The Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture

The Fluor Daniel Company, a major engineering consulting and construction firm, is applying the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (PERA) to their project work. They have established these methods across a range of industrial areas which the company serves. They have used PERA to present a framework around which much of their current work practices can be organized. These will be discussed in this paper. In addition, application of this new technology upon their existing practices and company culture has engendered the necessity of altering the way in which PERA is presented to company and client personnel and organizations who were not previously familiar with PERA. These changes are also discussed here. Keywords Enterprise, Enterprise Integration, Integration Methodologies, Architecture
