    Enterprise Architecture Adoption and Best Practices

    While large IT project failures generate headlines, an even larger risk may be the incoherence that comes from developing new systems and capabilities without an overall vision or plan. Enterprise architecture is an IT best practice that provides a high-level description of the organization in its desired state. In this study, we analyze how many organizations have adopted enterprise architecture, how many have fully embraced the practice, and how many are likely to adopt the practice in the future. We conclude with an assessment of the various approaches to enterprise architecture and recommendations on best practices. (14 pp., 5 fig.) [Research Byte]

    The term “enterprise architecture” has been around since at least 1982, but the practice today is not widely adopted.

In this study, we will examine how many organizations have adopted enterprise architecture, how many adopters have fully embraced the practice, and how many organizations are likely to adopt the practice in the future. We conclude with an assessment of the various approaches to enterprise architecture and recommendations on best practices. (12 pp., 4 fig.) [Research Byte]
