The C3 programme aims to establish a new fit-for-purpose Cash Centre in Cape Town, to replace the existing facility, and to service the demand for cash from the Cash Industry for the next 30 – 40 years. The new cash centre is expected to be operational by 2028.C3 is a large-scale programme with many moving parts spanning across the following four Organisation departments: Corporate Services Department (CSD), Group Security Management Department (GSMD), Currency Management Department (CMD) and Business Solutions & Technology Department (BSTD). Several CSD, GSMD, CMD and BSTD initiatives are in-flight and need to be aligned to ensure a coherent operational solution can be provided for the new cash [URL Removed] have an immediate requirement for one (1) Enterprise Architect on a contract basis to define the Enterprise Architecture for the C3 Programme.
- The Enterprise Architect plays a pivotal role in providing:
- a blueprint covering the C3 Programme’s scope spanning the various domain architectures (Business-; Information-; Data-; Application-; Technology-; Security-; and Integration Architectures);
- guidance and direction to the various solution architectures to be delivered; and a roadmap for the C3 Programme.
Objective of this Scope of WorkAn end-to-end perspective across CSD, GSMD, CMD and BSTD, considering how C3 and other relevant initiatives integrate and come together, is required. The services of an Enterprise Architect are required to oversee and facilitate the delivery, modelling, alignment, quality assurance and sign-offs of all appropriate enterprise architecture deliverables as well as a roadmap for the C3 programme. A coherent and holistic Enterprise Architecture approach needsto be followed to ensure an end-to-end perspective is taken across CSD, CMD, GSMD and [URL Removed] Enterprise Architect will be accountable to deliver EA to support cross-functional, multiphase, and multi-project change initiatives for the C3 programme – EA to support Portfolio. An architecture for this purpose will typically span a single portfolio. In this context, architecture is used to identify projects, and set their terms of reference, align their approaches, identifysynergies, and govern the execution of projects. Other parties responsible for contributing to architecture deliverables will include domain architects and solution [URL Removed] Enterprise Architect will work under the guidance and direction of the Enterprise Architecture division and the leadership of the Lead Enterprise Architect, in collaboration with the other architects assigned to the programme as well as within the EA division, and work closely with the Programme Manager, Project Managers, the Business Analysts, and the Business End Users to deliver the Enterprise Architecture for the C3 [URL Removed] this context, the Enterprise Architect will deliver the necessary artefacts for the C3 Programme according to the Organisation Enterprise Architecture approach and standards, which is based on the TOGAF. The artefacts will also be modelled in the SARB Repository according to the EA metamodel, following the ArchiMate modelling notation
