BDM Architecture Principles Proposed to BDM-ARC for endorsement (1-5 out of 10) 1) BDM will implement a new Target Operating Model designed for the future. Transition will be gradual and iterative ensuring service continuity. 2) BDM will consume a GC or ESDC enterprise solution/service where it exists and meets all BDM mandatory and majority of non-mandatory functional and non-functional requirements, as well as, when there is a commitment and plan for long-term investment in sustainment and support. 3) BDM will favour investment in strategic solutions and technologies over investment in interim and tactical ones. 4) Data is at the center of BDM. BDM embraces Data Management-by-design by building services and processes that support and enable appropriate data access, standards and quality for ESDC clients, partners and staff. BDM advocates leveraging data from an authoritative source. 5) Digital First. BDM will design and implement digital interfaces to enable and encourage submission of information in a digital format through the digital channel and third-party systems and end-user applications. 6) Open solutions by default, proprietary by exception. SaaS and COTS that support open standards are considered open solutions. Open source will be considered where appropriate. 7) Balance Service and Security. Balance proactive and personalized Service Experience and Privacy. 8) BDM will embed integrity and quality controls up-front and throughout processes and services. 9) Cloud First. BDM will leverage cloud where appropriate and available. 10) Minimize changes and write-back to legacy.
