Enterprise Architecture as a Service (EAaaS).

Building an in-house Enterprise Architecture (EA) team, along with the necessary automation tools and processes, can be costly and time-consuming. For many organizations, EA-as-a-Service (EAaaS) presents a more efficient alternative. It enables faster implementation, provides access to expert architects and automation tools,  and delivers a cost-effective way to manage EA.
Access to Expert EAs
EAaaS brings in highly skilled architects with deep knowledge of both IT and business strategy. They are experienced in using industry-leading tools like LeanIX, our AI-Tech Stack and best practices.
Cost Effective
You don’t have to bear the cost of full-time salaries, benefits, and training. With EAaaS, you only pay for the services you need, when you need them.
Faster Results
With EAaaS, we can quickly jump in and start delivering results right away. We have the expertise to accelerate the analysis of complex systems, significantly reducing ramp-up time compared to building an internal team and tools.
Scalability
EAaaS allows you to scale up or down as needed. If you have a big project, you can quickly add more resources. If things slow down, you can reduce your EAaaS services to fit your needs.

Why It’s Hard to Build an EA Team and the Tooling from Scratch.

Building an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team, and the necessary tools and processes from scratch is challenging due to the unique mix of skills required, long ramp-up time, high costs, and the need for alignment between business and IT. Finding the right people is difficult, as enterprise architects must understand both business and technology, and those with this expertise are in high demand. Additionally, new EA teams take time to deliver value, as they must learn the business, build relationships, and establish trust. The costs of recruiting, training, and maintaining EA talent can be prohibitive, and aligning IT systems with business goals is often met with resistance or communication gaps. Scaling the team as the business grows adds further complexity.
  1. 01: Finding talent is tough: Enterprise Architects need both business and IT expertise, making recruitment challenging and costly.
  2. 02: Slow ramp-up: New EA teams need time to understand the business and establish relationships before delivering value.
  3. 03: High costs: Enterprise Architects are among the highest-paid professionals, making it expensive to build and maintain an EA team.
  4. 04: Alignment issues: Ensuring IT supports business goals is difficult, with resistance to change and communication gaps slowing progress.
