</span></font>in September issue of <i><span style='font-style:italic'>CIO </span></i>by<i><span
style='font-style:italic'> </span></i>Kim Nash: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“…
a disciplined enterprise architecture can help CIOs manage the ambiguity that cloud
and mobile bring, says Leon Kappelman, a professor of information systems at
the University of North Texas and founding chair of the Society for Information
Management’s enterprise architecture group. Creating an enterprise
architecture means not only laying out which technologies a company will use
but also the relationships and intersections between the business processes
they support. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>But most
companies <a
href="http://www.cio.com/article/472429/The_Case_for_Enterprise_Architects">do
only half the job</a>, Kappelman says. Often, they stop at the technology map
because it is simpler to figure out than how business processes relate to each
other. …<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Kappelman
adds, … “Even if we perfect the technology architecture and
engineer our systems into reusable, interoperable, and therefore flexible
components, we cannot stay aligned unless we can also maintain our knowledge of
the business and its processes, objectives, rules and timing.” … <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Kappelman,
the IT professor, expects a greater evolution. The big thoughts about the
creative use of technology in a business context won’t stay confined to
IT or enterprise architecture, he says. He likens the change to the way “<a
href="http://www.accel-team.com/scientific/scientific_02.html">scientific
management</a>” emerged in the late 1800s. Then, efficiency experts were
charged with making shop floors run better. Soon, precepts developed by those
scientists proliferated, influencing the work habits of all employees,
Kappelman says. Everyone strove for efficiency. Likewise, he predicts,
“what we now call enterprise architecture will become part of how
everyone functions.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
