Enterprises Architecture Case Study
The (enterprises architecture) EA process can be a time and resource intensive exercise that requires a deep understanding of the organization's strategy, strong technical experience, and strong organizational skills. Over the last 8 weeks we have discussed EA and its value to an organization. We have specifically looked at the strategic value of information technology (IT), the integration of IT good and services, the governance of IT good and services, securing the enterprise and how to manage these IT resources in order to maximize value.
