Enterprise Architecture (EA): Elements of Maturity (PowerPoint PPT)

DESCRIPTION

IT works best when it is tied tightly to our company’s overall business goals. On the other hand, business unit executives have remained doubtful about IT’s ability to support them in creating value. Despite the best intentions of managers of both sides, companies continue to struggle to integrate IT systems and to determine whether IT actually improves performance.

This problematic tension between the IT departments and business units has inflicted on many companies for years.

One approach to closing this gap is the discipline call Enterprise Architecture (EA). EA is a logical framework that establishes the links between business strategy and organizational structures, processes, databases, and technologies. If a company wants to capture better customer information in order to energize an effort to sell additional higher margin products and services to existing customers, the company can use an EA system to align its customer relationship management, information retrieval, and sales planning software. EA applications can also be set up for staff training, account management, and frequent assessments of the campaign’s efficacy.

This presentation provides companies a good understanding of Enterprise Architecture (EA), its core components and elements to maturity. There are 4 key elements that companies must fully understand to master EA maturity.

1. Strategic Alignment
2. Leadership and Talent Development
3. Performance Management
4. Organizational Design
