Enterprise Architecture at Digital Leaders

As your company grows and adapts to digital evolution, it is essential to avoid the pitfalls of digitalization. The global sprint towards digital transformation has encouraged companies to simultaneously implement multiple applications, complicating the technology landscape. This eventually hinders the transformation process.

A recent survey by McKinsey and Henley Business School highlights how enterprise architects at digital leaders facilitate digital transformations. The enterprise architects follow a set of best practices to ensure collaborative implementation aligned with company strategy and vision.

Some of these best practices are:

1. Engaging top executives in key decisions
2. Emphasis on strategic planning
3. Focus on business outcomes
4. Use of capabilities to connect business and IT
5. Development and retention of high caliber talent

How Enterprise Architecture Shapes your Business
Enterprise architecture brings stability and preparedness to organizations, transforming parallel operations in uncoordinated silos into integrated enterprise ecosystems. The benefits of having an enterprise architecture include:

1. EA organizational benefits – alignment of processes and company silos creates a synchronized ecosystem.
2. EA business-model benefits – a strong enterprise architecture promotes agility, timeliness of products and services, growth of revenue, and reduction in costs.
3. A methodology for collaboration – enterprise architecture provides a framework to organize and plan company data, communication, and operations. It aligns strategy across domains and utilizes technology to meet business goals.
4. A framework for investment – the modularity created by enterprise architecture, facilitates portfolio management and investment decisions.
