It was highly prized by a co-worker.
Therefore, I assume that it's just not my type of reading:
barely dragged myself to the midstream and drowned there.

Try to sample it first.
Hope that helps.

The book is really great and deserves 5 stars.

I am an Application Architect working for one of the biggest financial companies in the world and we are using this book as a starting point for improving our Enterprise Architecture.

I whish this book was thicker or maybe had a second volume.

Well, I had some problem with the shipping. The first book was lost. But Amazon was able to send me rapidly a new one. It's arrived perfectly on time, sane and safe. It's a very good book with contents and suggestions


5 out of 5 stars Excellent review of important new area of business strategy   January 18, 2008
J. P. Farrell (Oak Park, IL USA)
"The IT strategists at MIT CISR present an exceptionally clear and well constructed book, Enterprise Architecture as Strategy: Creating a Foundation for Business Execution. It extends Jeanne Ross' earlier work in IT Governance by bringing the emerging concepts of Enterprise Architecture out of the rarefied domain of IT theory into the realm of general business strategy."
