  3.  Defining the IT Operating Model (Chinese Translation)
    Defining the IT Operating Model (Chinese Translation)

    This white paper proposes a standard definition of "IT operation model" based on the published guidelines. Based on the work of Andrew Campbell and others' operation model canvas and Osterwalder's business model canvas, we regard the IT operation model as a component of the IT organization in the enterprise operation model, in which the enterprise operation model is a part of the enterprise business model. The IT operation model supports IT organizations that provide IT services to other parts of the enterprise and digital enterprises that embed IT activities into their business processes and products.

    An operating model has a description of activities and processes at its core. To improve understanding and communication, this White Paper, developed by The Open Group IT4IT Forum, frames the operating model aspects by defining those components. Learn More
