"Enterprise architecture is a comprehensive framework used to manage and align an organization's Information Technology (IT) assets, people, operations, and projects with its operational characteristics. In other words, the enterprise architecture defines how information and technology will support the business operations and provide benefit for the business.
It illustrates the organization’s core mission, each component critical to performing that mission, and how each of these components is interrelated. These components include:
(1) Guiding principles,
(2) Organization structure,
(3) Business processes,
(4) People or stakeholders,
(5) Applications, data, and infrastructure,
(6) Technologies upon which networks, applications and systems are built.
Guiding principles, organization structure, business processes, and people don’t sound very technical. That’s because enterprise architecture is about more than technology. It is about the entire organization (or enterprise) and identifying all of the bits and pieces that make the organization work." [enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/ Pages/ what.aspx]

This enterprise architecture diagram sample was drawn on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "Enterprise Architecture" from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website.
"The USDA's Enterprise Architecture program strategically partners with all agencies to provide value to USDA's mission areas, business processes, and Information Technology (IT) capabilities.
Introduction.
The USDA Enterprise Architecture (EA) helps make sure information technology investments align with the mission and goals of the Department. It defines how information and technology should support USDA’s strategic goals and benefit the business.
Purpose.
The intent of the USDA Enterprise Architecture is to help make the information technology (IT) expenditures more effectively serve the mission and goals of the organization. Enterprise architecture defines how information and technology support USDA’s strategic planning to benefit our business. There are many ways to organize the information and diagrams that make up the architecture."

An enterprise architecture’s landscape is usually divided into various domains based on the attributes of the environment and the logical grouping based on Industry EA Frameworks.
Enterprise Architecture consists of 5 domains: Business, Application, Information, and Technical (Infrastructure and Telecom).
The example "Enterprise architecture domains" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Enterprise Architecture Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This library of vector stencils "Enterprise architecture diagrams" contains 16 shapes for visualizing the enterprise architecture (EA) models using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Enterprise architecture (EA) is "a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy. Enterprise Architecture applies architecture principles and practices to guide organizations through the business, information, process, and technology changes necessary to execute their strategies. These practices utilize the various aspects of an enterprise to identify, motivate, and achieve these changes."
Practitioners of EA call themselves enterprise architects. An enterprise architect is a person responsible for performing this complex analysis of business structure and processes and is often called upon to draw conclusions from the information collected. By producing this understanding, architects are attempting to address the goals of Enterprise Architecture: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Agility, and Durability." [Enterprise architecture. Wikipedia]

"In management information systems, a dashboard is "an easy to read, often single page, real-time user interface, showing a graphical presentation of the current status (snapshot) and historical trends of an organization’s key performance indicators to enable instantaneous and informed decisions to be made at a glance."
For example, a manufacturing dashboard may show key performance indicators related to productivity such as number of parts manufactured, or number of failed quality inspections per hour. Similarly, a human resources dashboard may show KPIs related to staff recruitment, retention and composition, for example number of open positions, or average days or cost per recruitment.
Types of dashboards.

Digital dashboards may be laid out to track the flows inherent in the business processes that they monitor. Graphically, users may see the high-level processes and then drill down into low level data. This level of detail is often buried deep within the corporate enterprise and otherwise unavailable to the senior executives.
Three main types of digital dashboard dominate the market today: stand alone software applications, web-browser based applications, and desktop applications also known as desktop widgets. The last are driven by a widget engine.
Specialized dashboards may track all corporate functions. Examples include human resources, recruiting, sales, operations, security, information technology, project management, customer relationship management and many more departmental dashboards.
Digital dashboard projects involve business units as the driver and the information technology department as the enabler. The success of digital dashboard projects often depends on the metrics that were chosen for monitoring. Key performance indicators, balanced scorecards, and sales performance figures are some of the content appropriate on business dashboards." [Dashboard (management information systems). Wikipedia]

"A business, also known as an enterprise, or a firm, is an entity involved in the provision of goods and/ or services to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers in exchange for other goods, services, or money. Businesses may also be social non-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises targeted for specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple individuals may be formed as an incorporated company or jointly organised as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities." [Business. Wikipedia]

This enterprise architecture diagram example was drawn on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "ISE Enterprise Architecture Framework 2007" from the Semantic Community website. "The ISE Enterprise Architecture Framework.
As Figure ... depicts, the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Reference Models (RMs) provide the basis for the ISE EAF. All elements of the ISE EAF are mapped back to elements of the FEA RMs with the FEA management processes applied by the OMB leveraged in support of implementing the ISE. The four ISE EAF partitions are mapped to the five FEA RMs to enable tracking the development of the ISE EAF across agencies using standardized OMB policies and processes that structure EA development and budgeting processes. The ISE EAF also provides an overarching mapping of the ISE into not only Federal civil systems, but also national security systems. ...
Two primary views are used to describe the ISE EAF: 1) the Architect’s View and 2) the Implementer’s View. While the term “view” is typically used to refer to different aspects of an architecture, the OMB suggested the term “partition” rather than the more common terms “architecture” or “view” to differentiate the ISE approach as a framework from the approach typically used in departmental and agency EAs. The Architect’s View comprises four partitions:
1) Business,
2) Data,
3) Application and Service, and
4) Technical.
The Architect’s View is used to provide structural alignment of the ISE architectural components into the FEA structure to ensure strategies, business processes, investments, data, systems, and technologies within the ISE are integrated and compatible with those across the Federal government."

"An enterprise private network is a computer network built by a business to interconnect its various company sites (such as production sites, offices and shops) in order to share computer resources." [Enterprise private network. Wikipedia]
"Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a dialed connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) via telephone lines. The user's computer or router uses an attached modem to encode and decode Internet Protocol packets and control information into and from analogue audio frequency signals, respectively. Dial-up internet is sometimes used where Broadband internet access is not available; primarily in rural or remote areas." [Dial-up Internet access. Wikipedia]
