Enterprise Architecture (EA) came out of the IT spectrum and provided analytical thinkers a framework they can use to think about the entire organization. EA provides a framework, methods and processes to understand your organization in a snapshot.

With all the adamant touting on behalf of the business transformation tool commonly known as Enterprise Architecture (EA), it seems that the important word enterprise has, regrettably, been scantily defined.

We are living in wake of this side effect, an era of great enterprise debt. It is like a sea all around us. Our businesses show it, our local authorities show it, Wall Street shows it; our infrastructure paychecks, and children’s education show it.
