An architecture for a solution requires understanding the problem at hand well enough that solving it can be described in terms that everyone understands. The architect speaks in terms of capabilities, not products.
Oil companies [are] essentially spending twice as much to undertake the same amount of work as in 2000¹. It’s evident that oil and gas companies are under an incredible amount of pressure.

Much has been said about the general way that EA frameworks divides the world into different domains. Mostly “Architects” rant about the fact that in TOGAF there is the single domain “Business” that is said to “take care of everything not IT” and such. Let’s take a look at how the News profession classify the […]
Typically the EA books I review are a summary of the author’s heuristic experiences; they provide viewpoints, models and tools for managing the challenges of EA.
