Enterprise Architectures

Written Report In this assignment you will need to find a case related to Enterprise Architecture (EA), introduce the case, and discuss how the documentation framework in the case is different from the EA3 cube framework in the textbook (An Introduction to Enterprise Architecture) by Scott A. Bernard. Your report could follow the structure below:

 Introduction – provide the background and purpose(s) of this report

 Case Description – briefly introduce the case (Chubb Insurance and Cisco System)

 Architecture in the case – Discuss the EA framework in the case (e.g., different levels, EA components)

 Comparison – Discuss how the EA framework in the case is different from the EA3 cube framework in the textbook (table can be used)

 Conclusion o State the benefits of the EA framework implemented in the case; o Discuss if the EA framework in the case is more appropriate in the

context of the case than the EA3 cube framework (if so, why; if not, why not). It is possible that the EA framework in the case is quite similar to the EA3 cube framework. You could argue that it is just an adapted version of the EA3 cube framework.

o State the different company that is using the same EA’s framework as Chubb.

Some guidelines / hints: 1) You need to cover all of the content required. 2) The report should focus on the documentation framework of the case. In other

words, you do not need to mention its implementation methodology. 3) You need to produce two report and compare with EA3 cube framework in the

textbook. a) Report 1: Chubb Group Insurance b) Report 2: Cisco System
