    Welcome to the dedicated Business Architecture Section of BPMInstitute.org.

    Business Architecture is defined as "A formal blueprint of governance structures, business semantics and value streams across the extended enterprise."

    As with the above definition, which encompasses not only IT but the business infrastructure, this BA Section will address a broad range of topics. We will connect these topics through articles by a variety of guest authors as well as presentations and working sessions by industry thought leaders and practitioners at our BA Conference Series.

    Topics covered will include many of the most cited issues around Business Architecture. This includes:

    • Business Architecture Requirements and Strategies
    • Business / IT Alignment
    • Strategic Application & Data Architecture
    • Model-Driven Architecture
    • Architecture-Driven Modernization
    • Deployment Strategies: Making BA Work

Unfortunately, the gap between business strategy, essential requirements and delivery of actionable results is growing.
