Presentation
Enterprise Architecture Benchmarking Survey
Infosys To understand what are the key concerns impacting enterprise architecture programs, and how architecture teams meet and overcome them, Infosys did a survey to investigate:

  • what are its key drivers and objectives of enterprise architecture efforts;
  • what EA teams are currently focusing on;
  • how they approach their tasks, and what they deliver;
  • how an enterprise architecture function is structured, and how it is embedded into the organization;
  • and how it measures and tracks its success.

The survey demonstrates that in most organizations, enterprise architecture has been accepted as a key component of the overall IT operating model that can enable both business value creation through IT, as well as efficient IT management.
