Enterprise Architecture: your alignment plan for strategy, business and IT

Bridge the gap between your current business needs, strategic plans and current IT landscape with our enterprise architecture approach – one step at a time.

The challenges of an evolving IT landscape

From monolithic infrastructures to ‘best-of-breed’

Since the 1980s, business IT has continuously evolved from early on-premise infrastructures to all-in-one megasuites all the way to today’s ‘best-of-breed’, decentralized SaaS solutions.

Conquering complexity

In the latter case, every aspect of the business is served by a niche solution with its own data model and restrictions. Ensuring proper communication and integration between these separate entities – for example, to create a 360° customer view – can be pretty challenging.

Redefining the role of IT

IT enables the modern enterprise to adapt to its business environment and meet (customer) expectations. Standing at the forefront of digital transformation, a solid IT landscape allows organizations to navigate internal and external changes and roll with the punches. The key? Keeping pace with the ever-increasing speed of change.

GovCon Transformation Series: Episode 3 Recap – “The Tech Leap”

Government contracting is changing fast. Compliance demands are growing. Technology is moving even faster. Episode 3 of the GovCon Transformation Series, “The Tech Leap,” brought together insights from Kenneth Berg, Partner at delaware; Alban Leong, Principal Architect at delaware; David Sentance, SAP Data SME; Chad Braley, CEO of Capital Edge Consulting; and Melissa Dixon, Senior Manager at Capital Edge Consulting. Together, they focused on one clear message: technology must move forward, but it must follow the business. Many government contractors still rely on legacy systems. These systems are heavily customized. They depend on manual workarounds and disconnected data. That approach cannot scale. It increases risk. It slows growth. And it makes compliance harder. The Tech Leap is about building a modern digital foundation. One that supports compliance today and prepares organizations for growth tomorrow.

Shop Floor Revolution Series: Episode 2 Recap – “Modernization of the Shop Floor”

Manufacturing is changing fast. The shop floor is no longer just about machines and materials. It is about data, speed, and people. Episode 2 of the Shop Floor Revolution Series focused on one clear message: Modernization is no longer optional. Many shop floors still run on paper, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge. That approach cannot scale. It also puts growth, margins, and workforce stability at risk. Modernization is about building a digital foundation that supports today’s operations and tomorrow’s innovation.
