In many ways, the enterprise architect is one of the most pivotal IT positions at an organization, and especially for a company that is embarking on a digital transformation. Enterprise architects are involved in conducting analysis, design, planning and implementation of any technology and process changes needed to help meet the goals of an organization.
These professionals are responsible for performing the analysis of existing business structures and processes, and based on that determining what the goals of enterprise architecture should be. For example, increased effectiveness, greater business agility and a higher level of efficiency can all be potential goals.
