Enterprise Architecture is a hot topic. Companies need to:
- improve return on investment in technology,
- reduce costs of operating technology,
- take decisions on which technology to retire and which to buy,
- protect security and privacy relevant data assets,
- optimize the integrations between the systems, applications and processes,
- assure that all users can access independently where are they located,
- select and implement a tool to be efficient
- reduce technology risk
- plan and steer application modernization
- save money in post-merger integrations
At the end, what counts in Enterprise Architecture is the result you get out of an investment in the topic. Its not the activity, its the result.
