"A well-defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy."Enterprise architecture applies architecture principles and practices to guide organizations through the business, information, process, and technology changes necessary to execute their strategies.
These practices utilize the various aspects of an enterprise to identify, motivate, and achieve these changes."

Enterprise architects are often called upon to draw conclusions from the information collected to address the goals of enterprise architecture:
