“The discipline of Enterprise Architecture is comprised of synthesis, analysis, and strategy. It involves taking the best thinking that the industry has, marrying it with a mercurial technology landscape, and overlaying an ephemeral business strategy in order to generate clarity of direction that paves the way to execution. Suresh is able to take the reader on the journey from EA framework selection through strategic planning by integrating current EA thinking with years of practical experience. This book is a great reference for executives trying to quantify the value of EA, new EA practitioners seeking to understand the history of the field, or seasoned EA veterans seeking a new perspective.”

“This is a very valuable book that I wish I had in my hands years ago when I was an aspiring young architect, trying to find my place in the enterprise and do my job the best way possible. It would have saved me lots of headaches, confusion, and futile fights in my career. This book raises awareness of Enterprise Architecture among professionals in the industry, aligns their expectations, and puts it in a proper perspective. Just like a linguist, the author has found the most versatile language to build a common ground for that understanding and convey the principles and basics of Enterprise Architecture in a way fathomable by every actor in the enterprise. Through a series of real-life examples and approaches to structuring and presenting complex information in a concise manner, the author proves Enterprise Architecture is vital to achieving enterprise flexibility, sustainability, and in many cases survival. I recommend this book to all C-level professionals who need to know what a powerful tool Enterprise Architecture is, to all middle managers who wish to achieve better enterprise efficiency, and, of course, to all aspiring young architects trying to find their place in the enterprise and do their job the best way possible.”
