Twenty years after the first publications and books on
enterprise architecture, the domain is evolving from a
technology-driven towards a more business-driven approach, thus
empowering decision makers to adapt and transform an enterprise in
order to keep up with changing business needs. At the same time the
discipline of enterprise architecting has matured, leading to a
better understanding of the profession of an enterprise
architect.
With this book, the authors aim to provide an overview of
enterprise architecture including the process of creating, applying
and maintaining it, thus taking into account the perspectives of
CxOs, business managers, enterprise architects, solution
architects, designers and engineers. They explore the results that
are produced as part of an enterprise architecture, the process by
which these are produced, and the role the architect plays in this
process. As such, they do not describe a specific method for
developing an enterprise (IT) architecture, nor do they define a
specific modeling language for enterprise architecture, rather they
offer the reader a fundamental way of thinking about enterprise
architecture, which will enable him to select and apply the right
approach, architecture framework and tools that meet the objective
and context of the architecture work at hand. This approach is
emphasized by discussion statements at the end of each chapter,
sparking thoughts about benefits, shortcomings, and future research
directions.
Covering both theoretical foundations and practical use, and
written in close collaboration between industry professionals and
academic lecturers, Enterprise Architecture thus offers an ideal
introduction for students in areas like business information
systems or management science, as well as guidance and background
for professionals seeking a more thorough understanding of their
field of work.
