This is the long-awaited book on the Framework for Enterprise Architecture, written by the originator of the Framework for Enterprise Architecture – John A. Zachman.

• The definitive Framework description and use for analyzing Enterprise
• Comprehensive descriptions of each of the 30 cells
• Collection of 21 published articles written by John Zachman
• Collection of 25 video clips of John Zachman

The descriptive information about the Framework includes its logic structure, its use as a tool for Enterprise analysis, a review of key architecture issues such as alignment, integration, flexibility, interoperability and strategies for migrating into an architected environment. At a practical level, the book will also review how to define the build sequence for Enterprise Architecture, how to maintain enterprise-wide integrity as well as discussion of complex Enterprises and advanced concepts for managing a Federated Architecture environment.

The comprehensive descriptions of every cell of the Framework include Definitions, Sample Models, Measurement, Use of the Models and Techniques for Modeling. The first-ever compilation of 21 articles authored by John Zachman include recent articles such as "Packages Don’t Let You Off the Hook", "Enterprise Architecture Artifacts Versus Development Artifacts" as well the two original articles on the Framework that were published in the IBM Systems Journal.

ABOUT JOHN ZACHMAN:
In 1987, John Zachman, author of the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, wrote "To keep the business from disintegrating, the concept of information systems architecture is becoming less of an option and more of a necessity."

From that assertion, the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture has evolved and become the model around which major organizations view and communicate their Enterprise information infrastructure.

This Framework has been adopted by the United States Federal Chief Information Officers Council as a part of the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework Standard.
