Enterprise Architecture

Enterprises, from small to large, evolve continuously. As a result, their structures are transformed and extended continuously. Without some means of control, such changes are bound to lead to an overly complex, uncoordinated and heterogeneous environment that is hard to manage and hard to adapt to future changes. Enterprise architecture principles provide a means to direct transformations of enterprises. As a consequence, architecture principles should be seen as the cornerstones of any architecture.

This textbook provides a hands-on introduction to enterprise architecture management. It guides the reader through the applications of methods and tools to typical business problems by presenting enterprise architecture frameworks and by sharing experiences from industry.

In this book you'll learn about enterprise architecture (EA) and how it can help your organization.
EA establishes governance structures that guide the introduction of new technologies, ensuring they align with the company's innovation goals and adhere to established standards.
