The proliferation of IT and its consequent dispersion is an enterprise reality, however, most organizations do not have adequate tools and/or methodologies that enable the management and coordination of their Information Systems. The Zachman Framework provides a structured way for any organization to acquire the necessary knowledge about itself with respect to the Enterprise Architecture. Zachman proposes a logical structure for classifying and organizing the descriptive representations of an enterprise, in different dimensions, and each dimension can be perceived in different perspectives.In this paper, we propose a method for achieving an Enterprise Architecture Framework, based on the Zachman Framework Business and IS perspectives, that defines the several artifacts for each cell, and a method which defines the sequence of filling up each cell in a top-down and incremental approach. We also present a tool developed for the purpose of supporting the Zachman Framework concepts. The tool: (i) behaves as an information repository for the framework's concepts; (ii) produces the proposed artifacts that represent each cell contents, (iii) allows multi-dimensional analysis among cell's elements, which is concerned with perspectives (rows) and/or dimensions (columns) dependency; and (iv) finally, evaluate the integrity, dependency and, business and information systems alignment level, through the answers defined for each framework dimension.
