Why Firms Need to Bring in Enterprise Architecture and How it ould be Introduced?

Enterprise Architecture의 필요성 및 추진방안

Abstract

Many firms have had a passion for IT investment for years. Despite such a continuing investment in IT, the application of newer technologies to business work doesn't guarantee a great success. Some IT projects were doomed to failure or ineffectiveness. What could we do to lead IT project to the territory of effectiveness? One plausible and inevitable avenue is enterprise architecture (EA), which requires one to first come up with a simplified view of the complex entity to be designed and then proceed to design and develop it as directed by the architecture. Though there have been more materials on such EA work and real cases, there still exist a doubt about why EA is needed and how a firm can introduce it. This article first presents a structured understanding about EA and then describes the necessity, and the introducing ways of EA.

오늘날의 기업은 정보화 투자에 매우 열중하고 있다. 이러한 지속적인 투자에도 불구하고 정보화의 투자효과는 매우 미미한 것으로 받아들여지고 있다. 이 정보화 투자효과의 미 현실화 현상은 정보화에 대한 새로운 접근을 요구하고 있다. 새롭게 시도되는 다양한 접근 중에서 오늘날 가장 관심을 많이 끌고 있는 것이 바로 아키텍처 개념의 도입이다. 최근 정보시스템 분야에서도 이 아키텍처 개념을 이용한 다양한 개념과 사례가 소개되고 있다. 그러나 아직 이와 관련된 체계적 틀이 마련되어 있지 않은 상태이므로 여러 가지의 개념적 혼돈이 존재할 뿐만 아니라 이의 효과적 추진 방안에 대한 의문이 일고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처의 개념을 체계적으로 정의하고, 이의 도입 필요성 및 효과적 도입 방안을 제시한다.
