How mature is your Enterprise Architecture?
Most Enterprise Architecture tools document the business as it was originally designed to work, not how it actually operates today. This exact gap is the reason why 88% of business transformations fail to meet their original goals (Bain, 2024). Every CIO knows the frustration of presenting an architecture diagram to the board, only to have it immediately challenged because it doesn't match reality within the organisation.
Take the EA Maturity Assessment
With the EA Maturity Assessment, you can benchmark your organisation across the five dimensions that separate decision-ready EA practice from pure documentation.

EA has moved from the back office to the board agenda
Enterprise Architecture is no longer a peripheral discipline. Today, it sits at the centre of the questions technology leaders face every day: where do applications create risks? Which processes depend on critical platforms? And how quickly can the organisation adopt AI without creating hidden compliance gaps?
The problem: most EA practices work with outdated maps. Architecture models are updated quarterly, if at all, while the business changes daily. Every transformation decision made within that gap relies on a version of the organisation that no longer exists.
The EA Maturity Assessment shows you exactly where that gap sits in your organisation and what it's costing you.

Five dimensions. One honest picture of your EA maturity
The assessment evaluates your organisation against the capabilities that determine whether Enterprise Architecture truly drives transformation decisions or simply documents them.
Mature EA isn't a documentation win; it’s a measurable one
Organisations that close the gap between architecture and operations see it in their numbers: GBTEC Enterprise Architecture customers report up to 50% shorter planning cycles, six- to seven-figure annual savings through application rationalisation, and 40 to 60% less audit preparation time.
