One of the major issues confronting most every organization with a sizeable technology investment and long list of goals and objectives is understanding how to move from strategy formulation through solution deployment in the most time-and cost-effective ways possible. This whitepaper lays the foundation for addressing these challenges. Using business architecture as a baseline for understanding an organization’s business ecosystem, this whitepaper defines and formalizes the cross-impact points among what a business does, how it delivers stakeholder value, the information it relies on, and the technology involved and where technology is or should be impacted by change to the business ecosystem. The end result provides business leaders and planning teams with insights into how and where technology is or should be impacted by change to the business ecosystem.
