6. An architecture framework is a foundational structure, or
set of structures, which can be used for developing a broad
range of different architectures. It should describe a
method for designing a target state of the enterprise in
terms of a set of building blocks, and for showing how the
building blocks fit together. It should contain a set of tools
and provide a common vocabulary. It should also include a
list of recommended standards and compliant products
that can be used to implement the building blocks.

âA well-defined practice for conducting enterprise
analysis, design, planning, and implementation,
using a holistic approach at all times, for the
successful development and execution of strategy.
Enterprise architecture applies architecture
principles and practices to guide organizations
through the business, information, process, and
technology changes necessary to execute their
strategyâ

Information and Technology definition
âEA is explicitly describing an organization through a set of independent, non-redundant artifacts,
defining how these artifacts interrelate with each other, and developing a set of prioritized, aligned
initiatives and roadmaps to understand the organization, communicate this understanding to
stakeholders and move the organization forward to its desired stateâ
Business definition
âEA illuminates how an organization and all of its members can achieve its objectives, through the
creation of a series of engineered models and project initiatives, that can be easily understood by
all the people associated with the organizationâ

The Business Architecture defines the business strategy, governance, organization, and key business processes.
The Data Architecture describes the structure of an organizationâs logical and physical data assets and data management resources.
The Application Architecture provides a blueprint for the individual application systems to be deployed, their interactions, and their relationships to the core business processes of the organization.
The Technology Architecture describes the logical software and hardware capabilities that are required to support the deployment of business, data, and application services.
This includes IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications, processing, standards, etc.
