Article Idea:
Elements of Enterprise IA
suggested by Maggie Hendrie on 2006/10/14
Jesse James Garret’s model of user experience gave IAs a great tool to articulate, design and deliver application-centric user experiences. Now that IA and UE are expanding as Entreprise roles and strategies I propose a similar multi-tiered model for Enterprise User Experience. Many articles have succesfully addressed the issues and culture involoved in working in corporations or designing applications for company wide use; we can now look at reusable patterns, user permissions and functions, composite applications, governance and cross line of business IA strategy.
Want to see this idea turned into a story?

Glad to see someone exploring/pushing the IA issues in terms of enterprise software (the apps that enable a business to function), beyond enterprise websites and CMS systems. However, the article scope seems a bit broad, particularly re: reusable patterns which can be an entire book (see Jenifer Tidwell’s excellent book). Perhaps pick just one or two issues to expand upon for b&a? Or were you meaning to do a summary overview of issues? I think picking one issue and deep diving into specific methods and examples would be most helpful, personally. Good luck!
