Enterprise Architecture: your alignment plan for strategy, business and IT
Bridge the gap between your current business needs, strategic plans and current IT landscape with our enterprise architecture approach – one step at a time.
The challenges of an evolving IT landscape
From monolithic infrastructures to ‘best-of-breed’
Since the 1980s, business IT has continuously evolved from early on-premise infrastructures to all-in-one megasuites all the way to today’s ‘best-of-breed’, decentralized SaaS solutions.
Conquering complexity
In the latter case, every aspect of the business is served by a niche solution with its own data model and restrictions. Ensuring proper communication and integration between these separate entities – for example, to create a 360° customer view – can be pretty challenging.
Redefining the role of IT
IT enables the modern enterprise to adapt to its business environment and meet (customer) expectations. Standing at the forefront of digital transformation, a solid IT landscape allows organizations to navigate internal and external changes and roll with the punches. The key? Keeping pace with the ever-increasing speed of change.
