Abstract

Businesses today are under ever more intense pressure, that extends beyond just increasing shareholder value. Commoditisation in core businesses is a problem, compounded further by regulatory requirements and controls, and increased competition. With new opportunities in diverse markets and geographies, information technology (IT) needs to once again become the business's saviour. Core to the new IT is an enterprise architecture spanning people, processes and technology. In this paper we introduce the aspects of governance, process and technology required to successfully transform IT into the business's champion.
