looking to expand the business of the organization and increase the number of branches for the
organization. The previous assignment was also use for the discussions on the problems faced in
the current business procedures of the organization. A BPM diagram was also developed in the

An enterprise architect specializes in collaborating with key personnel to define business
objectives and creates the business infrastructure that supports those objectives. Job

responsibilities can include helping in the creation and execution of the roadmap of the
information technology architecture, working with domain architects to design roadmaps for all
domains and determining operational gaps and developing methods for to get better. Business
architects will need a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related discipline, and some
employers prefer a graduate degree. They can work for a variety of organizations, including
information technology services companies. The enterprise architecture can help the RFC
organization to rectify their business process model. Mapping out a business process allows a
manager to see where there is an inefficiency causing a bottleneck in the process and fix it to
achieve the desired results. Hence an Enterprise Architecture would be helpful in mapping out
the business procedures for the organization. Businesses of that size and scope rely on
nimbleness and adaptability to prosper. BPM is especially useful during times of rapid growth,
when it is necessary to bring employees on board quickly - mapping out existing business
processes will assist in ensuring that the new employees are able to replicate the reasons behind a
company's successful growth.
The BPM activity helps the Enterprise Architecture of the organization largely. By
mapping out how different employees carry out a given task, managers can see what the most
efficient way to carry out the task is, what the most effective (to the company) way is, and what
different variations are, given a scenario. This allows managers to create a process template that
can be customized across divisions and functions as necessary. Companies often have long-time
workers who are the only ones who know how something works or is done. By mapping out that
process, it becomes possible to keep it around even if that key employee isn't around. The report
has been used for the identification of the payment verification process for the organization. The
process model for the RFC enterprise would be able to identify the major activities involving the

activities required to be performed by the departments of the organization. The roles and
responsibilities of the departments and the departmental staffs can be mapped easily with the
business process model. The flow of process is also described in the different type of
departments of the organization. The decision making for the payment verification process is
very important as this would be modeling the enterprise architecture for the organization
depending on the outcome of the verification.
Business process modeling shows a sequence of activities that helps to simplify analysis
and make the improvement of some process easier. EA is the framework that is used for the
definition of a particular framework and used as a methodology for the developing the notations
for business process model. The EA blueprints are used for the portfolio for the description of
the processes of creating, analyzing and managing the BPM processes.
Value stream map is a visualization which is used for the customers to identify the steps
required for the transformation of a request made by the customer and the goods and the services
that the customer is interacting with suppliers for the organization. It is challenging to identify
the personnel who are involved with the creation of the map. In situation where the VSM has
been reached the visualization can be shared by the stakeholders for the identification of the
limitations and the deficiencies in the system. The value stream map is used for the holistic view
of the procedures for a system. The non-value adding steps are also identified in this processes
and they are eliminated from the business model of the organization. This would help them in
achieving better and faster outcomes for the organization in very cost effective and safe work
environment.
