ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
Introduction
EA framework or enterprise architecture basically describes the procedure of the creation
along with the utilization of a single enterprise architecture. The framework of the architecture
helps in providing practices as well as principles for the aim of creation along with the utilization
of the definition of architecture of any particular system.1 In addition to this, it also helps in
structuring the thought process of the architects by the procedure of the division of the
architecture into several kinds of layers, offer models, views and domains as well.2 The offer
models basically indicates towards the diagrams and matrices for the aim of documenting every
single view.
This report aims to focus on the description of the case along with focusing on the
architecture which is linked with the selected case. This report purposes to focus on the
framework of EA present in this particular phase like that of the several components of EA along
with several other levels. This report also aims to focus on the procedures of how the framework
of EA with respect to this particular case differs from that of EA3 cube framework. Lastly, this
report also purposes to focus on the benefits which are linked with the framework of EA which
has been implemented with respect to this particular case along with focusing on whether the
implemented framework of EA is appropriate with respect to the provided context as compared
to that of the framework of EA3 CUBE and the similarity among them.
