How to Create an Enterprise Architecture Diagram

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a conceptual plan that defines the structure and operation of an organization. The aim of enterprise architecture is to determine how an organization can effectively achieve its current and future objectives. The Enterprise Architecture often uses visual models to support the decision-making process. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to design Enterprise Architecture diagram using the Enterprise Architecture Diagrams solution.

1. An EA model is made up of several models. Each model describes in more detail the certain enterprise architecture framework. EA diagram can be started from the Enterprise Architecture Diagram template. The template contains a work-space and a corresponding library.




2. Add boxes that represent activities into the Business Intent, Business Design and Influence sectors.

3. Add text to boxes.

4. The Chain Connectors tool allow you to easily combine multiple models and view the connections between them.

5. Use the Line, Fill, Shadow and Text tools provided in the Format panel to complete the diagram elements.

Result: An enterprise architecture diagram helps to analyze and document an organization and its business functions, along with the applications and systems on which they are implemented.
