BA and IT architecture are closely interrelated. With a systematic approach, information technologies can provide invaluable support to the business. However, their use is often non-systemic and meets the immediate needs of the entrepreneur.

Who to involve in the implementation of information technologies

Thanks to business architecture, companies can use information technologies, which should be used for planned development, in the most efficient way. By implementing one-time situational developments, the company solves immediate problems, but a comprehensive approach is required to implement the strategy. Business application architecture as part of BA solves the problems of embedding information technologies into the business structure. It is important to understand the difference between the concepts: "business and IT" and "IT as part of business".

Planning at a new qualitative level
Direct or indirect interrelation botim data package of all business processes makes it impossible to plan them without a comprehensive, systemic approach. Forecasting from the BA perspective reduces risks associated with:

incorrect assessment of the relationships between elements and factors;

over- or under-budgeting of activities;

serious violations of the deadlines for the implementation of the business project;

superficial planning and strategy building without taking into account sufficient information;

inconsistency between the tasks assigned to departments and functional areas.

Embedding planning into business architecture helps to quickly identify and address critical gaps in the organization.
