Enterprise Architecture Principles
UCD Enterprise Architecture Principles
The complete set of UCD Enterprise Architecture Principles have been approved by the UMT Digital Campus Group to inform, guide and govern the design and deployment of applications and technologies across the University.
Alignment with these principles is a requirement for all initiatives, from departmental solutions deployed by individual schools and units, to centrally-managed university-wide platforms.
These principles are supported by a detailed set of Non-functional Requirements (which outline Performance and Availability, System Integration and Interoperability, IT Security and Data Controls, and Service Management & Support requirements) which should be incorporated into the design , procurement, evaluation, and implementation of applications.
These principles and the non-functional requirements:
- provide a standardised and consistent approach to deploying IT solutions
- will be used to guide decision-making, to evaluate and prioritise investments on applications centrally
- will be used inform design and development of applications
- should be included in a Request For Proposal (RFP) and procurement processes
The Enterprise Architecture Principles are interrelated and should be considered as a cohesive set.
