Why Enterprise Architecture adop3on now? Ø Laws and regulations US Clinger-Cohen Act & Sarbanes-Oxley in the US EU Directives on the IT Award of Public Contracts Ø Current IT systems do not longer meet the needs of the business Fragmented, lack of response and many duplicated Ø Lack of Investment Values in IT i.e. Little or No ROI Budget often focussed on system maintenance Ø Chaotic Project Management Office - Lack of skills, requirements, scope, resources, etc Ø Critical to business success - Good information management = competitive advantage Ø The need in meeting enterprise expectations - SLA (Service Level Agreement) and OLA (Operational Level Agreement) Business IT Architecture Series ASIA 2013 2
