Accenture Enterprise Architecture Governance Solution

Effective governance of enterprise architecture holds the key to its integration into the organization's processes, and also to its ability to enable high performance.

In a survey conducted by the Enterprise Architecture Executive Council, "architecture governance" and "communicating enterprise architecture's value to the business" ranked as the two most important challenges for enterprise architects.

Accenture believes these challenges are best met by implementing agreed, appropriate architecture governance and management processes to ensure that architectural principles are embedded in the processes and procedures of the company. Only then will enterprise architecture's promise of aligning business and information technology goals be fulfilled, thus advancing the organization's journey toward high performance.
