| Summary: | Thesis (S.M. in Engineering and Management)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2013. === Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. === Includes bibliographical references (pages 56-57). === This paper reports results of a study done to understand the Enterprise Architecture (EA) landscape in Singapore Government Agencies, to gather some best practices in doing EA in these agencies, and to postulate how the Singapore Government might get more value out of EA. Firstly, this paper reviews the EA field on why EA is important and what are some key challenges EA practitioners face. Secondly, this paper reviews and analyzes data from a EA survey of 18 Singapore Government Agencies. The analysis is done by comparing against data from a similar survey collected from over 100 organizations worldwide. In addition, the analysis also draws upon EA research done by MIT's Center for Information System Research. Thirdly, this paper reviews best practices and a case study collected from a subset of the studied Singapore Government Agencies. This paper concludes by rounding up the key findings and hypothesizing that there is a need for stronger inhouse design/architecting capabilities within the Singapore Government. === by Ming Fai Wong. === S.M.in Engineering and Management
