It provides an evolving, dynamic way of describing and aligning the functional aspects of an organisation, its people, activities, tools, resources and data/information, so they work more effectively together to achieve its business goals. EA is also about achieving desired future change through design. It holds that by understanding existing information assets, business processes, organisational structures, information and application infrastructures (the ‘as is’ state) it is possible to ‘do something different’, something new and innovative (the ‘to be’ state).” Taken from the JISC Doing Enterprise Architecture EA early Adopter study.
