The State Of EA 2014: New Demands, Same Headcount

Since 2009, Forrester's global state of enterprise architecture (EA) online survey has tracked the trends, priorities, and challenges of the EA practice. In our latest EA survey, we find demand for EA increasing as businesses adjust to technological and consumer trends. As these trends send shockwaves through the business, EA's value proposition — and how it chooses to deliver it — will adjust. EA practices began restructuring their teams and their role assignments in the past year, and soon they must repackage their capabilities to tackle new challenges with the same headcount. In this report, Forrester outlines the major trends and their impact on the EA practice. This report is part of Forrester's solution for building high-performance EA practices.
