| What is Enterprise |
|
A
good definition of "enterprise" in this context is any collection of
organizations that has a common set of goals and/or a single bottom
line. In that sense, an enterprise can be a government agency, a whole
corporation, a division of a corporation, a single department, or a
chain of geographically distant organizations linked together by common
ownership." [TOGAF]

"One
of the most important characteristics of today's enterprises is that
they are facing a rapidly changing environment and can no longer make
predictable long term provisions. to adapt to this change enterprises
themselves need to evolve and be reactive so that change and adaptation
should be a natural dynamic state rather then something occasionally
forced onto the enterprise. This necessitates the integration of the
enterprise operation and the development of a discipline that organises
all knowledge that is needed to identify the need for change in
enterprises and to carry out that change expediently and
professionally. This discipline is called Enterprise Engineering"

Taxonomy

Who am I |

The
terms enterprise taxonomy or classification, enterprise
architecture frameworks, and enterprise reference architecture
frameworks are often used interchangeably – this is the
beginning of
the enterprise puzzle. The enterprise Rubik cube has now become the
prime game for all of the enterprise. However, "The rules of logic are
to mathematics, those of structure are to architecture".

Classification Framework Benefits |

An
enterprise classification framework organises the explicit knowledge
and intelligence of the enterprise business entity in an efficient way
on the basis of stakeholders’ views and viewpoints to help
build the
enterprise architecture. On the other hand, the Enterprise Architecture
Framework builds the enterprise considering classification information.
The Enterprise Classification Framework is an analytical tool that
facilitates clear descriptive representations of any complex adaptive
enterprise system.
Enterprise
Classification framework helps us identify the nature of the complex
adaptive system populating different cells of the classification
framework matrix. Enterprise Classification Framework generates a set
of information that helps us to build up the actual enterprise
architecture very easily and quickly.
In this current enterprise industry only two Enterprise Classification
Framework are in existent : Harmony, the
Enterprise Classification Framework and Zachman Framework.
