Business transformation requires enhancement of existing business models, new functions and new ways of working supported and enabled by IT solutions.

Enterprise Architecture leads business transformation in organisation in order to make sure that investments support business strategies. Enterprise Architecture minimizes risk by splitting change initiatives into manageable building blocks distributed into business capabilities.

Business transformation also requires Change Management. No change initiative has ever succeeded without planning and proper management of people.

International standards help facilitate the use of Enterprise Architecture throughout and between organisations with emphasis on interoperability, competence and development.
