns, providing for better re-use,
scalability, performance and supportability
Digital Reference Architecture is to Integration as Design is to Application
Development
26
- 27. Important artifacts of Reference Architecture
Digital Reference Architecture guideline (for Analysts, PMs and EA)
A high level reference document that provides an overview of the ESB domain in aspects of Design, Build
and Run
Deployment Architecture guideline (for Integration Architects, Infrastructure
Architects)
A detailed document that establishes the Physical and Logical Architecture of various ESB software
components like processing, messaging, orchestration, gateways, mediation, governance etc. with High-
Availability, Scalability, Federation etc.
ESB Software Architecture guideline (for Development and Implementation team)
A detailed document that establishes the Integration Patterns, Design Patterns for each paradigm like API,
SOA, BPM, B2B, CAF, Micro-Services etc.
This document establishes guardrails for all software design of ESB and other participating applications
27
- 28. Important artifacts of Reference Architecture
Strategy and Implementation Roadmap
A strategic path to reach higher maturity
Requirements and Capabilities guideline
A requirements matrix that establishes the role, responsibility and capabilities of various
components of Digital and Integration platforms to formulate a solution architecture
API and SOA Governance Guide
Micro Services Architecture
A detailed guideline that formulates and establishes API and SOA Governance policies, Asset
Life Cycles, Approval points and groups, Policy Enforcement policies, Registry/Repository, API
classification and life-cycle management
Formulates Design-time, Change-time and Runtime governance policies, monitoring and
enforcement
