Is enterprise architecture fit for purpose in the cloud ecosystem?

“Bridging the Gap: Enterprise Architecture in the Cloud Era” on the Ecosystems podcast

When you think about enterprise architecture, what does that mean?

“An enterprise architect is really in the business of fitting technology together across different buckets of tech, across different product families. If you cannot piece together Fabric and the data platform, Azure infrastructure, Power Platform, Dynamics to some degree or another, then you’re not an enterprise architect…”

Has the industry created totems about enterprise architecture frameworks like TOGAF and being technology agnostic? Is it real, or is it nonsense?

Join us Mark, Andrew, Ana, and Chris as they explore the roles of solution architects and enterprise architects in the cloud landscape. We delve into the difference between the two roles and the challenges faced by enterprise architects in assembling technology across different product families. The discussion also touches on the concept of being technology agnostic (or not) and the importance of educating enterprise architects. The conversation highlights the need for Microsoft to provide more targeted content and frameworks for enterprise architects, particularly in the Power Platform and Azure ecosystems.

What You Will Learn:

  • Solution architects and enterprise architects play different roles in the technology landscape;

  • Enterprise architects face challenges in assembling technology across different product families;

  • Being technology agnostic may not be practical or realistic;

  • There is a need for more targeted education and content for enterprise architects, particularly in the Power Platform and Azure ecosystems.
