EA and NS Enterprise Architecture
During the OVCP-project Jan worked with EA to model business processes, -roles and –services, informationfunctions and –services and business-/data-objects on an architectoral level, using the Archimate-toolset within EA.
In his current work the use of EA is strongly related to the integration issues within the existing applicational landscape and the growing need to connect and cooperate. The significance of data as a major business asset is an important driver for this development.
