What is Enterprise Architecture?

Enterprise Architecture

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) outlines the key relationships between business processes, applications and technology. It enables organisations to understand their own structure and how IT supports their business.

An EA provides a 'holistic view' of an enterprise and is used to provide an essential bridge between business strategy and IT delivery, and to support the realisation of organisational goals.

Put simply, an EA outlines what an organisation does, how it does it, what applications it uses, what technologies are required to run those applications, and how IT can best be aligned with business processes.

The primary purpose of implementing an Enterprise Architecture is to convert organisational goals into operational effectiveness.

An EA achieves this by:

  • Providing vital information for improved decision making
  • Developing innovative organisational structures
  • Managing resource allocation; and
  • Aligning IT infrastructure with business processes.

This leads to improved efficiencies and productivity, higher customer satisfaction, and lower costs.

 

Enterprise Architecture Frameworks

 

Enterprise Architecture Frameworks are the tools which are used to define and describe the structure of an Enterprise Architecture. An EA Framework is a means of structuring and classifying architecture models. Typically, organisations build an Enterprise Architecture within an EA Framework.

 

A number of frameworks currently exist, most famously the Zachman Framework, however a number of organisations choose to establish their own.
