As the need for managing change and complexity is growing, there is demand for IT Architecture Firms with architecture competency. We are witnessing worldwide adoption of IT / Enterprise Architecture profession as a foundation to system & enterprise survival as well as enterprise success. Gradually, with time this discipline has moved from "innovators" to "early adopters" phase.
In the last decade, we have seen several attempts been made to do architecture in informal ways. The major focus of architecture groups have been reducing complexity by decreasing the number of applications and moving away from legacy systems in a cost-effective manner. Some cases they were trying to enhance process efficiency (Cycle time optimization by 90%) or 91% reduction in finished good inventory or in some cases 93% reduction in lead-time to produce the product.
Unfortunately, for most of the companies, there were no formal architecture efforts. Even if they existed, the architecture teams were very small ( 1-2% of the IT group size). Need of the hour, is to adopt architecture as a mainstream discipline within an organization.
