Abstract

The concept of Enterprise Architecture and the associated architecture design principles and practice of service orientation has gained popularity of late. However, many implementation attempts do not realize the intended SOA promise, and whilst software application vendors’ implementations of SOA are maturing, there is a need to understand issues relating to scoping and delivery. First and foremost, the broader context of Enterprise Architecture must be understood in the context of emerging models such as Cloud Computing, to ensure sustained alignment of business and IT assets.
