The Narrow View

Business architecture is just another way to improve the way we build IT requirements. It blends business analysis and business architecture concepts to help IT design technical solutions.

The Broader View

Business architecture is a strategic discipline. It delivers holistic views of the business, thus enabling a wide variety of business planning efforts and the crafting and deployment of transformation strategies.

"Business architecture has gone mainstream, with discussions of the discipline now focusing on deploying standard approaches, sharing lessons learned, and building on a growing number of success stories."
