What is Enterprise?• Enterprise is any collection of corporate or institutional task-supporting functional entities that

have a set of common goals or s single mandate.• An entire corporation, a division or department of a corporation, a group of geographically

dispersed organizations linked together by common administrative ownership, a government agency, a group of government agencies, etc.

• Extended enterprise is a logical aggregation that includes internal business units of a firm along with partners, customers and suppliers


What is Architecture• ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000 describes an architecture as “the fundamental organization of a system,

embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution.”

• Types of Architectures:


Necessity of EA


Risks Without EA• Locally optimal, rather than globally optimal solutions• Expensive, nonshared, RTE-intensive solutions• Closed vendor/proprietary environments - little leverage• Vendor enslavement• Suboptimal service from a cost, feature, and portability perspective• Excessive, unhealthy reliance on vendor, which may not have a firm’s best interests at heart• Failure to follow industry standards or regulatory compliance• Not achieving best-in-class/best-in-breed solutions• Inappropriate visibility due to nonoptimal SLA metrics• Infrastructure becomes outdated and expensive• Expensive, unhealthy reliance on vendor, which may not have firm’s best interests at heart• Failure to follow industry standards or regulatory compliance• Not achieving best-in-class/best-in-breed solutions


Motivations for EA


What is Enterprise Architecture?• The Enterprise Architecture is a unified IT environment blueprint (standardized harware and

software systems) across the firm or all of the firm’s business units, with tight symbiotic links to the business side of the organization and its strategy. More specifically, enterprise architecture promotes alignment, standardization, reuse of existing IT assets, and the sharing of common methods for project management and software development across the organization. Thus, EA makes the IT cheaper, more strategic, aligned to business and more responsive.
