What does a decision-ready IT landscape look like?
When you need to decide whether to modernise, consolidate, migrate or retire an application, having an inventory of your systems is rarely enough. You need to understand what those applications support, which business capabilities and processes depend on them, where critical dependencies exist, and what impact a technology decision could have across the organisation. Yet this information is often scattered across spreadsheets, architecture models, process documentation and individual knowledge. The result? IT decisions are made with an incomplete picture of how the business and technology landscape are connected.
In this educational session, we’ll take a practical look at the blind spots that make IT landscapes difficult to manage and explore what it takes to turn fragmented architecture data into a reliable foundation for technology decisions. You’ll also see how modern Enterprise Architecture approaches – including AI-supported capabilities – can help architects and IT leaders continuously connect, analyse and understand their technology landscape without giving up human control over critical decisions.
What you'll learn
- Why an application inventory alone isn’t enough to understand your IT landscape and where critical blind spots occur.
- How connecting business capabilities, processes, applications and technology helps identify dependencies, redundancies, and risks.
- How a connected architecture model supports better decisions around modernisation, consolidation, cloud migration, and IT investments.
- How AI can accelerate architecture analysis and keep your IT landscape up-to-date, while keeping critical decisions in human hands.
Whether you're responsible for Enterprise Architecture, IT strategy, portfolio management or technology transformation, this session will give you a practical framework for looking at your IT landscape differently – and making better decisions with the information you already have. Join us to discover how Enterprise Architecture can move beyond documentation and become a foundation for confident technology decisions.
Who the webinar is for: This webinar is designed for Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, IT Portfolio Managers, IT strategy and governance leaders, as well as CTOs, CIOs and technology transformation leaders who need a clearer view of their IT landscape to guide strategic decisions.
