The Enterprise Architecture Framework for Suomi.fi Service Developers is a framework compiled by the public administration that combines the organisation’s goals, operating processes, data, information systems and technologies into a uniform structure. There is no legal obligation to use the framework; organisations can use it as they see fit.

The enterprise architecture framework is maintained on the Suomi.fi for Service Developers website, where it consists of a description of the enterprise architecture framework and a guide that supports work within the enterprise architecture. The framework is maintained and developed by the architecture guild coordinated by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Make sure to also check out the public administration’s enterprise architecture glossary.

The objective of the Enterprise Architecture Framework for Suomi.fi Service Developers is to 

• compile and share content related to the enterprise architecture of the public administration in a centralised one-stop shop
• help organisations develop their own enterprise architecture and architectural cooperation with other parties 
• promote interoperability and provide support for the implementation of the Information Management Act (906/2019), especially the information management model, if the enterprise architecture method is used as the description method.

We also recommend reading the descriptions of international architectural frameworks, standards and recommendations, which have been prepared by the small groups of the Architecture Guild:
