Otherwise, executives, managers, and frontline employees might start scratching their chins, wondering why someone was hired to reconfigure infrastructure and deploy new tools when everything was working well enough before.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So what exactly can an enterprise architect do to succeed in their new role and ensure<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/mckinsey-digital\/our-insights\/how-enterprise-architects-can-help-ensure-success-with-digital-transformations\"> digital transformation initiatives<\/a> move forward without a hitch?<\/p>\n<p>It starts with being proactive. The sooner an enterprise architect is able to clearly demonstrate their impact, the more likely it is that they\u2019ll be received with open arms. Gartner agrees. In 2018, the research firm published a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/the-first-100-days-of-an-enterprise-architect\/\"> 100-day road map<\/a> a newly hired architect can follow to make sure their presence is known\u2014and appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Although an EA might be eager to transform an organization\u2019s IT right off the bat, such a project is a massive undertaking. For the best results, an architect may want to focus on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/3429818\/enterprise-architecture-short-and-long-term-wins.html\"> quick, noticeable wins first<\/a> while devising long-term plans that take more time to enact.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a company is communicating over email all the time\u2014and encountering problems such as missed communications and version control issues\u2014moving to a real-time messaging platform like Slack and a project management platform like Trello might make sense. Right off the bat, the architect will be moving the team to \u201ccool\u201d new tools that can make a positive difference in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond that, what other projects should an architect focus on? Let\u2019s take a look at six corporate initiatives an enterprise architect should kick-start.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/6-corporate-initiatives-your-enterprise-architect-should-kick-start\/#1_Restructuring\" >1.

Restructuring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not every organization was born in the digital era. As such, tons of enterprises still rely on outdated tools and legacy systems\u2014just like they have been doing for years or even decades.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise architects have a prime opportunity to restructure IT infrastructure altogether. An obvious example is moving on-prem systems and tools to the cloud in order to take advantage of cost savings, productivity increases, and enhanced resiliency.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Outsourcing_vs_insourcing\"><\/span>2. Outsourcing vs. insourcing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Does your organization need to manage every IT system internally? Or are there opportunities to reduce costs and increase IT productivity by outsourcing some services to third-party providers?<\/p>\n<p>Your enterprise will likely want to keep complex and mission-critical systems in-house, but there are likely a number of software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools that may be a perfect match for your organization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Service_management_implementation\"><\/span>3. Service management implementation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to technology in the workplace, employees are stubborn. For example,<a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2018\/11\/choosing-business-technology.html\"> one study<\/a> found that 38 percent of employees don\u2019t want their bosses to tell them which tools to use.<\/p>\n<p>In that vein, when the IT department rolls out new services, many employees might be hesitant to use them. In large part, this may be because IT doesn\u2019t help end users learn how to become productive with the new software.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise architects can incorporate service management implementation into their workflows to ensure that all employees know how to use the tools productively. Once they realize how new tools make their jobs easier, chances are that they\u2019ll be happy the enterprise architect came on board.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_M_A_strategies\"><\/span>4. M&amp;A strategies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mergers and acquisitions give enterprise architects the unique opportunity to assess their infrastructure and see how the other company\u2019s tech stack integrates with their existing tools.<\/p>\n<p>By doing their due diligence during these major events and making sure employees have the right tools to meet the newly formed company\u2019s needs, architects can increase productivity and unlock additional efficiencies at both organizations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Application_rationalization\"><\/span>5. Application rationalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blissfully.com\/saas-trends\/2019-annual\/\"> recent Blissfully report<\/a>, the average company today uses 123 SaaS applications. That\u2019s a lot of different platforms, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise architects can begin the process of application rationalization to determine which tools should be kept, decommissioned, replaced, and merged.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_IT_modernization\"><\/span>6. IT modernization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just because an organization has successfully been using the same tools for a long time doesn\u2019t mean those tools are the best fit for the job. As discussed above, moving from email to real-time messaging tools is just one example of IT modernization that makes workers\u2019 lives easier.<\/p>\n<p>The needs of every company are unique. But by assessing their organization\u2019s tools, enterprise architects should be able to identify obvious areas where IT modernization can make a world of difference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_transform_your_operations_with_enterprise_architecture\"><\/span>Ready to transform your operations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/technology-application-portfolio-management\/\">enterprise architecture<\/a>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From the outset, enterprise architecture projects can seem like a massive undertaking.
