Enterprise Architecture (EA) Maturity refers to the measure of how well a company’s EA practices, processes, and artifacts are defined, managed, and utilised to support its business strategy and objectives. The aim as maturity increases, is to move from ad-hoc and reactive approaches to more systematic, planned, proactive and integrated way. Maturity models exist to help assess current EA maturity level and plan for improvement. The advantages as EA matures includes closer alignment between Business and IT, increased innovation, reduced complexity of IT and business landscape, and cost optimisation. Maturity assessment must be conducted with precision and objectivity. Getting it right will increase stakeholder confidence, improve architectural governance, and ensure sustainable progress.
