Enterprise Architecture provides a complete picture of the application estate, including the underlying technology relationships.
Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management) Home page has been deprecated. However, if you are an existing user of Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management), you can still view the legacy Home page. If you are a new activation user, the legacy Home page is not available.
You can leverage the same features provided by the Application Portfolio Management Home page by using the Enterprise Architecture Workspace Home page. To learn more about Enterprise Architecture Workspace, see Enterprise Architecture Workspace.
Enterprise Architecture starts by building a comprehensive inventory of your business applications, providing enterprise architects, and application owners with four lenses by which to analyse the portfolio: Business Capability Planning, Application Migration & Rationalization, Technology Risk Management, and Information Usage.
With this level of visibility, architects can easily identify transformational opportunities, whether that's reducing the number of on-premise or duplicate apps, reducing spend on non-critical applications, or addressing gaps in the business capability model.
Enterprise Architecture provides both the technology and work perspective that helps architects to easily assess the impact of any changes on the architectural state. Enterprise Architecture also ensures what is being planned is aligned with the technology and the strategic goals of the organization.
