Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Mathematical models provide a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. Models explain how a system operates and predicts its behaviour with changing parameters and assumptions .
Mathematical models answer questions. In …
Last week, someone asked me how I go about producing a data model. I found out afterwards that my answer was considered too brief. So here’s a longer version of my answer.The first thing to consider is the purpose of the modelling. Sometimes there is a…

The role of Enterprise Modelling in the evolution to Digital
Enterprise Architecture is just a tier of Enterprise Modelling, focusing on the IT architecture.
Enterprise Modelling, is a key asset in managing the enterprise, its evolution and resilience.
Enterprise Architecture is facing several challenges as a discipline and a practice. In this blog post, John Gøtze outlines four central challenges, and discusses what should be done. He suggests that enterprise architecture management must focus on enterprise collaboration.
