terprise Architecture has always had a rocky existence in Asia (more so than any other region). While most people I spoke to acknowledge some need for it, it is usually the 1st group to be cut when the economy doesn’t go so well.

When I look back at my experiences, I think it is because many “Architects” have evolved from engineers and solution designers and have some trouble making the leap to “architecture”.

Therefore I decided to see how I can help in my own way. There are many books on modelling techniques, framework implementation and even certification guides, so i shall not duplicate those information. I decided to go back to basics and write about an overview of EA, how it got to where it is, cover some important frameworks, and most importantly what are the areas of architecture that make up a complete EA view and help folks starting out building up EA teams to understand the various perspective of EA.

I also cover some important concepts on architectural thinking (moving from engineering to architecture ) and how to get started on architecture documentation, which I find pretty lacking these days.

So, if you know anyone looking to understand the structure of EA, the basic concepts and how to document architecture decisions, do point them to my latest book.
