Modern Enterprise Architecture
Shared standards. Collective outcomes
TheModernEA is a guild of architects delivering speed with control
Legacy EA vs Modern EA
Enterprise architecture has been trapped in outdated paradigms—slow documentation cycles, rigid governance, and disconnected from business velocity. Organisations struggle with fragmented systems that resist digital transformation.
Legacy EA
Modern EA
Modern EA Operating System
