Explore The Enterprise Architecture Toolkit

Enterprise architecture is the principle structural mechanism for establishing a basis for assimilating high rates of change, advancing the state of the art in enterprise design, managing the knowledge base of the enterprise, and integrating the technology into the fabric of the enterprise.
Enterprise architecture is cross-disciplinary, requiring diverse skills, methods, and tools within and beyond the technology community.

The Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework establishes a universal language to facilitate communication, research, and implementation of enterprise architecture concepts across the Federal Enterprise. The Framework is a valuable cognitive management tool, central to making long-term and short-term trade-offs inherent when managing change in a complex enterprise.
Instantiation of this Framework will allow the Federal Government to do the following.

1. Organize Federal information including common data and business processes on a Federal wide (enterprise wide) scale
2. Promote information sharing throughout the Federal Enterprise and within segments
3. Help the Federal Enterprise develop architecture descriptions
4. Help the Federal Enterprise move more quickly toward developing new and improved processes
