Business-Systems Architecture

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  A computer engineer who doesn't understand enterprise architecture knows how to build components (functions, modules, isolated systems), but doesn't necessarily know where those components fit, why they exist, or what happens when the organization changes and the components have to change with it. ASE provides three capabilities that the typical technical curriculum does not cover. First, the ability to contextualize technical decisions: understanding that choosing between a monolith and microservices is not a matter of technological preference. Second, the ability to communicate with non-technical stakeholders: enterprise architects, managers, and decision-makers speak the language of processes, capabilities, and value. Third, the ability to think about second-order consequences: anticipating how a change in a system affects data, processes, and infrastructure that no one has explicitly mapped out.
