Enterprise Architecture is one of the most discussed topics among senior management of many organisations. Most of the business leaders believe that EA can solve their day-to-day business problems and can help them have better control of their business.
It is not a wrong assumption on their part regarding EA possibilities. It can help and has helped many but it has hurt more than it has helped. Why most of EA program fails and never gets above the ground.
Reality is that IT is still a vendor driven market. Businesses have no choice but to believe in what Industry has to offer them at large. Over the period of time, most organisations grow organically implementing proprietary solutions based on vendor specific technologies.
Most of projects are implemented to solve tactical issues at any point-in-time. Project manager and team members are always under pressure to deliver solutions within the constraints of time and budget. No one has time to think through the whole process from end-to-end and analyse how these projects deliver value in alignment to business strategy and goals.
How can Enterprise Architecture be a catalyst to help business realise their potentials and justify investments in ambitious projects? It is such a huge subject to discuss that it cannot be covered in one BLOG.
I will be presenting my own personal views regarding Enterprise Architecture in coming weeks. There are many interesting areas within Enterprise Architecture to discuss and evaluate. I will be commenting on subjects like EA, SOA, MDA, BPEL, BPMN, EA Frameworks, EA Maturity assessment model, SOA maturity assessment model, How to implement pragmatic EA etc.
I would like to close this BLOG on the note that these views are my personal views based on my knowledge and experience. I will not be representing any organisation or person in particular. People with any constructive feedbacks are more than welcome to leave their comments. I will try my best to get back to them as soon as practically possible.
Good night!!
