Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
In the previous two posts in this series we introduced the core of the ArchiMate languages existing of the three layers and three columns. However, not all questions that enterprise architects typically face are supported by this core. Think for ex…
What is a service? And what do services do? Seems like it’s time to re-explore some of the routine questions that come up almost every day in a service-oriented enterprise-architecture… not least because these questions are right at the core of the Enterprise Canvas model.
