Abstract :
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline designed to cope with the complexity of modern enterprises at the intersection of information technology and business operations. This article demonstrates how EA models can be enriched with the production function concept from microeconomics, enabling new and business relevant kinds of analysis. The approach is demonstrated through examples regarding growth strategies, architectural efficiency with changing relative prices, and strategies for high availability IT services.
