Enterprise Architecture has long been touted as one of the tools needed to bridge the gap between business and IT. Despite the fact that Enterprise Architecture concepts have been around since the early 1980s, their critical mission of defining and linking organizational strategy with business systems and technology architectures has rarely been achieved.
So what has caused the resurgence of interest in Enterprise Architecture over the past few years? Proforma believes that the methods and tools used to capture enterprise views of an organization have finally matured to the point where Enterprise Architecture efforts can deliver on their long-held promise of
aligning IT initiatives with business strategy.
