Enterprise Repositories

This section will look at the role of Enterprise Repositories. These are software databases and associated tools that hold information about the organisation.

Repositories traditionally only held information about the IT systems (and more usually known as Data Dictionaries) but have been extended in recent years to hold information about functions and business processes. Within SIM they are envisaged as having a corporate wide roll. They would encapsulate the Architecture and could contain information on any of the following:
 

• Marketing

  • Brands, campaigns, advertisements, promotions, costs, income, expenditure, industry news, customer/supplier/distributor education and help

• Products

  • Descriptions, features, components, product rules, pricing, costs, income, expenditure

• Processes

  • Functions, tasks, business rules, manuals, costs

• Organisation

  • Structure, staff, roles, skills, responsibilities, costs

• Technology

  • Systems, data, programs/components, reports, costs

The above information would be accessible in varying parts to:
 

• Customers

• Distributors

• Agents

• Management and Staff

• Suppliers

The above information would also be accessible to the various SIM supporting technologies:
 

• Component Based Development

• E-Commerce

• Object Technology (a supporting technology)

• Process Modelling

• Rule Based Systems
