Why whole-enterprise architecture?
Why whole-enterprise architecture?
Exploring the need for a broader scope
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog highlights the ‘why’ behind the work that we did to break enterprise-architecture out of the IT-centric box, and restructure it to support the whole enterprise. Whole-enterprise architecture, or Whole-EA, provides a literal ‘the architecture of the enterprise’, connecting everything together as ‘equal citizens’, across every type of content or context, for every scope and scale.
This book includes about 40 posts and 50 images from the weblog, and is split into two sections:
- Why Whole-EA: A Broader Scope - summarises the need and scope for a whole-enterprise architecture.
- Why Whole-EA: Viewpoints - assesses the changing perspectives on the role of whole-enterprise architectures.
