EA#DigitalTransformation

Enterprise architecture as a core building block of the Accenture Banking Platform

The presentation will examine the takeover of ARZ by Accenture, exploring the accompanying challenges and opportunities for enterprise architecture. The transformation of the IT landscape of a traditional data center, such as ARZ, into a digital banking platform also required a change in architecture management. The focus is on the evolution from a local to a global, customer-oriented approach and the management of exponential growth in the project landscape. Cultural transformation is also an important building block for the success of EAM. We will also discuss the importance of central EAM repositories, such as ADOIT, for the effective management of complex IT landscapes and the role of frameworks such as ArchiMate to improve communication and clarity.

EAM ― a “Digital Map” for everyone

The presentation will introduce use cases that have significantly shaped our EAM implementation project at ENGEL. They played a decisive role in familiarizing us with the typical requirements of a “digital company map” and aligning the project with these use cases. As a result, we quickly succeeded in creating direct benefits for the company. From this perspective, we not only introduced “EAM” but also something that has established itself as a first-class support methodology for many “tricky” tasks in the company.

Bottom-Up ― There’s no such thing as impossible Introduction of a process management system at MED-EL

Bottom-up approach to implementation at the Innsbruck site with approx. 1800 employees. Why this approach in contrast to the usual practice? Identifying interface problems and bottlenecks without coordinated processes in the company. Presenting the processes in different views of the company’s process map in order to pick up the employees. Display specific challenges. Create incentives and make offers. Convince instead of instruct. Illustrate the approach and provide examples.
