Enterprise Architecture as Strategy is a valuable resource for C-level executives determined to "get information technology right" in their organizations. Resisting the tendency to take a one size fits all approach to the question, the authors focus on business operating models to point to the appropriately aligned enterprise architecture. This provides a foundation for execution and growth. All in all, this is a practical handbook for leaders to identify and harvest the benefits of information technology in a way that fits their businesses' characteristics and needs.

An excellent and timely study that puts the architecture value proposition in a present-day context; one in which IT is integrated into core business processes and the management of IT is increasingly outsourced.

Many companies fail to create an integrated vision for how business processes should work across the enterprise and how information, applications, and technologies should enhance or even perform these processes. Enterprise Architecture as Strategy clearly demonstrates the importance of creating an enterprise architecture-not just an IT architecture.
Stuart Scantlebury, Vice President and Director, The Boston Consulting Group

A pragmatic road map for any company that is seeking to build an IT foundation to leverage profitability and growth.
