Abstract
This paper introduces different stakeholders’ views on enterprise architecture development within the Finnish government. The data is gathered from 21 interviews accomplished during spring 2007 among participants of the Interoperability Programme. The interviewees represent different sectors and levels of the Finnish government and IT companies. On the basis of a qualitative data analysis we discuss the notions that different actors connect to EA work. The key conclusions are that the ongoing EA work is seen as technically oriented and more emphasis should be put to activities and contents. On the basis of the data, it seems easier to develop government EA and interoperability on the level of state administration and ministries than in the agency level.
