Challenge

The strategic as well as the transformative potential of architecture remains untapped in many organizations or falls victim to a focus on day-to-day business issues. If architecture functions are reduced to purely technical disciplines, their potential to develop holistic solution perspectives remains unused.

 

Inadequately established architecture functions operate with a fire-fighting attitude, where integrated planning does not take place or is boycotted by relevant parties. They tend to overemphasize short-term goals at the cost of inadequate long-term planning, which has a negative impact on the evolvability of resources, products, and business services - and thus on the vitality of enterprises in the medium term. 
 

Adequately established architecture functions efficiently support intelligent decision-making as well as the sustainable implementation of enterprise services based on the architecture disciplines ...

• Enterprise and domain architecture (strategy and portfolio management), which establish the necessary transparency for making the right decisions.

• Solution architecture (transformation management), which ensures the right implementation of decisions.
