I'm in Paris, France this week attending The Open Group's Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conference. Besides systems and software architecture, I've taken an interest in Enterprise architecture as of late as a means to better align IT with the business interests of my organization.

Any readers out there working on Enterprise Architecture using a formal, established framework such as TOGAF or Zachman? If so, what have your experiences been?
