ABSTRACT

This template, Enterprise Architecture is a comprehensive blueprint for the automated enterprise that is developed from different views and perspectives [1]. The thought was that a single company or organization can be an enterprise, when the reality is that no organizational entity can operate as a complete enterprise without considering 1) relationships with customers, 2) relationships with suppliers and contractors, and 3) relationships with regulators. Therefore, the enterprise model expressed in enterprise architecture must address how the operation interacts in its functional universe. Special consideration is given to 1) information, 2) processes, 3) enabling technology, and 4) enabling human resources and their associated organization.
