Recently a new IT planning effort, Enterprise Architecture (EA), is being carried out by a number of organizations. According to many previous studies, this EA effort intrinsically differs from information systems planning (ISP). In practice, however, it is often performed just like ISP, pursuing identical objectives with just a few more modeling methods. It might lead to a misunderstanding that EA is no different from ISP. In an effort to clarify the difference, we investigate how these two planning efforts differ one from another in richness of architectural description. 19 RFP(request for proposal)s were empirically analyzed to see the difference between EA and ISP in terms of the richness of architectural description.
