My Technical Neighbourhood

This is an ocean of knowledge, of course an abstracted version here from my site, which i swam through during my projects and research related thesis over the last few years. Well this is a collection of sites i have refered to for further R&D. Although this is not a comprehensive list, it does contain useful info right from code optimization to network routing techniques, from programming standards to FAQs.

Note: It's quite possible that some of the links may have expired.

Enterprise Architecture - Catalyst for Business Transformation

Aligning IT and Business is the Key function of EA, thus becoming a corporate responsbility. Both Business unit and IT managers need to appreciate the value of EA as an integrative tool, although overstating the importance may turn out to be less frutiful.
