The Application of Enterprise Architecture at Charles Sturt University

The EA experience for CSU has been focused on building the framework that describes the enterprise architecture for CSU and Higher Education. This has been critical to building the base of knowledge on which CSU can now draw to understand itself as a complex enterprise, identify future opportunities for redesign of the business architecture, inform critical decision making and understand the impact of change. 2008 has seen CSU reach a stage where it can now extend the application of Enterprise Architecture to: Support effective decision making in initiatives portfolio management and ICT investment at the enterprise level. The effective use of EA in project management, the vehicle for change. The definition of an applications portfolio that will support the business architecture and contribute to the enterprise architecture roadmap. The session will provide case study examples on the use of enterprise architecture principles to deliver strategic value through enterprise change management processes in the University context and relate some of the successes and challenges experienced by the CSU Enterprise Architecture team.
