LOrg structure, functions and technology do not align to meet the business goals
After the restructuring either the business processes do not work or technology fail to perform as expected
Accurate and complete operational/customer data is never available in timely fashion
Companies procure/develop applications that do not integrate
Redundant and outdated technology leads to higher operational costs and poor business performance

Enterprise Architecture Helps
Enterprise Architecture is the description of the current and/or future structure and behavior of an organization's processes, information systems, personnel and organizational sub-units, aligned with the organization's core goals and strategic direction.
The primary purpose of creating an Enterprise Architecture is to ensure that business strategy and IT investments are aligned. As such, enterprise architecture allows traceability from the business strategy down to the underlying technology.
Enterprise Architecture relates more broadly to the practice of business optimization in that it addresses business architecture, performance management, organizational structure and process architecture as well.

Objectives : What to do, and how to do it?
Business Processes : support the strategy,
Operational organization
The Applications support the Business,
implement the business functions in the IT systems
The Information is key for the organization :
It is the fuel that drives the architecture
Infrastructure that supports the IS:
-Technical components: servers, networks, etc.
-Technology: platforms, etc.
