Round in circles on enterprise-architecture
One of the real pleasures of enterprise-architecture is that it covers the entire panoramic panoply of the enterprise, the many ways in which everyone and everything can work together towards a shared goal, creating a common bridge from Why to How to What and When and Where and Who.
One of its huge frustrations, though, is […]
Architecture and the Remainder of Design
In the one comment made to the earlier post Architecture in Context [Revision 1], different aspects are put forward that I also see as key elements in a defining story but in quite different ways as proposed. One, on which … Continue reading →
The Open Group Events in Arabia and India
Specific to IT security, the world is indeed flat, and the threats being faced as well as the security concerns and approaches in India and UAE mirror those in the US, Europe, and elsewhere. Continue reading →
Agility needs a backbone
Something that’s been concerning me quite a bit over the past year or so in enterprise-architecture has been the over-obsession with agility: agility for its own sake, perhaps, without much thought behind it, much thought about why or how we need to be so agile.
No matter what it is, it seems – whether in IT-architectures, […]
A week in Tweets: 20-26 March 2011
Still on catchup. but getting close: the previous week’s collection of Tweets and links; usual categories, of course. (The Tweets from the Troux EA conference, which also took place during this week, are already posted here and here.) It’s all there, after the ‘Read more…’ link.

About the PEAF book
I’ve just finished editing yet another book on enterprise-architecture, and set up its production via my Tetradian Books publishing setup. But you won’t see it on the site, and in fact it may never be published as such in its present form – though you will see it coming out quite soon under someone else’s […]
Cutter Report – How to Measure Success: Use EA to Define Architecture

Here are some points that struck me as interesting:

The emergence of service platforms and services enabled by the Cloud and its pervasiveness into social media and social networks underpinned by Cloud infrastructure and data centers; platforms enabling or launching other platforms. What does the future…
There is no right to not-care
For all the talk of supposed ‘rights’ to this-that-and-the-other, there is one ‘right’ that we do not, can not and must not have: the right to not care.
