Part 3
The digitalisation journey entails a comprehensive business model transformation. Alongside the formulation of the business model changes, it is crucial to investigate the modifications to enterprise architecture (EA) necessary to support the digital transformation. EA looks at key dimensions and layers of the operating model of an enterprise, describes them and analyses their dependencies. As an analogy, the construction plans of a building depict how floor layout, wall construction, electricity circuits, plumbing and construction materials are used to design and enhance a building that matches the budgets and expectations of the owners.
