ABSTRACT

For the case study, consider another fictitious company, Widget, Inc., a mid-cap-size enterprise, similar to The Only Denim Jeans Factory, selling its products to customers worldwide. The case study is simplified quite a bit to explain the concepts of an enterprise business architecture (EBA) without getting lost in complex details. However, it does contain enough detail to demonstrate proof of concept and to illustrate some real-world complexity. We could have modeled a lemonade stand and very easily demonstrated the concepts; however, it is doubtful that the lemonade stand would stand up to any serious examination or provide enough variety for analysis.
