The IT4IT™ reference architecture, Version 2.0. E-book. Formato PDF. The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture, Version 2.0, an Open Group Standard, provides a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic, and industry-agnostic reference architecture for managing the business of IT.

The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture standard comprises a reference architecture and a value chain-based operating model.

The IT Value Chain has four value streams supported by a reference architecture to drive efficiency and agility. The four value streams are:

Strategy to Portfolio
Request to Fulfill
Requirement to Deploy
Detect to Correct
Each IT Value Stream is centered on a key aspect of the service model, the essential data objects (information model), and functional components (functional model) that support it. Together, the four value streams play a vital role in helping IT control the service model as it advances through its lifecycle.

The IT4IT Reference Architecture:
Provides prescriptive guidance on the specification of and interaction with a consistent service model backbone (common data model/context)
Supports real-world use-cases driven by the Digital Economy (e.g., Cloud-sourcing, Agile, DevOps, and service brokering)
Embraces and complements existing process frameworks and methodologies (e.g., ITIL®, CoBIT®, SAFe, and TOGAF®) by taking a data-focused implementation model perspective, essentially specifying an information model across the entire value chain

The audience for this standard is:
IT Professionals who are responsible for delivering services in a way that is
flexible, traceable, and cost-effective

management landscape
