Ovum - Hybrid enterprise architecture frameworks are
in the majority
According to the study, three enterprise
architecture frameworks have gained a
reasonable degree of traction in this field,
but it should be noted that none can yet be
considered to have broad adoption within the
overall population, and to provide a
complete answer to all requirements.
TOGAF, Pragmatic EA
Framework, and Essential Project are the
most frequently mentioned frameworks by
respondents. Other frameworks
adopted by organizations include DoDAF and
the UK equivalent MoDAF, as well as Zachman
and FEAF.
PEAF
is part of the Pragmatic family of Architecture
Frameworks.
PEAF is a
vendor and consultancy independent, technology neutral,
Enterprise Architecture Framework which allows organisations
to kick start or re-start an EA initiative and provides a
comprehensive set of Products and Processes of everything
required to hit the ground running. It is FREE for
use by End-User Organisations, Government Bodies and
Academic Institutions.
PEAF
bridges the gap between minimal "EA Frameworks" which do not
provide a complete set of what is required or huge
monolithic “EA Frameworks” that are too difficult to
understand and difficult to use.
PEAF
achieves this by “Cutting EA to the Bone”, and
providing everything you need, and nothing you don’t. PEAF
is composed of two fundamental parts; Products and
Processes.
The
Products section provides all the products required to
undertake and sustain an EA initiative split into 4
sections; Foundation, Culture, Model and Governance.
The
Processes section provides all the processes required to
undertake and sustain and EA initiative split into 3 phases;
Prepare, Implement and Operate.
