hwadrug.blogg.se - Enterprise architect cracked version

I've seen a lot, from companies that are deeply invested in Enterprise Architecture to those who don't appear to be aware of it, or think buying and implementing an ERP solution will do that on its own. I have developed architecture at the enterprise level, but I'm a data architect and I work on project-level work when that is what is available. I will be posting more blogs in the next week with some practical steps to help you improve your architecture function and protect your business!

It is time that architecture moves from maintaining its theoretical documented future to an active front line position with stakeholders, it should be concerned with the short and long-term goals with robust measurements. Your Architecture function is one of the most important in your company, if it gets the architecture wrong and it doesn’t align with the strategy and engage with both IT and the business it could sink your company! Not immediately but slowly…it’s more like a ‘creeping death’.

Single ERP, Cloud, AI or Mobility strategy (for the record not strategies…).

Emergency unplanned IT upgrades of existing IT services.

Escalating and surprise running costs for your cloud deployments.

Legacy IT services with crippling support costs.

IT Service outages due to capacity, performance or resilience.

Digital Transformation investment to jump start your IT service portfolio.

I don’t actually find that very surprising, because everyone is struggling with delivering successful architecture. That may seem like a bold statement but if you have any of the following initiatives or challenges in your organisation then your Enterprise Architecture function isn’t working as well as it could!

It is perceived as an Ivory Tower and remember perception is their reality! So, if you are listening carefully it will be clear that the business value of architecture is being questioned and there is a frustration with Enterprise Architecture (EA) from senior leadership especially in engineering and operations. When you are looking for a new role you get a very good insight into the challenges and problems a business is facing. With 17 years of experience in the industry I am very much tuned in to what people don’t say when they are explaining a business challenge. It’s in the body language and the choice of words that they use.
