Enterprise Architecture Current State Template

        posted by Anna Mar, Simplicable, January 03, 2012

The following template captures your high level enterprise architecture. A separate document is normally created for each business line and shared service. Such documents are often referred to as Current State Blueprints or Current State Architecture.

The template captures business, data and implementation architecture at three levels: conceptual, logical and physical. This layout allows the document to be filled out in sequence from high level to low level.
