Enterprise Architecture Consulting Services (EACS) is a proven source for research & best practices based EA measurement tools, EA development & implementation programs and strategic advisory services. Enterprise Architecture Consulting Services is working close together with the research people from the Institute For Enterprise Architecture Developments (IFEAD).

In just five years, IFEAD has developed a world wide position in the EA research & development arena with its EA frameworks, methods, opinions and approaches, etc.

EACS has leveraged this understanding of EA organizational and technological behavior to develop their surveys and consulting services to apply to a wide variety of organizations with one single purpose in mind: Enterprise Architecture is a complete expression of the enterprise; a master plan which “acts as a collaboration force” between aspects of business planning such as goals, visions, strategies and governance principles; aspects of business operations such as business terms, organisation structures, processes and data; aspects of automation such as information systems and databases; and the enabling technological infrastructure of the business such as computers, operating systems and networks.

Enterprise Architecture Consulting Services professionals deliver EA advisory services via the web, at client sites and at EA leadership conferences around the world.

Enterprise Portfolio Management (EPM), the ultimate business driver for Enterprise Architecture

IFEAD's trend analysis shows that Enterprise Portfolio Management will be in the future the most important business driver for Enterprise Architecture. For that reason the Institute For Enterprise Architecture Developments will conduct their research activities in 2005 not only at the developments in EA but also in (Extended) Enterprise Portfolio Management (E2PM).

IFEAD will setup research activities to address enterprise portfolio management and how it relates to the overall enterprise life cycle and the enterprise architecture of an organization. The emphasis is on developing and integrating value based management methods, tools, and procedures. While today much of the focus in the public and private sector has been on business investments and IT cost reductions, the enterprise-level portfolio management process has applicability to other types of investment as well, such as human capital and non-IT assets, addressing all the elements of the Extended Enterprise Architecture Framework.


Definition of (Extended) Enterprise Portfolio Management (EPM/E2PM)

(Extended) Enterprise Portfolio Management (EPM/E2PM) is an integrated strategic investment planning, portfolio risk analysis and operating system for scheduling, settlement and risk management that facilitates tight alignment of strategic objectives with operational actions, covering business and technology. EPM works by enabling separate organizational entities to use a common enterprise information management platform, common enterprise analytical methodologies and a common enterprise strategic business framework for optimal business & technology decisions, ensuring successful execution on the corporate enterprise strategy.
