Catch Limited (A NZ based consultancy) are currently performing an Industry wide survey on Enterprise Architecture (not to be mistaken with Application Architecture), which includes questions on tools, frameworks and competencies of organisations throughout New Zealand and the World.

The survey itself can be found here (and has been localized for Chinese, German, Japanese and Spanish speaking participants as well) – and by participating in the survey you will receive a summary report of the survey results, once they’ve collected all the results.

Of particular interest (to me at least) will be seeing what the uptake of Enterprise Architecture Frameworks are around the world, and just what frameworks organisations are selecting, such as TOGAF or Zachman. Additionally I’m keen to see what tools companies are using in both NZ and the world, and what features of those tools are being employed (useful information to those of us who like building niche products or plug-ins for existing modelling tools and frameworks, but aren’t necessarily sure of market size etc.).

The survey takes about 10 or so minutes to complete (I did it this morning) – and would be particularly relevant/interesting to companies that employ an Enterprise Architecture Framework already (or are thinking about employing one) - though there are still plenty of questions relevant to organisations which do not employ a framework at all, such as my own company!
