This is the long-awaited book on the Framework for Enterprise Architecture, written by the originator of the Framework for Enterprise Architecture – John A. Zachman.

The descriptive information about the Framework includes its logic structure, its use as a tool for Enterprise analysis, a review of key architecture issues such as alignment, integration, flexibility, interoperability and strategies for migrating into an architected environment. At a practical level, the book will also review how to define the build sequence for Enterprise Architecture, how to maintain enterprise-wide integrity as well as discussion of complex Enterprises and advanced concepts for managing a Federated Architecture environment.

The comprehensive descriptions of every cell of the Framework include Definitions, Sample Models, Measurement, Use of the Models and Techniques for Modelling. The first-ever compilation of 21 articles authored by John Zachman include recent articles such as “Packages Don’t Let You Off the Hook”, “Enterprise Architecture Artefacts Versus Development Artefacts” as well the two original articles on the Framework that were published in the IBM Systems Journal.

ABOUT JOHN ZACHMAN:
In 1987, John Zachman, author of the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, wrote “To keep the business from disintegrating, the concept of information systems architecture is becoming less of an option and more of a necessity.”

From that assertion, the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture has evolved and become the model around which major organisations view and communicate their Enterprise information infrastructure
