The concepts of what is now referred to as Enterprise Architecture were first formulated in 1966 (yes 1966). As we all know, one of the great things about the internet, is that anyone can write anything about anything. One of the problems about the internet, is that anyone can write anything about anything! Earlier this year, we have entered, what we refer to as Enterprise Architecture 3.0 – reestablishing the focus first described in 1966.

This presentation will provide an understanding of where Enterprise Architecture begin, where it is, and where it is heading. Defined will be the four pillars of holistic Enterprise Architecture: (1) a Framework, (2) a Methodology, (3) Architecture Models, and (4) Implementation Models. The intent of this presentation is to provide a context, both for the seasoned practitioner and other interested parties, with a context of what is being done today, and what true business benefits Enterprise Architecture can provide.
