Enterprise Architecture

Preparation
Review the Zachman framework for enterprise architecture. You can get a copy of this framework by
checking the Internet resources identified as part of the Resources in this assessment. After reviewing the
Zachman framework, have you considered everything necessary for the proposed project? For example,
does the current architecture of the IT infrastructure within the company allow for ease of integration? Do
you have the appropriate personnel to work on the project? Does a budget exist for the project? Can
security standards be met? Can users be trained properly? What other IT systems need to be included as
part of your proposal?
Review the presentation that you created in Assessment 3. Using the Zachman framework, how can you
strengthen the proposed solution to ensure that both the business and technology stakeholder needs are
met?
