The Zachman framework is an enterprise architecture framework that does provide a formal and also highly structured way of viewing and also defining an enterprise or organization. This architecture framework usually have a two dimensional classification matrix of 36 cells that is usually based on the intersection of six kind of communication questions in its columns (where, what, why, when, who and how) with six rows levels of reification (Scope, technology model, business model, system model, components
finding that computer systems are very complex and seldom do these systems produce a real business value to the organization (Session, 2007). Businesses are searching for an answer and that answer may be for an organizational to develop an enterprise architecture (EA). The complexity and constant change that occurs in business may be controlled by developing an EA, and this will facilitate alignment between the business objectives, business processes, and information systems (Ylim & Halttunenb, 2007)
1. “Enterprise Architecture” is a term that applies to both a program and a deliverable/output. A company may have an Enterprise Architecture team that is responsible for creating an enterprise architecture. Considering everything you have read, discussed, and learned in this program, (a) describe the ‘Enterprise Architecture’ discipline or program, (2) describe the ‘enterprise architecture’ deliverable/output. A) Enterprise Architecture defines the operations and structure of an organization
Enterprise Architecture is an organizational practice of analyzing, planning, designing and the implementation of enterprise solutions. Enterprise Architecture brings together the functions of information, business and application architects as well as the infrastructure specialization. Rationalization is the first basis for enterprise architecture. Rationalization process involves system consolidation to improve efficiency through cost-cutting. At Dell, there are five processes which are in relation
According to Pearlson (2012) “Any good architecture is based on a set of principles, or fundamental beliefs about how the architecture should function. Architectural principles must be consistent with both the values of the enterprise as well as with the technology used in the infrastructure.” (P.180). In fact, America Express apply complex frameworks, “employing an enterprise architecture (EA), or the “blueprint” for all IS and their interrelationships in the firm.” (Pearlson, 2012, p. 180).

Enterprise architecture can be used in a diverse number of ways. It can be used to describe a certain business practice in an organization and the aspects or elements of that specific business practice under description. The environment under which companies or business organizations operate in is always in constant change. This means that the managers should always introduce new enterprise solutions, which can directly contribute to the linkage to the measures of improvement of business practices

Zachman Framework: Zachman Framework is simply defind as framework which shows well defined Enterprise Architechture, which is basically represented
Literature Review on Java Development Berzal (2005) investigated on the tools and frameworks that are available for Java application development. This was to explore the merits and demerits of tools and frameworks. This researcher made good review of various frameworks in Java platform. The frameworks include Struts, Tapestry, WebWork, InternetBeans Express, Velocity and Cocoon. The purpose of these frameworks is to help developers build web applications systematically. They all support the design

The Risk Management Association (RMA) defines Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) as the “capability of an organization to understand, control, and articulate the nature and level of the risks taken in pursuit of a risk adjusted return” (RMA, 2015). RMA’s Enterprise Risk Management framework illustrates that ERM will provide the answers to eight fundamental questions related to risk (see Appendix, Figure 15.13.1). ERM analyzes internal and external uncertainties faced by all areas of the company, avoiding
Author Demetris Demetriou, in his book Decision Making Framework, describes decision making as the process consisting of stages, that help in problem solving (Decision Making Framework, 2013). Decisions can be made using below mentioned approaches (Various Types Of Decision Making Models, 2009). • Rational: Pros and cons of each option are listed and scored in order of importance. • Intuitive: Decision is made instinctively and without conscious reasoning. • Combinational: Combinations of rational
3. Aligning IT infrastructure and operations with the business goals In this part, I would analyze the process of aligning IT infrastructure and operations with business goal in details. By looking through the caselets and power points that have been given, my opinion is that IT governance plays the most important role to ensure that IT is aligned with the business goals, by implementing effective IT governance, the organizations can gain the maximum value from IT, so that the business goal on IT

The industry needed a standardized process view for suppliers and partners so that they can build enterprise systems that combine third party and in-house developments. To realize these needs, a framework or a model was required that focused on the business processes used, the linkages between processes, the identification of interfaces, and the use of Customer, Service, Resource, Supplier/Partner and

The connection deepens the understanding of the business value and help steer the agile framework, design quality and manage IT governance. This
Introduction As the business environment changes and becomes more complicated, enterprises are under huge stress to respond and be innovative to such conditions. Enterprises decision making needs to quick and strategic and so making such decisions can be very complex. What this report of Business intelligence (BI) will describe is the tools available to manager to support such decisions, the possible benefits and the limitations of BI. (Turban et al., 2011) Turban et al., (2011, p. 28) describes
