This paper was completed as part of the final research component in the University of Oregon Applied Information Management Master's Degree Program [see htpp://aim.uoregon.edu].Waddington (2004) and Bloomberg (2005) believe that organizational characteristics should help determine the choice of an enterprise architecture model. This paper examines key existing models and aligns these with variations in organizational maturity level, including business process definition, system development life cycle and enterprise data warehouse (Phillips, 2004).
