In this course, students will learn how to integrate information and communications technologies to effectively and efficiently support business goals. The course examines how enterprise architecture (EA) informs business and technology strategy, including defining, designing, and delivering ICT systems and solutions. The course will explore the basics of EA, such as reference architectures, architecture patterns, and a comparison of EA and other architecture types. Students will also examine the opportunities and limitations of various EA frameworks. Students will apply the methods and tools of one of those frameworks, TOGAF, to design and document an EA initiative. Additionally, EA implications of recent ICT trends such as cloud computing, global privacy and data protection, artificial intelligence, and ICT ecosystems will be explored.
