Enterprise architecture is a description of the structure of an organisation including its business and IT
environments and can be used to guide business and technology change.
What Benefits
• Enterprise Architecture (EA) is both a process and a tool for Enterprise Architecture:
translating business vision and strategy into effective business
• supports and facilitates IT strategic planning, IT investment

enterprise including:
business objectives and needs
• people and organisation
• assists with the enhancement and optimisation of business
• business processes and functions processes through more effective use of technology
• information and data • improves IT business engagement through better understanding
of how IT supports the business
• systems and applications
• facilitates overall organisational efficiency through rationalisation
• technology infrastructure.
and consolidation of IT investments
• Taking an EA approach to strategic planning and decision making
• improves IT program and project planning, scoping, design and
(i.e. treating technology as a single integrated asset rather than
implementation
an assortment of systems and hardware) is critical if IT is to
deliver effective service and business value. • supports IT and Information Management governance by

Enterprise Architecture supports the effective execution of the IT strategy, and the governance and management of the
enterprise IT portfolio (including IT services, assets, systems and investments). Enterprise Architecture contributes to
the generation of business value by using an architecture approach to planning and delivering IT projects, services and
capabilities.

1.1 Define EA Vision 1.2 Define EA Strategy 1.3 Define Architecture Principles
1. Define Enterprise Architecture Vision, Strategy & Principles – Involves developing a high-level description of the baseline and target
architectures, covering the business, information, data, and application and technology domains and providing the sponsor with the
required tools to sell the benefits to stakeholders within the enterprise. It also involves defining how the new capability will meet
enterprise goals and strategic objectives and address stakeholder concerns when implemented
2. Define and manage architecture requirements – Involves identifying and managing the requirements for enterprise architecture
3. Develop architecture content – Defining detailed current and target architectures for the business, information, data, application and
technology domains
4. Define architecture opportunities & implementation roadmap – This process involves rationalizing the gaps between baseline and
target architectures, taking both a business and a technical perspective, and logically grouping them into project work packages. This is
a collaborative effort with key enterprise stakeholders from business and IT to assess the enterprise's transformation readiness, and
identify opportunities, solutions and all implementation constraints
5. Manage EA Knowledge & Content – This process involved publishing and organising architecture content (e.g. glossary, taxonomy,
meta-model, capability and resource to perform knowledge management activities). It also includes developing deliverable templates,
checklists for architecture reviews, and the automation of the EA framework and methods using a standard set of tools and
infrastructure to support the work of architects
6. Manage Architecture Services – This process involves developing a mandate for the EA function, a compelling value proposition for
the architecture team and setting up the operating model, putting in place KPIs and takes the appropriate action in order to deliver to the
required performance levels. Assigns people to the EA function and ensures that thFinprosys are appropriately skilled and supported in
order to be effective in their roles, including on-boarding, assignment to communities of practices, training, certification, and mentoring
and coaching.
7. Govern Enterprise Architecture – This process involves maintaining solution alignment with target architecture and business value
drivers though out organisational/business and technology
