Info-Tech Research Group reports that many organizations do not have a clear definition of what “success” means for the enterprise architect (EA) role, despite changing technology and business priorities. In the guidance shared through a PR Newswire release, the group says that when architects are developed against vague or generic expectations, the enterprise architecture function struggles to demonstrate consistent value. The release emphasizes that clearer role definitions can help CIOs and organizations better align enterprise architecture activities with business outcomes and current priorities. It also suggests that strengthening the EA function requires setting specific expectations for responsibilities, performance, and measurable impact. The overall message is that improving how the EA role is described and managed can support greater relevance and effectiveness, helping organizations realize more tangible benefits from enterprise architecture rather than treating it as a one-size-fits-all framework. The article does not provide specific company results or metrics; it focuses on the general need for role clarity and alignment to improve perceived and actual EA value.
