Percentage of process architecture integrated with the organization's data architecture

This measure calculates the percentage integration of process architecture with data architecture. Process architecture reflects the design and structure of general process systems, concerned with inputs, outputs, and the energy to go from one to the other. Among the fields to which it can apply are computers (software, hardware, networks, etc.) and business activities (enterprise architecture, policy and procedures, logistics, project management, etc.). In IT, data architecture consists of models, policies, and rules/standards that govern data collection, storage, arrangement, integration, and use in data systems and organizations. This Supplemental Information measure is intended to help companies evaluate additional variables related to the process group "Manage information".
