Summary
As one of the major pillars of the economy, the German automotive industry has a long tradition characterized by constant changes. Thereby, these changes do not only stem from altering market conditions or far-reaching business decisions but also from technological progress and a continuously adjusting legal environment.
Enterprise architecture (EA) management can be leveraged to cope with these ongoing changes by taking up a holistic stance. In particular, this project addresses subsequent topics
- Identification and visualization of complexity factors of an application landscape
- Metrics and key performance indicators for EA management
- Support of a cross-brand standardization initiative for IT components
- Development of enterprise-wide access views for business objects spread across multiple IT-systems
- Prototypic design and implementation of EA viewpoints to foster decision support
- Active participation in a business product migration project
