Product Description

Information is the lifeblood of most organizations. In fact, in many cases information is not just critical to the business - it IS the business. Organizations struggling with the fallout from today's economy have a heightened need for enterprise architecture the set of IT plans that describes how all parts of the IT infrastructure need to behave to support the organizations needs. Urgent cost-containment issues, consolidations, productivity pressures and ebusiness integration all demand solutions. This book will help you master the vital skills needed to plan how data is collected, how data should efficiently flow through your organization, and how data is transformed into information can your business can use. Learn from Ms. Carbone's decades of experience and proven approaches to better understand and implement enterprise architecture.

From the Back Cover

Enterprise IT architecture made practical--finally!

There's only one way to maximize legacy infrastructure while integrating new partners, technologies, applications, and data streams: begin with a coherent enterprise architecture. But most approaches to enterprise architecture have been far too complex and theoretical--until now. IT Architecture Toolkit is a breakthrough: a practical, simple, rapid, and complete approach to delivering on the promise of enterprise architecture.

Jane Carbone's approach has been proven in mid-market and Fortune 500 enterprises alike. Step by step, Carbone shows how to integrate business, architecture, implementation, and all key outputs: for data, applications, technology, and people. Whether you're an IT leader, architect, planner, or analyst, you'll learn how to:

Create strong, auditable links with business drivers
Model your architecture simply, easily, and quickly
Translate your models to real, manageable projects.
Define the value proposition for architecture and establish realistic metrics
Achieve buy-in throughout your organization
Manage the "soft" aspects of your architecture initiative, including processes, roles, responsibilities, and organizational structure

Carbone provides a "soup to nuts" collection of methods and examples. Using her exercises, you'll construct a complete draft architecture for your own business: one that will handle change, opportunity, growth, mergers, downsizing . . . whatever comes your way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and straightforward, 29 Jul 2005

By	W. Miller "Will" (U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used this book to synchronise our methodology amongst a team - it's quick to read and pushes the right buttons. Getting a team to each read a large textbook was out of the question.

Once everyone grasps the methodology and desired outputs, it is possible to introduce more complexity to the Enterprise Architecture/Strategic approach as necessary. An excellent primer.
