Abstract
This chapter describes the features of an advanced Enterprise Architecture (EA) capability, positioned to contribute to complex organizational transformations such as acquisitions. The right composition of people, processes, and technology give the advanced EA capability two distinct qualities: the holistic and the engaged quality. The holistic capability means that EA cannot be confined to the technical layers of an organization, but needs to span across all architectural layers, from IT infrastructure and applications to operations and strategy. The engaged quality means that EA should not only should deliver input as a supplier to other organizational units, but should also actively engage in the collaborative solving of challenges with other units. The chapter describes the capacities and artifacts than are needed for an EA capability to assume these two distinctive qualities.
