Benefits Of Using EACOE’s Approach to Enterprise Architecture
EACOE uses three overarching categories of benefits for the EACOE Enterprise Architecture approach, which can provide a measurable Return on Investment (ROI) or related measures. Of course, these categories of benefits are dependent upon the definition of Enterprise Architecture – we use the Enterprise Architecture Center Of Excellence (EACOE) definition. We have moved away from “other” non-measurable benefits types, as most business stakeholders have heard these “platitudinal” statements from information technology professionals for years. We are not suggesting that benefits that are not ROI specific are unimportant, but we are tired of seeing the “rolling eyes” from business people!
The three categories are financial (reducing costs, enhancing revenues, etc.), services (business agility, improving service to customers, suppliers, stakeholders, providing consistent, predictable services, etc.), and infrastructure (reducing unneeded redundancy, optimizing transaction costs, etc.). An endless stream of temporary advantages must replace sustainable advantage as the means to winning. This comes from the EACOE approach to Enterprise Architecture and is measurable.
