Enterprise Architecture and the Perspective of another enterprise...
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with an architect who works for the Aetna regarding a case study on my employer and our EA practices. The intriguing comment he made was that he seemed excited to have talked with another VP in IT as if this is a rare event in their shop.
