 Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a more specific area of expertise than IT or management consulting. While an IT-based discipline, EA touches on all areas of organisational management, particularly human resources and organisational architecture. The end result of an EA process should be an IT system that is aligned to an organisation?s internal structure and fits with its internal and external processes.
EA practitioners require many years of broad experience in large organisations, knowledge of process modelling languages, such as the Unified Modelling Language, and in-depth knowledge of the three categories of IT architecture: information, infrastructure and applications, or, more simply, data, hardware and software.
