Loading...An Enterprise Architecture (EA) represents a structured and harmonised collection of plans for designing and evaluating the IT architecture of an organisation. It provides a variety of integrated views at different abstraction levels concerning the current and target states of the EA. It also includes a migration plan for transitioning from the AS-IS architecture to the TO-BE architecture. The EA enables IT Managers to manage the overall IT investment in a way that meets the needs of the business, while being in compliance with defined architectural principles.
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) consists of principles and methods for designing and implementing the EA. The objective of EAM is to help IT Managers to address one of today’s main challenges, which is the alignment of information technology with the organization’s business processes. Creating opportunities to support the business processes using IT technology is increasingly important. As a result, extended requirements on quality, availability and the costs of IT must be met. Organisations often run tens or even hundreds of applications in a heterogeneous IT environment, where the ownership of these applications is often not entirely clear. Implementing an efficient and effective Enterprise Architecture Management forms a basis for a continuous alignment of IT and business by bridging the gap between the business strategies and application development.
