Enterprise Architecture Management

Using EAM to design complex architectures that can be mastered

What is enterprise architecture management?

Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is more than just designing the IT architecture; it is crucial for developing a robust IT strategy and encompasses a holistic view of a company's entire IT landscape. EAM is understood as a management discipline that not only focuses on the so-called solution architecture, but also takes a comprehensive look at the interactions between information technologies and business activities. EAM creates transparency regarding the interrelations within a company and thus enables effective management of complex architectures, strengthening of IT governance and support of data governance.

What does EAM mean to us at adesso?

Above all, we understand that it is essential in today's world to use EAM to align the entire IT architecture with value creation in a responsive and flexible manner. IT organisations should use the latest and most appropriate technologies to act as enablers or even innovators for the business. That is why we follow the lean EAM approach in particular with our consulting mandates.

Our pragmatic and customer-oriented approach shortens the time to market for EAM. Lean-EAM can be applied as a methodology in projects or implemented in the organisation of a company. IT decision-makers in companies can easily and flexibly involve all stakeholders in their process structures, thus laying the foundation for greater efficiency and agility.
