Introduction
Enterprises are gearing up to address the ever-changing demands of the business in an agile manner to reap the benefits through reduced time to market. They demand high business agility to achieve organizational goals. With the complexity of the business, models and interactions between businesses are hitting a record high; the IT systems are accommodating these complexities in many ways. Many enterprises prefer to develop product-type configurable systems rather than custom-tailored rigid systems. The architects who provide the technology leadership had to go over and above their scope to address business demands.
Today, the perception towards Architects across the industry is changing. Enterprise Architects expected to code, to win the respect across the organization. The Enterprise Architect also expected to get involved not only in the strategy stage but also in end-to-end implementation. The Enterprise Architect needs to work very closely with the business in defining the business strategy of an enterprise. In addition, Enterprise Architect oversees how to realize the business strategy in the form of implementation.
