Enterprise Architecture (EA) Principles are general rules and guidelines, that inform and support the way in which Information Technology (IT) sets about fulfilling its mission. NYU principles are high-level elements, subsequent statements, and definitions following NYU goals that assist in decision-making and activities. The principles listed are foundational for both business and IT architectures, standards, and policy development.
These principles are general rules and guidelines that may be subject to adjustments as NYU refocuses its objectives and mission. However, they are intended to be enduring and not prone to frequent amendments.
Established across Enterprise Architecture domains, the NYU EA Principles are as follows:
- Shared
