2ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE, STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCEPart 1: Answer to question 1:Reviewing the enterprise architecture literature: Organizations are provided with powerful framework with the help of enterprisearchitecture (EA) that assist them in aligning the information technology portfolios with theorganizational strategy by planning, managing, modeling and coordination. It is required byorganization to contribute to the implementation process of specified platforms and system forrealizing the benefits attributable from enterprise architecture. It was seen by early authors that afundamental part of the process of enterprise architecture is implementation. Architect initiallystarted the process of EA resulting from the change in organization’s strategic direction (Antuneset al. 2014). The process of enterprise architecture was originated in year 1960s to the business systemplanning methodology of IBM. Enterprise architecture was resembled by the business systemplanning of organization as it assister them in recognizing the way system should beimplemented and their importance in business. It was recognized by some early authors thatsuccessfully implementing the plan of EA forms the basis of success of an EA initiative. It wasperceived that most of organizations face obstacles in successfully implementing the system. Thedevelopment of term “architecture” arrived when it was perceived by organizations that it willhelp in addressing existing problems. It was mentioned in the ORISM report that most ofarchitecture project fails because its failure to address relevant issues was prevailing inorganization, insignificance documentation of EA and diminishing interest in such planning (Al-Nasrawi and Ibrahim 2013). Little attention was paid by later authors to address the

A framework for Implementation system architecture was introduced by Zachman in year1987 that emphasizes on technology, business process and data alignment. The original versionof his framework was extended by Sowa in year 1992. As per this model, the part of EA planincorporates implementation and his expanded framework view implementation challenge as anactionable and appropriate level of architecture level (Desfray and Raymond 2014). There wasrapid development in EA discipline with many methodologies, models, description language,definition language, tools, styles and representations after this phase. There were many reasonsattributable to gaining interest in EA as it helps in brining disruptive change and opportunities toorganization and leads to proliferation of network technologies and inter connecting the processand function of business. The implementation of EA discipline was explained by many authorsand bodies; nonetheless, they fail to address the challenges in implementation and do not give theexplanation of how the commitment and support for required system and platform was built byarchitect (Antunes et al. 2015). Since 2000, challenges faced in implementing EA was notaddressed by professional bodies, however, they help in building body of knowledge andconsistent definition of EA. Challenges faced in successfully implementing EA:EA is an integrated framework that assists organization in maintaining existinginformation technology or evolving them and achieving information resources management toolsand strategic goals by acquiring new technology. There have been constant efforts by researchersin addressing the implementation issues and failure of enterprise architecture application. Manyfactors were responsible for such system failure as revealed by recent survey from eighty nine
