Enterprise Architecture (EA)
For many organizations, strategic planning and execution of resulting projects are hampered by the lack of a shared view of the current business and IT landscape — the enterprise architecture.
They need a view that combines strategy, business architecture, information systems and technology domains. This is crucial for quickly analyzing the impact of proposed changes and prioritizing projects that drive the most value to the business.
Management Needs the Big Picture
Align IT Investments with Business Goals
Creating a platform for business-IT stakeholder collaboration is essential. Effective enterprise architecture supports strategy, analysis and planning by providing stakeholders a blueprint of the current state of the business and IT landscape as well as the desired future state.
Today’s applications, systems and platforms have complex interdependencies that make it challenging to enhance IT capability. An enterprise architecture strategy is essential to achieving successful, lasting transformations — such as major SOA initiatives and package application implementation — and managing the inherent risks of technology-enabled business transformation.
