ARTIFACTS are inputs to, and outputs of, a design or development process that have lasting value.
MODELS are simplifications of reality that allow us to comprehend complex systems. A set of artifacts that can be used to represent business and technology.
TRACEABILITY is the interconnectivity among artifacts that show how aspects of one model relate to aspects of another.
ARCHITECTURE is the result of significant decisions about organisation, structural elements, their interfaces and behaviour, and style.
COMPONENT is a self-contained module that does not rely on other components to do its job.

WEB SERVICES: Industry standardised way to call and access components across the web, without concern with the underlying technology.

3D Blueprinting
Is a process for business transformation...
...which represents the next generation modeling for business and systems that integrates business vision and IT execution...
...it is the process by which a company can become a 3D Visible Enterprise, able to see the results of deciusions before making them.

3D Blueprinting is our approach to solving a client's business problem. It:
- Leverages knowledge of clients, industries and uindustry processes.
- Engages clients with a consultative approach.
- Includes capability to envision and deliver end-to-end solutions.

a 3D Blueprinting is a model containing a set of artifacts that use open industry standards to represent all aspects of a business solution.

CobiT: Control OBjectives for Information and related Technology

Layer 1 & 2 (Business Architecture) methodology: Capture business drivers, environment and strategy. Describe processes, workflows, information, locations and organisations. Independent of underlying systems or technology.

Layer 3 methodology: Rational Unified Process (RUP)
Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition, (Production - URUP).
Development Best Paractices:
Develop Iteratively
Manage requirements
Use component architectures
Model visually
Continuously verify quality
Manage change
Unisys Extentions (URUP):
Parametric cost modeling
Linkage of models through XML
Integration with ProForma ProVision Business Modeling Software
Building UML Extensions for infrastructure technical services

"Unisys Delivers Services and Technology Solutions for Secure Business Operations"
Solutions = Services and technology
Business Operations = The core components of a business - strategy process, applications and infrastructure - from which business and government operates
Secure = Confidence, trust, managed risk, reliable

Visibility:
See -> Understand -> Take Action -> Secure
