Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architects shoulder the responsibility of maintaining an organization’s IT networks and services, overseeing the enhancement and upgrading of enterprise services, software, and hardware. A pivotal aspect of their role involves mapping the alignment of business processes with the infrastructure and software utilized, ensuring a cohesive IT landscape. In this context, Enterprise Architects leverage Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to streamline and optimize business processes. This includes understanding the challenges faced by the organization, collecting relevant data, and utilizing ERP knowledge to identify effective solutions. Communication skills are crucial, as they articulate these solutions clearly across the organization, contributing not only to technical upkeep but also to strategic alignment and efficiency through ERP integration.
