Ongoing Review and Optimization: Regularly reviewing the performance of the enterprise architecture, making iterative adjustments to remain in sync with changing business needs and advancing technologies.
These techniques allow organizations to establish a flexible, responsive IT infrastructure that supports both current operations and future innovations, thereby optimizing their ability to adapt to a constantly evolving business environment.
