Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology
open-in-new
<p>Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) is a generalised <a href="/facts/Enterprise_architecture_framework/kq1FCjjT">enterprise architecture framework</a> for <a href="/facts/Enterprise_integration/0DnXY9Qm">enterprise integration</a> and <a href="/facts/Business_process_engineering/sJlxUDBI">business process engineering</a>. It identifies the set of components recommended for use in <a href="/facts/Enterprise_engineering/udwgrM88">enterprise engineering</a>. </p><p>This framework was developed in the 1990s by a joint task force of both the <a href="/facts/International_Federation_of_Automatic_Control/hMeUbJL9">International Federation of Automatic Control</a> (IFAC) and the <a href="/facts/International_Federation_of_Information_Processing/RgTMBVN9">International Federation of Information Processing</a> (IFIP) on <a href="/facts/Enterprise_architecture/7UNSuE0l">enterprise architectures</a> for enterprise integration. The development started with the evaluation of then-existing frameworks for <a href="/facts/Enterprise_application_integration/EaXMz4mI">enterprise application integration</a>, which was developed into an overall definition of a so-called "generalised architecture". </p>
