Enterprise Architecture (EA) is more than "tidying up IT" - it describes the complex yet value-bringing interaction between IT and business. The transparency created with the help of EA sheds light over the connection between elements of the business architecture and the enterprise IT serves towards the further development of the IT architecture as well as the control and monitoring. In our webinar we will show you the goals and benefits of EA on the basis of concrete examples. You get a quick and clear insight into the following topics: • Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture - What is EA? • Implementation of EA - How do I implement EA in my company? • Creating transparency and identifying optimization potential - How does ADOIT support my EA initiative?
