Architecture Is Essential For
Both Digital Native & Digital
Immigrant
Organizations
In today's digital economy, business strategies of both digital natives & digital immigrants are driven by technology potentialities demanding business technology alignment and responsiveness. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is one of the key success factors of enabling business transformations and driving technology strategies. EA ought to be emphasizing & promoting the modern-day practices of continual change, adaptive design, modular structuring, and intelligent autonomation of business technology capabilities. Today's Modern Enterprise Architecture (MEA) must intelligently structure the environment, people, data, process, and technology through humanachinic transformations to minimize wastage & maximize efficacy of enterprise assets.
At digital leaders, 90% of respondents rate that the Enterprise Architecture teams were more likely to contribute 'high' or 'very high' benefits to business and IT.
- McKinsey
By 2023, 60% of organizations will depend on EA's role to lead the business approach to digital innovation & to design intelligence into their business & operating models.
- Gartner
By 2022, 80% of digital businesses will take a collaborative approach to EA, involving participants across business and IT, and potentially beyond.

Business Technology Architecture® (BTA) is a modern enterprise architecture approach providing adaptive & actionable practices founded on the principles of Lean, Agile, & DevOps cultural paradigms. BTA aligns business technology strategy and execution through design-engineered, data-driven, digital-powered humanachinic (i.e., human + machine collaborated autonomation) practices. BTA provides intellectual building blocks for organizations to successfully institute architecture practices and execute architecture strategies that deliver sustainable business value.
Successful Institutionalization of
Architecture Proves To Be A
Challenging Conquest Elsewhere
Though the value of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is well-understood, organizations are persistently challenged with practical execution of architecture strategies successfully. The inherent complexity of EA and the related organizational deficiencies contribute to the current ineffective and extreme approaches of ivory-tower strategy architectures with the absence of actionable artifacts and system-specific low-level architectures with the absence of strategic alignment. To gain the trust & confidence of stakeholders, architecture practices must institute business outcome-oriented culture with actionable business technology alignment practices and continuously deliver measurable business value.
More than 90% of EA activities never really resulted in anything useful.
- Ivar Jacobson, Computer Scientist
More than 60% ( two-thirds ) of Enterprise Architecture Initiatives fail.
- Survey from Rotterdam University
Due to poor execution, 40% of Enterprise Architecture programs get stopped.
- Gartner
Surveys & studies from various research organizations indicate that the primary root-causes for these failures are:
Lack of
well-structured, flexible, and actionable 'approach' to maneuver the complexity of EA
Lack of business technology competency to deliver
'meaningful & usable' architecture
artifacts
