Enterprise Architecture is defined by Gartner as the process of translating business vision and strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and improving the key requirements, principles and models that describe the enterprise's future state and enable its evolution.  This is a verbose way of saying EA manages complexity and delivers business value.
