For Enterprise Architects: flexible, sustainable technology architecture
Connect your systems without rebuilding them and make your architecture more manageable.
One of the biggest challenges in enterprise architecture is making systems built in different eras with different technologies work together. When a new business need arises, every new connection and application added to the existing architecture can, over time, turn into a structure that is hard to manage.
Challenges in enterprise architecture
A process every enterprise architect knows: every new need adds another knot to the architecture.
Systems from different eras don’t talk to each other.
New connections constantly have to be built between systems developed with different technologies in different years.
Every need is a custom development.
Every new business need brings custom development and integration work; the architecture gets a little more complex each time.
Touching a legacy application is risky.
Changing legacy applications is both costly and risky, so new patches keep getting added on top of them.
Dependencies make maintenance harder.
As dependencies between systems multiply, a single change can cause problems in unexpected places.
The architecture can’t keep up with new technology.
Adding new technologies such as AI to the existing architecture turns into a new project every time.
The problem isn’t the individual systems, it’s the connections between them.
