  • Enterprise Architecture Success
  • "Succeeding with enterprise architecture is challenging, but if done properly, it provides a balance of quick, easy wins and amazing long-term business value."
  • — Robert A. Handler, Research VP
  • Enable for Emergence
  • "Architecture efforts fail when we forget that architecting an enterprise is more enabling for emergence (e.g., a market economy) than designing for engineering (e.g., an ERP system)."
  • Performance Benefits
  • "Enterprise Architecture provides far greater performance benefits for the entire organization when driven by business strategy than by the need for IT efficiency."
  • Business Requirements
  • "We help IT leaders arbitrate between the requirements of business and the capabilities of technology. Enterprise Architects orchestrate, nurture and harmonize vision, strategy and execution."
