Enterprise Architecture will Meet its Development Opportunity in the Information Age and Play an Increasingly Important Role in IT Management

Enterprise Architecture, short for EA. It refers to the general solution to systematic and universal problems in enterprise information management system. To be more precise, it is the practice of understanding, analyzing, designing, building, integrating, extending, operating and managing information systems to successfully execute business strategies based on a business-oriented and driven architecture. The key to the integration of complex systems is architecture (or system)-based integration rather than component (or component)-based integration. Effective enterprise architecture plays a decisive role in the survival and success of enterprises and is an indispensable means for enterprises to obtain competitive advantages through IT. 

In the mid-1980s, John Zachman, then an IBM employee, first proposed the concept of Information System Architecture Framework, analyzing enterprises from six perspectives, including information, process, network, people, time, and fundamentals, and also provided six models corresponding to each of these perspectives, including semantic, conceptual, logical, physical, component, and functional models.  Zachman is recognized as a pioneer in the field of enterprise architecture for his pioneering work. But at the time, Zachman was not explicitly using the concept of Enterprise Architecture.

Since the Zachman architecture framework was introduced, starting with the NIST framework released by the National Institute of Technical Standards in 1989, many enterprise architecture frameworks have emerged within the federal government, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Treasury . Then, in September 1999, the FEDERAL CIO Council published the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), which is intended to provide federal agencies with a common structure for architecture to facilitate coordination of common business processes, technology introduction, information flow, and system investment among these federal agencies. 

After the enterprise architecture framework originated from the United States in the 1990s, it has been derived from various enterprise architecture frameworks, such as Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), Zachman Architecture Framework, Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) and Gartner Framework. Among them, TOGAF describes in detail how to define business architecture, data architecture, application architecture, and technology architecture, and is a guide to best practices for IT strategic planning. Therefore, TOGAF is the most widely-used operating model among several frameworks. Its share in the enterprise architecture industry in the Asia-Pacific region has exceeded 50%, accounting for 54.46% in 2020. The Zachman framework and FEAF ranked second and third with 18.24% and 13.15% market share, respectively. 

Asia-Pacific Enterprise Architecture Market Status Analysis and Forecast

Globally, the enterprise architecture industry is not highly-concentrated, with the top 3 companies collectively accounting for less than 25% of the market. The top three companies are Mega from France and Software AG and SAP from Germany. In 2020, their market share was 11.26%, 5.68% and 5.54%, respectively. Founded in 1991, Mega is a global software company that has been the recognized market leader for more than a decade. It uses technology to help partner companies improve management and accelerate transformation, which helps companies better analyze how they operate and make the right decisions. The HOPEX platform in Mega connects business, IT, data and risk perspectives in one place and integrates the entire corporate ecosystem across multiple domains.  

China is the largest revenue market for the Asia-Pacific enterprise architecture industry.  In 2020, the market revenue of China in this industry was $51.56 million, accounting for 29.84% market share; Australia ranked second in the Asia-Pacific region with 17.16% market share, while Japan ranked third with 17.15%, just 0.01% behind Australia.

The Asia Pacific enterprise architecture industry was valued at $76.62 million in 2015 and has grown steadily since then, according to research data. In 2019, the industry market value grew to $147.42 million.  Moreover, in 2020, while most industries were slowed or stalled by the pandemic, the sector was barely affected. In contrast, the total market value of the industry in 2020 increased by 17.20% from 2019 to $172.77 million. Based on this data, we run a series of functions and derive the data for the next five years using a scientific model. Finally, we predict that the total market value of the enterprise architecture industry in the Asia-Pacific region will reach $419.22 million by 2025. 

Enterprise Architecture will Meet its Development Opportunity in the Information Age and Play an Increasingly Important Role in IT Management 

In recent years, with the deepening of enterprise informatization, how to establish an effective IT and business integration mechanism, that is, through better IT operation, generate corresponding business value and improve core competitiveness, has become an urgent problem to be solved by enterprises.  In the information age, information system plays a vital role in enterprises. In addition, the development of internal operations and external services in most companies has also shifted from purely manual operations to network and information systems, thus improving productivity and accelerating business development. As a result, enterprise architecture (EA), which integrates strategic development, business, and IT systems, has an opportunity to play an increasingly important role in IT management. The more mature enterprise informatization construction is, the more attention is paid to enterprise architecture, especially in the Internet industry. 

However, at present, many small and medium-sized enterprises are still learning and exploring the understanding and specific practice of EA, and only a few companies fully adopt the methods and ideas of enterprise architecture design for IT system planning, implementation and management. Under the development trend of enterprise scale and informatization, more and more enterprises blindly invest in informatization construction, and the internal information systems of enterprises are multiple and complex, and the system communication between departments is not smooth, resulting in problems such as information islands and repeated investment.  Moreover, the internal business processes of the company are also complicated and inefficient, lacking effective business objectives, and unable to quickly respond to market changes, leading to the decline of the company\'s market share, loss of market competitiveness, and even the eventual elimination.
