Summary

The EA management suite (EAMS) is the next step in the evolution of EA tools. Going beyond modeling and standards repositories, the EAMS addresses pragmatic EA objectives such as IT planning, road mapping, and more directly managing IT risks. These suites require input and output to a range of IT and business roles and functions to be useful. Increased preparation, communication, and road mapping are necessary to achieve the full value that these tools have to offer. Customer references from EAMS vendors supplied Forrester with their best practices and lessons learned for getting the intended value from their tools. These best practices focus on ensuring that your EAMS is useful, stays relevant, and is accepted within your firm.
