The purpose of an Enterprise Architecture capability is to identify and manage the people, process and technology elements of an organization. All elements need to be clearly understood and available in an interactive model which can then be used to evaluate existing operations and manage change over time. The key advantages that result from a good enterprise architecture bring important business benefits, which are clearly visible in the net profit or loss of any organization.
As a comprehensive method for Enterprise Architecture, TOGAF 9 compliments, and can be used in conjunction with, other frameworks that are more focused on specific aspects of architecture.
