Are enterprise architects the new platform team leaders?
Navigating the evolution of platform engineering and the resurgence of enterprise architects in the modern tech landscape
Role of Enterprise Architects
Enterprise architects are reemerging as key figures in platform engineering, tasked with leading the conversation around platform architecture design and definition. This shift is essential for managing the complexity of technology adoption across various teams and ensuring that technology decisions are centralized to deliver managed and secure services.
Impact of Cloud Computing
The rise of cloud computing has democratized access to technology, shifting power from centralized IT control to individual developers. As a result, enterprise architects now need to adopt a cross-functional mindset, overseeing not just technology architecture but also how various technologies fit together and serve the business needs.
Platform Thinking Mindset
Adopting a platform thinking mindset allows enterprise architects to rethink their approach from managing singular technologies to viewing them as interconnected services. This perspective helps in addressing operational silos and enhances customer satisfaction by ensuring that technology solutions are aligned with business outcomes.
