8. 8 Summing up… Q&A • We are on track for a comprehensive ‘E’AM • EAM is more than ‘IT-Architecture’, more than just SOA • There is no working SOA without EAM! • Our Goal: Closing Gaps between • Political Targets/Administration’s Needs and IT • LOB and Cross-Functional Processes and IT • eGovernment and its back-office • Organisational Borders (also national ones….?) • We do appreciate any comment! We are looking for exchange and co-operation!
