A good architecture is defined not by the technology behind it, but by business knowledge that can be extracted from it. Enterprise architecture should be driven by your mission goals and strategic decisions, and it should drive your IT investment and development activities. Business processes are optimized, information is shared, systems are consolidated, existing components are reused, and new services are created, all to save you time, minimize cost, and increase efficiency.
