Covid-19 Pandemic has introduced its own unique challenges. The old norms of working have been turned upside down due to State and Central Governments introducing Health advices to restrict movement, meeting with others etc. To rise above these challenges Enterprises adopted many IT strategies.
Key among them relate to
1. Managing Cyber Security - Security Event Mgt,
2. BYOD Management and
3. IT Operations - IT Infrastructure Management
When Organizations approached these strategies without Enterprise Architecture, they tended to create many Architecture and Implementation Views in different media formats such as PowerPoint, Visio, Excel etc., created by different domain experts. The Developer knew his applications well, the Network lead knew their Network Infrastructure well and the Business Analyst knew his processes well and the Project owner combined the Architecture views in the way they were used to.
The dependencies and relationships between the Architecture Elements were never well understood.
