2. What is enterprise-architecture?

Yes, IT is a key part of EA…
the technology around IT…
and uses of IT - mobile…
…social (sort-of)…
…and local, too…

3. Yet what is
enterprise-architecture, really?
…it’s the architecture
of the enterprise.
…so everything here is part of
the enterprise-architecture, too…

4. (because technology is an enabler
that makes the enterprise possible)
“It’s not not about the technology”
(Andrew McAfee)
but technology is only a means;
whereas enterprise is the ends
- don’t mix them up!
Enterprise-architecture addresses
common themes that must pervade
through every part of the enterprise.
