Abstract
Technical standardisation is what sets out the enterprise-specific standards which frame the development trajectory for your IT landscape. Even if the landscape you have at present is a heterogeneous patchwork, you can gradually usher it toward your vision by defining which technical standards are to apply in projects and maintenance measures (see Fig. 5.1).
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
