Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise architecture (EA) is the process by which organizations standardize and organize IT infrastructure to align with business goals.

What is Enterprise Architecture?

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an organizational model; an abstract representation of an Enterprise that aligns strategy, operations and technology to create a roadmap for success. There are many definitions of the word enterprise: in EA, an enterprise is a complex organization that is attempting to undergo change. – https://eabok.org
Snippet from Wikipedia: Enterprise architecture

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is as a discipline that: i) defines, organises, standardizes, and documents the whole architecture and all important elements of the respective organisation, covering relevant domains such as business, digital, physical, or organisational; and ii) the relations and interactions between elements that belong to those domains, such as processes, functions, applications, events, data, or technologies.
