ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
greener , you need specific technological solutions at hand . This is what enterprise architects bring to the table because they have an overview of available solutions and know what works and what doesn ’ t .
“ Business fluency and an understanding of how a business works , as well as the ability to have a holistic perspective on a complex problem , is crucial . It is important to not only look at one aspect , but also consider how that aspect might influence another aspect . That is also something that enterprise architects are trained for like nobody else . Therefore , I believe that the success of holistic sustainability will be a discipline of enterprise architecture .”
Another widely debated topic is the impact of generative AI . When it comes to AI , Zeller explains that there are two major questions to ask .
“ First thing , how can we use generative AI to be faster and more efficient for our client ? That is something we can answer after a relatively short time in the future thanks to GenAI .
“ And then , there is the question of how we can use generative AI to be more creative , more innovative .
“ Those questions help us to see what ’ s there already , get a holistic perspective and get something new out of it . I don ’ t yet have the complete set of answers to how generative AI is going to help us there , but it ’ s going to be relevant for our work as it is about being creative , being innovative and solving the intellectually demanding problems between technology , business and communication that others have a hard time solving .”
