I’ve been actively pursuing what I’d like to see in an offering related to the practice of enterprise architecture. Below is a fictive offering made to the community and all other stakeholders in EA, about a great service that would cater to most of the common needs.
- What if I exposed a service to you that gave you the ability to maintain all of your EA artifacts on any meta model you like
- What if the service could visualize all the relations and even some things you haven’t thought of yet
- What if this service came with ready made samples and explanations for most concepts in EA space
- What if the service I exposed was a true in the cloud application
- What if this service was localized for your usage
- What if this service could build upon your present material by importing, converting and exporting
- What if the service I exposed was more secure to use than your present service
- What if you and your users could have a say in how the user experience of this service would feel like
- What if this service had all the features of social computing and they where built in from start
- What if this service had awesome search built in to it
- What if this service had an open API attached to it
- What if the service I exposed guaranteed a drop in EA tools licensing cost with more than 90%
- What if this service was globally available
- What if the support for this service was better than what you get at your mommas house
- What if I could guarantee delivery of all this by 2009-12-31
Would you buy in to it?
