Enterprise Architecture
Overview
The Office of Enterprise Architecture for the State of North Carolina provides leadership for the state's information technology programs and works collaboratively with other information technology leaders throughout state government to partner IT with the state's business objectives. Therefore, the Office acts as a strategic planner and architect for the state's IT programs and as a leader in formulating and advancing a vision for those programs.
There is a growing demand for the State of North Carolina to conduct its business differently. North Carolina has a significant challenge to redesign its business approaches and processes. Its greatest challenge is to implement an IT environment that supports a new business model—one that builds an IT infrastructure that connects agencies to each other and their customers, and one that provides appropriate access to information from any place, at any time. This new business model includes the following:
- Coordinated service delivery across agencies
- Citizen-centric, one-stop shopping
- More planned and coordinated partnerships with external organizations
- Streamlined administrative business processes
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a process that can be used to facilitate these necessary changes within the state. It establishes the statewide roadmap to achieve the business mission and goals by improving the performance of its core business processes within an efficient information technology environment.
