The document discusses the vision and ideals for an enterprise architecture. It aims for the architecture to be self-documenting through automated workflows and change management. It also aims for the architecture to be automated through nightly builds, provisioning, and policy verification. Finally, it aims for the architecture to provide ease of use from 5000 feet by hiding complexity and enabling easy access, reporting, and health views. The overall purposes are business alignment, reducing costs, speeding time to market, and providing an integration framework.
