  • Capture, Structure, Analyze and Present Models
  • Support Change, Transformation and Optimization
  • Assess and Manage an Evolving IT Portfolio
  • Enterprise Architecture Management
  • Innovation

The 3 key findings in this report:

  • "Enterprise architecture teams often limit the scope of their EA tool to cataloging the life cycles and constraints of existing IT systems, applications and technologies. They miss the opportunity for EA tools to capture the business architecture, which supports business strategy discussions and underpin wider change plans of the organization."

  • "EA tools often fail to gain traction beyond EA, which limits their benefits. Without a focus on a shared operating model for the enterprise — supporting transformation, optimization and ongoing innovation — EA tools become difficult to maintain and fall into disuse."

  • "EA tools involve significant investments in time and resources to configure, populate and maintain. Although necessary for long-term success, low-maturity organizations might incorrectly assume that an EA tool will be sufficient to successfully kick off an EA program and resolve all their challenges. by extending the Magic Quadrant analysis."
