1 Introduction
This report presents the results of the third electronic survey, executed by the
Institute For Enterprise Architecture Developments (IFEAD)©, on the progress of
Enterprise Architecture (EA) usage & implementations in several organizations all
over the world.
The Enterprise Architecture Survey's first edition was executed during 2003 and
the results were presented during the LAC2003 conference in the Netherlands. A
summary of the results is also present on the website of the Institute For
Enterprise Architecture Developments; http://www.enterprise-architecture.info.
In the context of this report the definition of the term Enterprise Architecture is
derived from the book 'How to survive in the jungle of Enterprise Architecture Frameworks'1.
Definition: Enterprise Architecture is about understanding all of the different
elements that go to make up the enterprise and how those elements inter-relate.
An Enterprise in this context is any collection of organizations that has a
common set of goals/principles and/or single bottom line. In that sense, an
enterprise can be a whole corporation, a division of a corporation, a
government organization, a single department, or a network of
geographically distant organizations linked together by common objectives.
Elements in this context are all the elements that enclose the areas of
People, Processes, Business and Technology. In that sense, examples of
elements are: strategies, business drivers, principles, stakeholders, units,
locations, budgets, domains, functions, processes, services, information,
communications, applications, systems, infrastructure, etc.
Filling in the EA survey 2005 at the website of IFEAD was voluntary, so the results
can be a little bit distorted by the fact that only people who are interested in
Enterprise Architecture are taking the effort to fill in this survey.
The survey was executed from September 2004 till September 2005.
In the following chapter, the context and scope of this study are elaborated.
Afterwards, the result of the third measurement and the progress that has been
achieved compared to the previous measurements is presented. In chapter 7 the
overall observations and conclusions on how EA progressed in the last year are
summarized. The symbol at the left is asking special attention from the reader for
some remarkable observations.

2 The Enterprise Architecture Survey 2005 - Study
This third report is part of a yearly recurrent survey to measure the progress and
developments in Enterprise Architecture. The report is based on a 25 questions
survey, addressing geographical aspects, branch aspects, EA implementations
aspects as well about tools and methodologies used in Enterprise Architecture
programs and the role of architects in organizations. 79 respondents filled in the EA
2005 survey.
Where possible an overview will be given of the results of 2004 and 2003 and an
analysis and explanation of exceptions. All geographic areas are represented in the
survey as well as different sizes of organizations. All the source information is

3.1.1 Analysis Comparing the 2005, 2004 and 2003 figures there are some significant changes
between the 2005 and the 2004 / 2003 results.
Managing the IT portfolio is one of the up coming reasons for EA besides
supporting decision making and delivering a roadmap for change. Managing
complexity has slow down as one of the reasons for EA. There is no direct
explanation for the shift between managing IT portfolio and managing complexity.

4.3.1 Analysis The good thing is today that not only very large and multi national organizations
have adopted Enterprise Architecture but also smaller organizations have adopted
Enterprise Architecture as a strategic governance tool. However the enterprise
architecture maturity is at a higher level in larger organizations then in smaller
organizations.

5.8.1 Analysis What we can see is that there is no real demand for certification of Enterprise
Architects. Analyzing the 2005 and 2003 figures is showing that consulting and
service organizations are showing that certification is an issue for them; however
most organizations that are using and implementing Enterprise Architecture are
today not interested in certification for their own people.

6.1.1 Analysis It's amazing to see the enormous growth of the usage of the Zachman’s Enterprise
Architecture Framework compared to the 2004 results. Even so we can see that the
organizations own EA frameworks are declining and that the presence of a well-
known EA framework like the US Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework is
declining dramatically. What you even so can see is that still a lot of organizations
are defining their own EA framework, often based on existing ones. The use of
TOGAF is growing slowly and new is the growth of the Extended Enterprise
Architecture Framework. A lot of other EA frameworks are no longer present in the
2005 survey.

7 Trends in Enterprise Architecture 2005; Observations & Conclusions
7.1 Observations Enterprise Architecture is today widely spread among organizations all over
the world. There is a strong progress in implementing Enterprise Architecture
in countries like Japan, China, India, Iran, Russia and a lot of other countries.
Enterprise Architecture is prominent present in large organizations as well as
in small organizations (100 - 1000 employees).
Enterprise Architecture is implemented in Governmental organizations as well
as in several industries.
E-Government is driving Enterprise Architecture progress and vice versa.
Enterprise Architecture is used as Strategic Governance instrument,
supporting decision making of management.
Hot topics for using Enterprise Architecture are: Delivering road maps for
change; Managing IT Portfolio; Managing Complexity and support of System
Development.
Enterprise Architecture is shifting from the responsibilities of the CIO to the
responsibility of Board members and business managers.
Every organization that is taken Enterprise Architecture serious has its own
'Enterprise' and other type of Architects.
These Enterprise Architects can only be coached and mentored by external
Enterprise Architects with a proven track record, knowledge of different kind
of EA frameworks and a good reputation.
Certification of Enterprise Architects is only an issue for consulting
organizations and less at this time for organizations using Enterprise
Architecture.
More and more organizations are defining their own Enterprise Architecture
Frameworks instead of adopting existing frameworks.
The usage of Enterprise Architecture repository tools is growing; however
most organizations still use Microsoft's office and Visio products for capturing
their Enterprise Architecture results.
The usage of standard business modeling techniques for modeling the results
is broad accepted, where BPML is today the standard.
OMG's Model Driven Architecture and UML are broad accepted for modeling
Information-Systems.
7.2 Conclusions Every organization that wants to manage its complexity is taken Enterprise
Architecture serious. The added value of Enterprise Architecture is NO discussion at
all. The measurement in financial terms of this added value is still hard to do but
some progress is achieved. The acceptance of Enterprise Architecture is growing
fast in small and large organizations, in industry and government. The Enterprise
Architects profession is still evolving and moving from the technology spectrum to
the overall business spectrum. The need for formal EA education and training is
growing, while the need for EA certification is at this time only present at
consultancy firms.
Analyzing the EA 2005 survey results and understanding the drivers and behavior
behind these results can help organizations to define their own Enterprise
Architecture strategies and focus points.
