Architecture is not institutionally agreed or visible; projects usually started without consideration to architectural vision or impact

19. 19. If appropriate, please provide the job description (roles, responsibilities, accountability and authorities) of your Institution's Enterprise Architect, Chief Technology Officer or equivalent. Text Response General Summary: The Enterprise Information Architect is the primary departmental resource for IT architectural methodologies. This position will collaborate in the development of enterprise-wide designs as well as research, develop and recommend IT and architectural standards, policies, and practices for current and future campus initiatives. We have 2 Enterprise Architects that advise projects that are deemed architecturally-significant by the central IT architects advisory group. EA is eventually to have scope that is campus-wide, but at this time most projects are directly related to central IT, which only includes education and admin IT. (Not research or clinical) The EA is responsible for the EA practice, which includes in scope all architecturally significant IT on campus. Currently, the EA practice is still maturing, and the scope is limited to Central IT (ITS). The EA Practice is charged with alignment of projects across campus to reduce redundancy and increase innovation. More information can be found here: http://cio.umich.edu/strategic-planning/architecture.php. As an initial step, we are establishing an Enterprise Architecture Steering Group, as opposed to one EA position.
