Leveraging EA and IoT Synergy for Digital Transformation
Over the past few years, the business world across the globe has been witnessing a new kind of change. It is unique, it is disruptive, and more importantly it is constant.

Over the past three or so decades, enterprise architecture or EA has established itself as a discipline in almost all enterprises – large and small. Starting with the early work by John Zachman [1], and with the maturing TOGAF standards [2], EA frameworks have been embraced consistently within many organizations. The need for and usage of these EA frameworks have grown over time, as they help organizations handle complexities and diversity, as well as mitigate the associated risks of shifting computing paradigms.

Establishing the Business Architecture Practice: A Case Study
Business and IT professionals are rapidly embracing business architecture (BA) as a mainstream concept to recognize their needs, goals, and vision for business transformation. However, establishing comprehensive, pragmatic BA practice is still in its primitive stage. In today’s adverse economical climate, where businesses try to do more for less, understanding business architecture — and its related challenges, risks, issues, and concerns — can go a long way toward successfully achieving business transformation. This Executive Report presents a real-world case study to highlight the realities of establishing a BA practice. Our lessons learned and cultivated best practices will add significant value to establishing your own BA practice.

Leveraging EA to Incorporate Emerging Technology Trends for Digital Transformation
CURRENT STATE OF THE EA UNION Starting with the early work by John Zachman,1 and with the maturing TOGAF standards,2 enterprise architecture (EA) has become a primary discipline within any organization. The need for and usage of these EA frameworks have grown over time, as they help organizations handle complexities and diversity, as well as mitigate the associated risks of shifting computing paradigms. EA is commonly understood as a bird’s-eye view of an organization’s IT paraphernalia (including systems, applications, networks, and security). Such an all-encompassing model of an organization’s IT assets and how they all fit together results in what is commonly known as an enterprise architecture. In turn, an EA provides benefits beyond technology and plays a strategic role in influencing business direction and decisions.

A Close Look at Making Crowdsourcing Effective
Crowdsourcing has become popular over the past decade in the consumer-centric business climate. It offers businesses, particularly startups and small-to-midsized companies, a pool of talented resources and experts from which to solicit services and solutions. This pool of talent provides a diverse “crowd” of people with a variety of interdisciplinary knowledge, expertise, and experience. It often includes a wide selection of customers familiar with the product(s) or service(s) that the interested business delivers or markets. A unique element of crowdsourcing is the requirement for the resources to connect over the Internet or via a network in order to participate in the initiative. Moreover, since crowdsourcing is not restricted to a specific team of resources, as in the case of outsourcing, its resources can be located anywhere in the world.
