If enterprise architecture makes you think of buildings, think again because it maps how business and technology fit together. EA shows the connections across the organization, so decisions are made with the whole system in mind, not one piece at a time. Microblog @antgrasso Digital transformation can improve how an organization works, but it also makes business and technology more dependent on each other. Enterprise architecture makes those dependencies visible before changes are made. Suppose a company wants to introduce same-day delivery. The business process may need to change. The order application may need new functions. Inventory data has to be available at the right moment, and the infrastructure must support the workload. That one business decision now touches process, application, data and infrastructure. Change one part and another may be affected. Replacing an application or moving a workload to the cloud can have the same effect. The technology decision sits inside a business system. Enterprise architecture gives you the map of that system, so you can see what depends on what before you change it. #EnterpriseArchitecture #DigitalTransformation
