Enabling Technologies of the SAFE Architecture

From MIKE2 Methodology

Enabling Technologies provide advanced capabilities to implement next-generation capabilities along the technology backplane of infrastructure and data. Enabling Technologies include a number of new technologies and are implemented through best practices in Information Management (Information Development).

Examples of Enabling Technologies include:

• Data Mastering Model
• Active and Integrated Metadata
• Common Messaging Model
• Services Orchestration
• Process Optimisation
• Search

Implementing a Services Oriented Architecture that is focused on Enterprise Information Integration as well as Enterprise Application Integration requires Enabling Technologies. Enabling Technologies supplement a Services Oriented Architecture by facilitating complex data mediation scenarios, providing active and shared metadata, modelling data in motion and enabling optimisation of business processes and the SOA environment.
