This book compares enterprise architecture (EA), which can be an all-encompassing model of an organization's technical (IT) architecture, systems, contents (databases), interfaces, applications, and networks and solutions, to business architecture (BA), which can be defined as the link between the business strategy and the corresponding capabilities and technology assets of the organization in action. This provides a more holistic view of the enterprise that includes long-term and strategic input into the business decision-making of an organization.

 This book focuses on preparing all organizations large and small, and those wishing to move into them, for the impact of leveraging  emerging, disruptive, and innovative technologies within the EA framework.
