Introduction to EA

Increased interest for Enterprise Architecture

Due to the demand of constant change and development in organizations, the interest for Enterprise Architecture has increased. The requirements will mean greater complexity with increased difficulty in accessing information. EA, described as an architecture for the entirety, is based on an approach from international framework as Zachman and TOGAF. This approach defines architecture as a description of the components rather than a merger or combination of several ingredients. A parallel to the construction industry is that it consists of elements or inputs that are combined or merged into a construction.
