Global Enterprise Architecture Self-Assessment Tool

Forrester's Global Enterprise Architecture Self-Assessment Tool is an interactive tool designed to help enterprise architecture professionals identify their global EA initiative's probability of success. The tool bases this assessment on an organization's starting point in crucial areas that need careful preparation and management to ensure a successful global EA initiative. Forrester talked to representatives of global EA initiatives about their global IT organizations' goals, challenges, and other aspects of global EA. Industries included airline, automotive, banking, consumer goods, electronics manufacturing, insurance, natural resources, nourishment, services, and travel and tourism. The self-assessment summarizes findings from these interviews and offers them in 31 criteria distributed across five categories, which include: global EA objectives and mission, global business environment, IT organization, EA tools and frameworks, and global EA team.
