Abstract
This case is about applying the Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach to align Information Technology to the business goals of a global company. ENMARK, the company has presence in four continents and many countries with multiple legal entities. The company has major product divisions that operate independently around the globe. As a result, there are multiple ERPs and other applications having heavy cost implications. There is a need to use the Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach to understand the overall businesses and remove redundancy across IT. The case can be used to understand how EA helps to bring about integration of Strategy, Business and Information Technology, as well as using the EA approach to develop business, data and application architecture for the global company.
本案例介绍如何应用企业架构(EA)方法,使信息技术与一家全球性公司的业务目标相一致。ENMARK 公司业务遍及四大洲和许多国家,拥有多个法人实体。公司的主要产品部门在全球各地独立运营。因此,公司拥有多个企业资源规划系统和其他应用程序,成本影响巨大。有必要使用企业架构(EA)方法来了解整体业务,并消除 IT 系统中的冗余。本案例可用于了解 EA 如何帮助实现战略、业务和信息技术的整合,以及使用 EA 方法为全球公司开发业务、数据和应用架构。
