- 7. “ Architecture” is a Process Enterprise Architecture in IT Copyright 2010, All Rights Reserved – Semantech Inc.
- 8. Architecture is Complexity There is more than one type of architecture and there are experts who specialize in each of them. Architecture is also the backbone for all governance or process efforts. Architecture must not only depict Systems, it must evolve along with them. Architecture is becoming dynamic – Architecture is crossing domains. Integrating the enterprise requires integration of its Architectures first… Copyright 2010, All Rights Reserved – Semantech Inc.
- 9. Enterprise Architecture “ Architecture” is now a Galaxy of related and interdependent “ Architectures .” Copyright 2010, All Rights Reserved – Semantech Inc.
- 10. Why Alignment Matters As enterprise complexity increases, the ability to track and manage relationships, interdependencies and outcomes becomes more difficult. This growing lack of alignment and traceability makes governance difficult and sometimes impossible. In the Federal Government, IT Alignment is mandated by law as is Enterprise Architecture. Alignment of Architecture, Governance and Systems can dramatically improve solution development success ratios and can reduce lifecycle costs for IT.

- 11. Meta-Integration Meta-Integration – This represents the integration of processes, data and architecture at the strategic rather than the system level. It is a necessary step that is often overlooked. Meta-Integration can occur as a first stage in a larger project or can occur in its own context to help organizations achieve alignment. Enterprise Integration in contrast is the resulting set of application, data and infrastructure interfaces that are deployed to satisfy mission or business requirements.
