A recent video from analyst firm Gartner highlights the importance of aligning strategy with execution to survive and thrive in today’s challenging economic environment and beyond.

According to Dave Aron, vice president and research director in Gartner’s CIO research group, “CIOs are having to focus on all the different areas of business improvement, not just efficiency. That includes risk management, effectiveness and growth.”

Aron emphasizes that strategy is not a “luxury” for prosperous times. It is, in fact, critical now for businesses to deploy innovative IT solutions that model, analyze, and improve enterprise initiatives—enabling companies to harvest functionality and agility.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) does exactly that—offering today’s corporations a value proposition that essentially pays for itself in return on investment. Those that invest in Enterprise Architecture today are not only maximizing business value in the short-term, but also ensuring their competitive advantage and prosperity in the long-term.

Metastorm ProVision® is an industry leading EA solution that allows you to comprehensively discover and model your Business Strategy, Business Architecture and Information Architecture (applications, organization, systems and more) and then systematically and comprehensively plan changes to the enterprise to optimize business performance.
