1. Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise architecture aims to create a blueprint of an organization's structure
and operations, including IT assets and business processes. Strategic
coordination and planning are necessary for business and IT architectures to be
effective. A company must have an IT strategy to design its architecture.
Examples:
In the future, banks will no longer be able to differentiate themselves from each other
through locations and interest rates. The functionality and simplicity of online banking
will become more important.
Retailers will no longer determine the product range alone. In their webshops, third-
party providers and private individuals can expand the assortment with their own
products.
