How enterprise architects serve as influential business partners
The opportunities for company growth depend on successful digital transformation. Large companies especially must complete business transformation through technological change in order to become more relevant to their customers and more competitive in their markets. They can’t wait to pursue digital growth strategies while more technology-savvy competitors capture customers and market share.
Enterprise architects play a key role in the transformation process because they have visibility into all parts of the business and recognize how the IT landscape can produce business success or failure.
Enterprise architects can easily assess the impacts of constant business change on the IT landscape, and how that in turn affects daily company operations, the customer experience, and the ability to grow and gain market share. This sweeping perspective can significantly improve the transformation process. At the same time, enterprise architects are the gatekeepers of a streamlined and agile IT landscape so that IT is ready to undertake new business transformation projects.
