>In user centric EA, business drives technology rather than technology being implemented for technology’s sake.
In an EA where business drives technology, the end users benefit in the following ways, they:
- Understand better how technology aligns to the mission
- Are able to access information transparently, where and when they need it
- Operate freely, without stovepipes getting in their way
- Leverage applications that are interoperable, not standalone
- Use simple, standardized technologies
- Spend money more efficiently on the technologies they use
- Are confident that the information they have is accurate and secure
- See mission results from their business and technology investments
