JISC TechWatch has now released their second report on the Enterprise Architecture (EA) Pilot programme – ‘Unleashing Enterprise Architecture: Institutional Architectures and the Value of Joined Up Thinking’. The first report, 'Doing Enterprise Architecture - Enabling the agile institution' provided an introduction to EA frameworks and tools, together with case studies. This new report provides a synthesis of the findings of the pilot projects, reflects on the challenges of undertaking EA, and includes detailed review of EA tools. It does assume some prior knowledge and the authors recommend reading 'Doing Enterprise Architecture' report first. Many of the conclusions are embodied in the objectives and work plan of the ‘EA Practice Group’ which is being managed as part of JISC’s Flexible Service Delivery (FSD) programme.
