*!! Immediate Interview !!*
*Project Title: **Application Portfolio Business Architecture* *Category: **Architecture * *Location : Minneapolis, MN.* *Duration : 5+ months* *Business Need * The Office of MN.IT Services, Client is in need of aligning their business architecture across four (4) bureaus by analyzing the client Application Portfolio to identify main business function(s) that are in common and supported by more than one application. The outcome of this analysis will support Client’s goal to increase the use of agency-wide applications and help prioritize investments for replacing high risk applications. It will also identify areas for future collaboration and potential cost savings. The Application Portfolio is an asset repository of potential reusable, scalable and not fit for purpose technologies. In some cases, the application portfolio is catalogued based on a criterion of technology “abilities” and does not include the business perspective or desired functionality. Over time, client application portfolio has grown in a divergent fashion as each bureau’s divisions and sections attempt to improve their performance and address their challenges through one-time, often uncoordinated investments. The result is redundant applications or disparate usage of the same application. client would like to leverage the Application Portfolio to help them design a Business Blueprint and Business Architecture. *Project Deliverables * 1. *Application portfolio rationalization document*: A map of the existing MDH 280 applications (and for larger applications, their lower level functions) and their capabilities that will assist in identifying opportunities for process alignment and leveraging common tools across the agency in order to reduce IT complexity and cost. The map will be used as input to the business blueprint and business architecture assessment. 2. *Business Blueprinting document*: Client would like a Blueprint document that identifies and measures business value of current assets in the application portfolio. This would involve establishing criteria to determine business value in coordination with MDH IT governance members and leadership. For example, business value may include, but is not limited to: business capability(s) supported, number of business functions, number of locations, number of core processes and drivers of quality to business value and maintenance costs. 3. *Business Architecture Assessment document*: Client would like an analysis of the agency’s current application portfolio to identify gaps in capability, over extension, multiple applications sharing the same or similar business capability or end of life in aggregate. This would produce a business architecture profile that will highlight areas where the agency is currently not supported by technology or quality of service needed in addition to the business functions that are best candidates for common, agency-wide tools. The application portfolio map and business blueprint document will be used as input to the business architecture assessment. *Project Milestones and Schedule * • Anticipated Project Start Date: 11/30/2016 • Anticipated End Date: 4/14/2017 *Responsibilities Expected of the Selected Vendor (Project Deliverables) * • The vendor will create a detailed work plan including prioritizing applications by business importance, project monitoring, tracking tasks, deliverables, and budget. • The vendor will map existing applications in the MDH application portfolio (and for larger applications, their lower level functions) and their capabilities. • The vendor will assist in identifying opportunities for process alignment and leveraging common tools across the agency in order to reduce IT complexity and cost. • The vendor will create a blueprint that identifies and measures business value of current assets in the application portfolio. This would involve establishing criteria to determine business value of the application assets. Including, but not limited to: business capability(s) supported, number of business functions, number of locations, number of core processes and drivers of quality to business value and maintenance costs. • The vendor will analyze the agency’s current application portfolio to identify gaps in capability, over extension, multiple applications sharing the same or similar business capability or end of life in aggregate. Through this analysis the vendor will produce a business architecture profile that will highlight areas where the agency is currently not supported by technology or quality of service needed in addition to the business functions that are best candidates for common, agency-wide tools. • The vendor will identify and meet with business heads or delegates, application owners, business owners, application portfolio managers, and subject matter experts, as needed, to gather information to create the project deliverables. • The vendor will identify and use any existing documentation, application reviews, or applicable information and data that will assist in creating the project deliverables. *Mandatory Qualifications * • *4 years doing Business Architecture as a lead, involving large and complex projects. A large and complex project (>$500,000), has many parts where those parts interact with each other in multiple ways. * • *3 years managing the triple constraint for projects (cost, time, and scope). * • *3 years’ experience doing Business Architecture for Health related projects. 1 year experience doing Business Architecture for Government Health department applications. * *Desired Skills * • Experience with business architecture frameworks such as: o The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) o Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) *Thanks and Regards,* *Ishant* *Sr. IT Recruiter* *Technocraft Solutions LLC |* *Partner with XDimension Technology* *Email**: **ish...@technocraftsol.com* <ish...@technocraftsol.com> *Contact**: **(972)2324173 Ext 113* *Yahoo ID / Gmail ID**: **ishanttechnocraft* *LinkedIn:* *https://www.linkedin.com/in/ishant-dayal-574317100 <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ishant-dayal-574317100>* *www.technocraftsol.com* <http://www.technocraftsol.com/>* |* *www.xdimensiontech.com* <http://www.xdimensiontech.com/> *Note: Technocraft Solutions LLC works with Direct Client’s and Preferred Vendors Nationwide. * *Your confirmation would means that you understand the level of Technocraft Solutions LLC association for the mentioned project and will not approach Technocraft Solutions LLC Client directly* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle-Projects" group.
