About the Book

The book was written in an attempt to answer some of the common sense business questions related to Enterprise Architecture. What are the issues? What is Enterprise Architecture? Why should an organization consider Enterprise Architecture? And how to build the Enterprise Architecture.

An innovative Enterprise Architecture Framework is proposed. The framework looks like a content page showing the chapters of a book or in this case the components of the Enterprise Architecture without actually describing them but showing how they fit into the whole.

The book then identifies and summarises Best Practices in the Enterprise Architecture development. Practices will be outlined at each phase of a proposed Enterprise Architecture building process which in itself becomes a suggested good practice.

The book is intended to be a document essentially summarising why and how to build an Enterprise Architecture.
