Infosys' Enterprise Architecture Survey: A strategic transformation tool for business-IT alignment

Enterprise Architecture is now ready for the next step - to evolve as a tool for transforming organizations.


Defined as the ability to achieve competitive advantage by reconfiguring resources in response to business opportunities and competitive threats, business agility is a critical success factor for corporations aiming to win in a flat world.


Infosys' Enterprise Architecture Survey 2007
To understand how EA is positioned today, Infosys recently carried out a survey involving CIOs and Chief Architects. The results clearly indicated that EA:
  • Has achieved the objectives of its evolutionary stages
  • Helps IT support the corporation
  • Is being accepted as a tool for implementing business strategy across the enterprise

A comparison with Infosys' EA survey 2005 reveals a shift in EA's role in an organization and its growing acceptance as a tool for strategic decision making. For instance, the 2007 survey reveals that 19% of EA teams are already spending more time on business architecture as opposed to focusing on disciplines traditionally in the realm of IT - a 36% increase over the last survey result of 14%.
