Many businesses are struggling to keep up with the ever-changing needs of their customers and employees. It often results in disparate architectures that may not meet a company's needs. Enterprise architecture (EA) is the design and planning of a business information technology infrastructure.

One of the fundamental purposes of enterprise architecture is to construct a map or blueprint of an organization's structure and activities. A map of IT assets and business processes should be included in this plan. Promoting team cohesiveness and uniformity are two more typical objectives. Unifying settings across teams and companies can help with this. The majority of the advice is focused on a company's business needs.

"By 2023, 60% of organizations will rely on Enterprise Architecture's role to drive their business approach to digital transformation," says a recent report. The EA's traditional approach to technology and solution architecture is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of modern enterprises. Conversely, today's enterprise architects are responsible for incorporating intelligence into business and operating models and identifying ways to help organizations use data, analytics, and artificial intelligence to plan, track, and manage digital business investments.

Enterprise architects and technology innovation leaders must focus on collaboration and artificial intelligence in 2022 and beyond. In 2010, analysts predicted that within 10 years, most global companies would support enterprise architecture as a separate discipline and an integral part of their business plans. It gives companies a solid foundation for future growth. With the right tools and EA team, one can confidently make business changes without worrying about the impact on IT infrastructure.
