How enterprise architectures can support integration

Published: 04 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

This article states the importance of Enterprise Architectures as a way to identify interoperability problems. Enterprise Architectures provide a common view of the primary resources of any enterprise (people, processes and technology) and how they integrate to provide the primary drivers of the enterprise. The authors of this work sketch an example where different kinds of integration problems are detected. Tracing enterprise information is mandatory to manage enterprises. Therefore, in this work there are identified and established different types of alignment relationships between the artifacts composing an Enterprise Architecture.
