1. Every EA framework needs a proper documentation does not matter whether it is to
be used in future or present framework. The importance behind maintain a proper
framework documentarian is that it helps in designing and analysis purpose. The
scope behind using this framework is that it needs to develop a proper establishment
of relationship between both the architectural areas. The framework used helps to
create an abstracted view of the enterprise that is being implemented with the
information architecture. This is the reason behind the need of proper present
documentation as it is the foundation for future framework (Zarvićn & Wieringa,
2014). With the help of future architecture framework the strategic goals related to
current architecture can be identified properly. Proper documentation helps in
preparing exact list for the needed requirements and also helps in meeting the future
need of the architecture.
2. The business process improvement s referred to a process that aims at improving the
services provided to the customer by enhancing the quality of the product, by
decreasing the costs and with this the customer value can be increased. This helps in
increasing the productivity of the business process as happy customer will add value
towards the business. With the help of business process reengineering the
organization has the capability to restructure their organization. Business process
reengineering mainly focuses on the ground up design and completely reengineers the
whole existing business into a new form (Zarvićn & Wieringa, 2014). The business
process reengineering will help the future architecture to build a better business with
the help of modification added towards the already existing specifications. The
business strategy behind this concept is that it gets improved with each level of

enterprise architecture. With the implementation of business process reengineering
working will get improved.
3. In order to improve the effectiveness of implementing enterprise architecture different
communication process can be used. This will help in improving the enterprise
architecture modelling. In order to improve enterprise architecture, there are 10 levels
that facilitates better communication. This includes conversation over phone, video
chat, social media and many more. Enterprise architecture communication main aim
is to deliver the exact meaning of enterprise architecture artefacts to every users
(Zarvićn & Wieringa, 2014). Each enterprise architecture user should be able to use
this artefacts properly in order to manage proper integration within the project work.
The technique used for proper communication includes step by step working so that
the goal can be meet. The change in communication process will help in enhancing
the future architecture and the infrastructure at each level will also get improved with
proper implementation.
4. In order to understand the planning assumptions that stimulates the changes let us assume
an enterprise named HighLand pvt. Ltd.. In this enterprise everything changes with time and
with the implementation of better enterprise architecture. The changes taking place over the
business can be analysed from the changes observed within the technology, human factors
and processes. In order to get a proper feedback and knowledge of the implemented plan,
strategic assumption can be done on organization’s plan. The strategic plan needs to be
discussed before implementation process so that the working can be understood properly.
There are some specific area where these plans are needed to be incorporated properly for
better results (Vargas et al., 2016). This places includes market position, managing the
assets of the enterprise, managing financial stability, organizing stakeholders and the macro
environmental forces.

1. There are two types of data modelling that market possess a great value in the market. This
are object oriented data modelling (UML) and traditional data modelling (ER). The ER
modelling is known as traditional data modelling as it uses conceptual data modelling
technique for viewing the real world entities in a form of relationships. The main behind
using this data modelling technique is to facilitate easy communication with end to end users
and also helps in better understanding the transformed relational tables. With the
enhancement in technology ER model get developed and modified. On the other hand object
oriented data modelling uses models object classes rather than entities. The relationship
between the models of this modelling technique is known as associations (Nikpay et al.,
2016. UML diagram uses numbers and characters in order to express the cardinality and
optionality respectively. This expressions are delivered in a form of more complex that offers
a fixed upper and lower limit. Flags are described in the object oriented modelling for
describing the proper business rules.
2. While working in a business it becomes important to have a proper knowledge about
the hardware and software that are supplied by the vendors. With the help of proper
documentation the working within the business can be easily tracked. The details
related to each document is further incorporated within the enterprise architecture
artefacts so the enterprise architecture can be maintained efficiently for better results
(Niemi, & Pekkola, 2017). Hardware and software related to enterprise are important
and needs to be maintained properly. This will define a proper way of implementing a
strategic plan that will further help the enterprise architecture.
3. A. let us assume that the chosen medium size private sector enterprise is Zara. After
this it becomes important to understand and develop a system that will help in
