James McGovern

It is much easier to write a book when others believe you can. My deepest thanks to Sherry: my true love and constant source of inspiration. To my parents, James and Mattie Lee, for bringing me up and always supporting me. Universal greetings to my family: Daisy, Annika, Pamela, Demesha, Aunt Jesse, Soogia, Kenrick, Kiley, Nicholas, Ian, Alex, Kelon, and Keifer. To my perfect son, Little James: I am going to get you.

Thanks to all my coworkers at Hartford Financial Services who never stopped being interested in Enterprise Architecture and the progress of this book. Furthermore, I thank the readers of my previous works for their suggestions, praise, letters of admiration, and gratitude.
