Abstract
IT landscape management builds transparency into the IT landscape and forges links between business and IT structures, bridging the gap between the two camps. What an enterprise architecture does is pull together disparate information from business and IT and create associations between elements such as business processes (from the business) and applications (from IT). It creates a unified picture of IT in the enterprise, and renders explicit the interdependencies and impacts of changes in business and IT. IT landscape management creates a transparent picture of the as-is and to-be status, and of the implementation roadmap.
One cannot look into the future – but one can lay the groundwork for what is to come – one can build the future.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
