Enterprise Architecture practices and disciplines help ensure technology decisions are driven from an agreed-upon business context-and strategic roadmaps and architecture solutions allocate key enterprise assets to critical business needs within that defined context. Information is a key enterprise asset that must be tended within an information management architecture (IMA). Consequently, the IMA becomes vital to the quality of an enterprise architecture (EA). An EA that includes an intelligently crafted IMA, can bring together various types of data, marts, and warehouses to produce analytics and other critical information used to validate the effectiveness of an EA. Analytics help generate insights that can be used by organizations to inform strategic decisions, and propel the organization to the next level of performance.
