 What is Big Data?
• Consists of datasets that cannot be handled efficiently
with traditional data architecture.
• These datasets have extensive
• Volume – Size of dataset
• Variety – Multiple repositories, domains, or types
• Velocity – Rate of flow
• Variability – Rate of change in other characteristics
• These characteristics require a scalable architecture for
efficient, storage, manipulation and analysis

 Why is Big Data Important to All Enterprise
and Solution Architects in Healthcare?
• Social, mobile, analytics, cloud, and Internet of Things technologies, including connected
health devices (CHDs), produce huge volumes of data and enable continuous analysis
• Health Care organizations gather data from sources such as electronic medical records, payer
systems, and CHDs.
• Health Care organizations derive insights from data to make their services more effective,
efficient and accessible.
• Gartner estimates that 90% of large organizations will have a chief data officer by 2019*
• Therefore, Health Care Enterprise and Solution Architects need to consider building or
integrating Big Data capabilities throughout their work

 Why Are Standardized Architectural Frameworks Important to
Big Data?

• Big Data solutions

• Combine theory, technologies, and methods from multiple fields
• Combine data from multiple parts of the enterprise
• Impact a wide range of disciplines
• Require interoperability across multiple organizations

 What Does the ArchiMate Standard Provide?

• A language with concepts to describe architectures

• A framework to organize these concepts

• A graphical notation for these concepts

• Guidance on visualizations for different stakeholders

• An open standard maintained by The Open Group

 Conclusion
• Big Data challenges are distinguished by the Volume, Velocity, Variety, and
Variability of the data that they must handle
• All Enterprise Architects should consider including Big Data capabilities in
their architectures
• The NIST Big Data Reference Architecture provides a common framework for
a broad range of Big Data solutions
• The ArchiMate language can be used to model Big Data strategies and the
solutions that realize them
• The ArchiMate 3.0 language, with its new Strategy Elements, additional
Application Layer concepts, and increased ability to express complex models,
is particularly well suited for Big Data modeling
