Enterprise Architecture using “GARTNER”

Gartner Methodology can be described as a set of recommendations for creating an enterprise architecture. The 2002 Gartner model is designed in four related, interdependent, and increasingly complex levels:

• Business Relationship Grid;

• Business processes and business process styles;

• Templates;

• Technological building blocks (bricks).

Essentially the Gartner methodology is neither a methodology, such as a structured Zachman model, nor a process like TOGAF or FEA. Gartner is a set of practical recommendations. This methodology is a collection of tips for building enterprise architecture from one of the world’s most famous consulting IT companies. This framework is a three-dimensional cube consisting of following levels:

• Horizontal layers;

• Vertical domains;

• Vertical elements of technical architecture.
