Abstract
The paper aims to describe findings based on a research
study on current Enterprise Information Architecture
(EIA) implementation in Malaysia. Ten enterprises from
public and private sectors were chosen for case study
analysis. The Zachman Framework was chosen as a guideline to assess the current practice of EIA in five of these enterprises. The study found that certain aspects
of the framework were nor addressed at all, whilst other
aspects that were addressed vary in terms of the different
perspectives. The paper highlights gaps in the current
practice and provides recommendations and suggestions
for enterprises to consciously embark on the EIA paradigm in order to better align the whole enterprise to
the goals of the enferprise
