Enterprise Architecture for Digital Business

This book focuses on preparing all organizations large and small, and those wishing to move into them, for the impact of leveraging emerging, disruptive, and innovative technologies within the EA framework.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an essential part of the fabric of a business; however, EA also transcends and transforms technology and moves it into the business space. Therefore, EA needs to be discussed in an integrated, holistic, and comprehensive manner. Only such an integrated approach to EA can provide the foundation for a transformation that readies the business for the myriad enterprise-wide challenges it will face. Highly disruptive technologies such as Big Data, Machine Learning, and Mobile and Cloud Computing require a fine balance between their business and technical aspects as an organization moves forward with its digital transformation. This book focuses on preparing all organizations - large and small - and those wishing to move into them for the impact of leveraging these emerging, disruptive, and innovative technologies within the EA framework.
