Center for the Advancement of the Enterprise Architecture Profession

CAEAP is the leading advocacy group for the enterprise architecture profession, working on behalf of the many professionals on a global scale.

Our goal is to guide the industry to a self-governed status of maturity by 2015 - moving from organized, to qualified, to self-governed which includes a measured level of maturity in three very distinct broad areas:

• Standards of practice
• Professional learning
• Industry governance

GOALS:
• Clarify in the public eye as to what a professional Enterprise Architect contributes
• Ensure the public’s trust in EA as a profession
• Assure the public they’re dealing with competent EA professionals
• Sustainability of the profession
• Brand recognition for the profession
• Support professional autonomy

Via Nova Architectura website

The field of architecture is alive and kicking. New regulations, globalization and the extended enterprise make the need for architectural thinking and acting even more evident than it already was. With this increasing need for architecture the need for the exchange of ideas, best practices, research and methods among architects is growing too.

A number of thought leaders in the area of business- and IT architectures have recognized this. Together, they have decided to set up a new digital magazine on architecture: Via Nova Architectura. Although started as an initiative within the Netherlands, the magazine should reach all those interested in the area of architecture, where-ever they live. Via Nova Architectura aims to provide an accessible platform for the architecture community. It is meant to be the primary source of information for architects in the field.
