Enterprise Architecture (EA) knowledge refers to the understanding of the organization’s IT infrastructure, applications, and processes in the context of the overall business strategy. Effective EA knowledge can help organizations optimize their IT investments, improve IT agility, and achieve desired business outcomes.
EA knowledge may include:
Effective EA knowledge requires a deep understanding of the organization’s business goals, as well as the IT infrastructure and applications that support these goals. IT executives should ensure that their EA knowledge is well-documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders across the organization.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) Knowledge category within the CIO Reference Library provides CIOs and other IT executives with a comprehensive set of resources that illustrate effective EA knowledge practices. This category includes a range of resources, such as articles, whitepapers, and case studies, that offer insights into different aspects of EA knowledge, such as understanding business goals, assessing IT infrastructure, evaluating application portfolios, optimizing IT processes, and establishing governance frameworks. By leveraging these resources, CIOs and IT executives can gain a deeper understanding of effective EA knowledge practices and optimize their IT investments to achieve desired business outcomes.
