    A flexible enterprise architecture provides a consistent framework for strategic IT decisions that support business initiatives. It improves internal communications through a common language, helps link business and IT priorities by creating technology roadmaps, and reduces costs by encouraging standards. However, an enterprise architecture that enforces excessive technical terms or unrealistic transition goals can confuse business users and paralyze decision making. Common architecture frameworks include TOGAF, Zachman, FEAF, and DoDAF.

    ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
    A flexible enterprise architecture can provide a consistent framework for strategic decisions about the information technology used to support business initiatives.
    GOOD ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE n Improves internal communications by providing a common language for describing how technology can support business initiatives. n Helps companies link business and IT priorities by creating road maps for decisionmaking about technology initiatives. n Helps reduce costs by encouraging technology standards throughout the organization, thus allowing IT to pinpoint trade-offs in project costs based on adherence to architectural requirements. n Improves the quality of technology initiatives for business by easily explaining plans to a broad range of constituents. POOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE n Enforces the use of technical terms and jargon that confuse both business and IT. n Creates such a high level of detail for defining technology initiatives that decisionmaking is paralyzed. n Requires a level of standardization that can potentially limit business-unit flexibility and speed to market. n Has unrealistic goals for transition to new corporate technologies.
