Let me start by explaining my use of the word “coalition” and set the context for using it with respect to enterprise architecture (EA) and Internet of Things (IoT) alliance or synergy. According to Merriam-Webster, a coalition is “a body formed by the coalescing of originally distinct elements.” While EA and IoT are distinct and unsimilar disciplines, my interest is the inherent synergy between them. In my opinion, this originates from the fact that EA and IoT each supports digital strategies for disruptive business operations.
