EA -= Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a framework that defines the structure and operation of an organization. It provides a comprehensive blueprint for aligning business strategies with IT infrastructure, ensuring that all components—such as business processes, data, applications, and technology—work cohesively to support organizational goals. This strategic approach helps organizations manage complexity, improve efficiency, and adapt to change by offering a clear view of how different parts of the organization interconnect.
