The Great Master Lea who by now had been on vacation for 4 days, was sitting on the beach basking in the sun. Earlier this morning a vision of eight years past had come before him to ask a question. This is what it asked: “Oh great master Lea, what is the foundation of Enterprise Architecture?”The great master Lea gazed at the vision then turned his head towards the sky and whispered to himself: “Any architecture is the embodiment of communication.”

- “Whichever route you choose, remember that EA is a path, not a destination. EA has no value unless it delivers real business value as quickly as possible. One of the most important goals of any EA is to bring the business sides and the technology side together so that both are working effectively towards the same goals”. Roger Sessions, ObjectWatch, May 2007
