Industry consolidation and globalization demand increasingly complex and varied IT solutions. One-size-fits-all enterprise architecture (EA) can’t satisfy business needs for flexibility, adaptability, and innovation: Architects using this approach are trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Partitioning architecture into a set of zones defined by their unique business needs creates the dynamic environment necessary to address these problems. Creating a zone view of their current architecture landscape helps architects identify areas that have high levels of variability or unique needs.
