Before starting with HOPEX Business Architecture
Defining a Work Context
For more information on managing you work context, see Enterprises and libraries.A library and an enterprise are used to represent a unique work context.
In the context of the HOPEX Business Architecture solution, a library can hold all the elements of your project: processes and org-units, for example.
Libraries are collections of objects used to split repository content into several independent parts. They allow creation of virtual partitions of the repository. In particular, two objects owned by different libraries can have the same name.An Enterprise is used to represent a work context.
An enterprise is a purposeful undertaking, an effort conducted by one or more organizations, aiming at delivering goods and services, in accordance with the enterprise mission in its changing environment. In the course of its development, the enterprise must adapt to its environment and establish the transformation objectives and goals to be achieved as well as the strategic action plans used to achieve these objectives. The development and achievement of the different adaptation and transformation stages can lead to a modification of the organization's boundaries. This requires the implementation of an integrated team, under the responsibility of a governing body, to involve the stakeholders in the transformation.Accessing the list of libraries with HOPEX Business Architecture
