Developing and implementing IT Management and Governance processes in an organization is not rocket science. But it’s hard work. It’s a myriad of details and it requires a dedicated team. Building this team, guiding the team through the details of the process, and doing the hard work alongside them is what EAI’s facilitation is about.

Welcome to EAI

EAI is a premier, "boutique", management consulting firm specialized in implementing Information Management (IM) processes. The sound Information Management requires the redesign of processes prior to their automation, as well as the implementation of procedures to decide and manage investments in Information Technology. Indeed, IT projects should compete for capital and resources to ensure that the agency achieves the highest return. However, business processes also require resources and in reality they compete for the same resources.

EAI therefore, facilitates the implementation of IT Management and Governance processes such that the resource allocation process for the IT Capital Investment Process is integral to the resource allocation for Business Process Redesign Initiatives. The basis of all investments is a set of architectures, or blueprints, that encompass all areas of information management: business re-engineering, automation acquisition, and infrastructure deployment. EAI facilitates a Client Team in developing their own Blueprints and Information Management plans.

EAI provides very experienced consultants.  The late Dr. Steven Spewak literally wrote the book on EAP. His partners carry on the evolution in Enterprise-wide architecture based capital IT planning that he started. They are capable of facilitating and leading your projects in which your own subject matter experts, from the business community, develop a clear, concise, and compelling picture of the technology world – today’s and tomorrow’s.

But, most importantly, EAI’s partner-level principal consultants have years of experience in dealing with senior executives, and therefore are well versed in the diplomacy required for consensus building among managers.



Steven H. Spewak, an author, consultant and lecturer on enterprise architectures who was very familiar in government IT circles, died recently in Alexandria, Va. He was 53.

Spewak ran a management consultant practice with offices in Princeton, N.J., and Washington. He worked with government agencies, and national and international organizations, and was a frequent lecturer. He also co-wrote several text books on EA.

“He impressed and influenced a lot of people,” said Michael Tiemann, EA principal at AT&T Government Solutions and a former architect in the Energy Department who has worked frequently with Spewak. “There literally isn’t an EA architect in the government today who does not know who Spewak is,” Tiemann said.
