The Center for the Advancement of the Enterprise Architecture Profession
Early in 2009, a group of Enterprise Architecture thought leaders gathered together to begin a focused advocacy program for our profession. They created the Center for the Advancement of the Enterprise Architecture Profession (CAEAP).
Vision:CAEAP seeks to be the organization responsible for the Enterprise Architecture Profession. In this capacity, CAEAP acts as the primary advocate for the Profession, addressing the public at large, enterprises the Profession serves, and the Profession itself, to which Enterprise Architects belong through their practice.
Mission:
CAEAP promotes the professional status of Enterprise Architects and works to ensure the legitimacy of the Profession by distinguishing it from other professions and non-professionals (consultants, employees, and supporting roles). CAEAP is the public face of the Profession and is further charged with maintaining its consistent view towards the public, enterprises, and its professional members. The aim is:
- Sustainability of the profession
- Create brand recognition for the profession
- Deliver consistency through accreditation
- Support professional autonomy
- AND provide answers for the public . . .
- Clarify in the public eye as to what a professional EA contributes
- Ensure the public’s trust in EA as a profession
- Assure the public they’re dealing with a competent EA professional
