Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise architecture (EA) is a thorough description of the structure of an enterprise, how the components are structured, the interrelationships between the components, the relationships with the external environment, and the guiding principles for the design and evolution of the enterprise.  This description includes enterprise goals, business functions, business processes, roles, organizational structure, business information, software applications and computer systems.

Cistel’s Enterprise Architects assist our clients by developing the architecture for a client organization to improve the enterprise, in a manner that more effectively and efficiently pursues its purpose.  Various business methods, analytical techniques and conceptual tools are used to understand and document the structure and dynamics of the enterprise.  Examples of frameworks Cistel uses are TOGAF, Zachman and SABSA.  Cistel enterprise architects use frameworks to model aspects of the organization, which allows the enterprise to be described from a number of important perspectives.  The framework that is used depends on the organization.
