Enterprise architecture is the driving force to establish a roadmap to achieve the objectives of
the business via technology investments and the utilization of current information technology
environments. The California Information Technology Council (2005) recently published
a framework describing a collection of principles that represent the criteria for investment
and governance. First, the business must drive the technology decisions, and architecture
must enable this activity by minimizing unintended effects on the business due to technology
changes. Utilizing enterprise repositories for impact analysis will ensure that proposed
changes will not create catastrophic events within the business itself. Technology communities
should build what the business needs, not what technology experts think is important.
Metadata provides the means for inventory management to see what is already built, which
ensures that duplicate efforts do not occur. In addition, efforts like domain analysis help
understand how the inventory maps to the business processes. Enterprise architecture ensures
that all decisions are made across business units where no single organization declares
a standard that is incompatible with the current infrastructure.
