Moving from Software Architecture to Enterprise Architecture

Yesterday I visited a customer of ours. He showed me the possibilities of using Lattix together with Troux and in the mean time showed me more on Enterprise Architecture. So today I surfed some websites to get a better understanding of Enterprise Architecture.

In many cases Enterprise Architecture and Software Architecture do not differ much especially if you have at least some knowledge of IEEE1471 and the Views and Perspectives approach. Enterprise Architecture can be described by using different EA Frameworks. Since there are a lot I needed some comparison between those frameworks. I found a very nice whitepaper here.

This paper contains an introductory case in combination with the applicability of the frameworks in support of this case.
