Enterprise Information Technology solutions vary. A goal of enterprise IT is to provide solutions to the entire organization. Conceptually, an EA framework is a context that provides both support and data access for daily operations and business processes. Customer-centric enterprises have a need for enterprise IT solutions, such as:
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
Using the textbook and other resources, compose a paper that provides the following:
(a) a working definition of Enterprise Architecture (EA) including guidelines that focuse on the collaborative aspect of EA.
(b) a description of an application of EA. By citing a meaningful example, associate the core activity performed by an enterprise architect as it applies in real business.
(c) an example of risk management and a potential mitigation for a representative risk scenario.
In relation to these three enterprise IT solutions in a business-IT framework, provide
(d) an analysis the selection, implementation, and support for one of these solutions into real-world business-IT scenarios. Finally,
(e) an explanation about a selected solution (CRM or SCM or ERP) as it relates to IT infrastructure and integration of legacy system using middleware or as it related to a fit with business processes.
