Infrastructure Service Landscape
Every organization does have its own Service Landscape. Because of the fact that services are external behaviour (according to ArchiMate), OIAm advises to select names that are recognizable within the organization and link those services to Aggregating Functions. Aggregation Functions (based on Generic Patterns) are given names that are formal and match with the typical names of the Generic Patterns they are derived of. However, to make the service clear, an example of a Service Landscape is given below:
In the table below, a brief explanation of the Services is given, together with a link to the Generic Patterns these Services are related to.
