ACCLAIM FOR BUILDING AN ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE

“Enterprise Architecture has been an ‘emerging’ discipline for quite some time now, with a plethora of literature repeatedly providing mostly theoretical speculations. This book fills the urgent need of providing a pragmatic approach to converting those theories into a meaningful, viable, and useful architecture practice within an enterprise. In addition to addressing the key aspects of an architecture practice, the book also offers several valuable tools, such as the DYA Model and the Architecture Maturity Matrix, helping tailor and develop the most suitable architecture strategy for a given enterprise.” Atul Bhatt, Ph.D. Enterprise Architect in the financial services industry “DYA is THE practical framework for architects. It focuses on the process and deliverables of the architectural services. DYA gives suggestions how EA can be structured, but it’s up to the organisation to choose any EA framework as base for DYA. This book gives, by way of examples and best practices, guidelines how to implement the architectural processes and outlines the services an architect should deliver. The philosophy DYA drums into the reader, ‘just enough, just in time,’ appeals to us. When addressing EA, don’t grasp it in one bite. Do it the DYA way, bit by bit in a structured and controlled manner, just enough just in time. In other words, grow with Dynamic Enterprise Architecture.” rÖjan Carlsson Chief Architect at the national board of student aid in Sweden, CSN “The previous book on DYA, Dynamic Enterprise Architecture: How to Make it Work, has been used with great success for several years now in the IT-bachelors program of the Hogeschool of Amsterdam. This new book is a worthy successor. It provides our students with methods to implement the architectural function in various

kinds of companies. It gives them a broad vision on what is required to successfully implement an enterprise architecture practice.” aJn Hellings Tutor Information Technology, Hogesc
