Research conducted for the ArchitectureGOV program within the GTRA 2008 Symposium showed that executives had a strong interest in learning about the strategic application of EA to meet various organizational needs. Several key topics which came-up consistently included aligning EA with the agency’s Capital Planning and Investment Controls (CPIC) process, using EA in an agency’s IT modernization efforts, the connection between EA and security, successfully integrating Web 2.0 into an agency and using EA and Governance to better inform decision makers in an agency.
