Enterprise Architecture The Enterprise Architecture provides: A consolidated view of the enterprise's business drivers, trends, challenges and opportunities. Short and long term architectural objectives. Transition steps and organization and process change to move the enterprise from the current state to a long-term application and infrastructure architecture. An executable project based roadmap to support business objectives with technology. Application and infrastructure support to high priority business initiatives. Upon completion, the Enterprise Architecture becomes an on-going tool for strategic planning and priority setting. The organization must be committed to renewing the architecture on a regular basis, typically annually to correspond with the budget process.
