Janne J. Korhonen

In 2015, the agency embarked on establishing two strategic frameworks to enhance its performance: 1) enterprise architecture framework and practice and 2) information management framework. I played a pivotal role in the two projects.

In the first one, I, together with a resident business architect, designed an agency-wide strategic enterprise architecture framework that fostered the identification, development, and management of capabilities across the agency. The framework featured a steering model, capability-based planning process, high-level capability map, service catalog, architectural principles, and development roadmap.

In the second project, I facilitated articulating information strategy, the design of an information governance model, and the specification of information management policies. The capability-based enterprise architecture framework transformed the agency’s planning approach from activity-based to capability-based – steering the organization from the future capability requirements rather than present resource constraints. The information management framework established a governance structure and unified and enhanced the agency’s information management principles, policies, and processes.

I specified and documented the solution architecture in a major transformation program, wherein an electricity distribution company replaced all 600,000 meters in its grid with smart, remotely readable meters to fulfill the regulatory requirements.

In this role, I led workshops for requirements analysis and architecture development; elicited functional and non-functional requirements, asset information, artifact dependencies, and master data and document information, process, system, and technical views; provided vendors with guidelines about the solution to be developed and secured alignment between the solution architecture document and vendor specifications; identified and evaluated solution scenarios and contributed to the definition of strategic views for the target architecture.

TESTIMONIAL
"Janne performed the work highly professionally, assignments always completed [on] time, [within] budget, and with quality exceeding expectations."

Led a development team of six people to implement the process control subsystem for the hot rolling process in a mission-critical, real-time environment based on a 4-tier event-driven architecture.

Specified functional and non-functional requirements with the customer, designed the solution in coordination with other teams and within the architectural constraints, coordinated the software development, and developed system test cases.

The PCS system comprised 150 user interfaces, 210 database tables, 16 message brokers, and 22 business logic servers.

Analyzed competitors and markets, defined the product vision, value proposition, and business model, outlined the product roadmap, calculated revenue and cost, identified team requirements, and designed a user study. This groundwork laid the foundation for the subsequent design phase, enabling the client to create a product that truly resonated with their customers.
