Architect - Setting a Baseline

Before you can create a solution, you need to fully understand the problem. In technical architecture, this is known as the "as-is" model. In other words, you work with the client to determine how the system currently works, then build a model (using an Architecture Design Language for your diagram) to create a document establishing a baseline from which you will create your solution.

With input from the client, create an "as-is" model of the Inisope company directory service using Archimate. Include a 1-2 page document to support and explain your model.

NOTE: Updating a company directory involves more than just changing a record. For example, if someone is fired they are taken out of the payroll database, removed from the employee directory and if their position isn't going away, Human Resources will have to post a job ad for a new employee. Give this exercise a lot of thought.
