Enterprise Architecture Enterprise Architecture has emerged as a discipline that can help steer the 'ship' of the Enterprise through both quiet and turbulent waters, charting a course from its current location to a future location in a safe and streamlined way.

9 The discipline has become more prevalent in recent years, but the precepts go back almost to the beginning of what is often termed the information age. An Enterprise is one of the most complex man-made systems and is composed of human, political, social, software, hardware and technology components. In an Enterprise of any appreciable size, it is impossible for a single person to understand the way the parts all work together, let alone understand its position in relation to the system of other organizations that form its environment, or to determine how it can evolve.

10 Enterprise Architecture can be used to create visualizations of the Enterprise at different levels of abstractions and to create Roadmaps that show how the Enterprise can be transitioned from its baseline (current) state to a target (future). state.
