It on again!! Or is it?????

It seems that after some swift negotiations that EA is back on the agenda! Except, in classic fashion, and totally in line with what guru JZ (John Zachman that is) warns about, there is a piece of software that does it all for us! In reality, of course, it doesn't. It is basically a series of change control spreadsheets, all very clever, but essentially NOT enterprise architecture.

The acid test now is, does this organisation want REAL enterprise architecture? Are the senior management team ready to commit resources? Do they REALLY understand what is needed?

We shall see!
