What is EA?
 The primary reason for developing an enterprise
architecture (EA) programme is to have a clear picture
of your organisation and learn how it works from the
business to IT and how business visions and strategy
can be met.
 EA enables you to align organisational structures,
processes, applications and technology to help business
services get delivered at less cost, higher quality and
higher speed.
 An enterprise architecture programme helps steer your
business in the right direction, prepare to deal with
disruptive business and IT change, and invest in the
right projects.

4. “Enterprise architecture consists of the vision,
principles and standards that guide the purchase
and deployment of technology within an
enterprise”
- Forrester, Gene Leganza
