Yes, IT is a key part of EA…

the technology around IT…

and uses of IT - mobile…

…social (sort-of)…

…and local, too…

Yet what isenterprise-architecture, really?

…it’s the architectureof the enterprise.

…so everything here is part ofthe enterprise-architecture, too…

(because technology is an enablerthat makes the enterprise possible)

“It’s not not about the technology”(Andrew McAfee)

but technology is only a means;whereas enterprise is the ends

- don’t mix them up!

Enterprise-architecture addressescommon themes that must pervade

through every part of the enterprise.
