An Introduction to Holistic Enterprise Architecture

About the Book

This is the only book on holistic (organization-wide) enterprise architecture (EA) that integrates strategic, business, and technology planning. The approach includes detailed information on EA governance, implementation, and use, including an example case study, a new chapter on solution architecture methods, and a new chapter on the use of EA to support organizational restructuring as part of mergers and acquisitions. Written in plain language, this book is recommended for executives, managers, and staff in large, complex public and private sector organizations that are too silo’d and/or have highly dynamic operating environments. No prior knowledge on the subject is needed.
