Samenvatting:
This book investigates solutions incorporated by architecture boards in global enterprises to resolve issues and mitigate related architecture risks, while also proposing and implementing an adaptive integrated digital architecture framework (AIDAF) and related models and approaches/platforms covering Big Data and AI such as Generative AI, unstructured data analytics and HCI-AI, etc., which can be applied in companies to promote IT strategies using cloud/mobile IT/digital IT.
The book is divided into three main parts, the first of which (Chapters 1–2) addresses the background and motivation for AIDAF aligned with digital IT strategies, while involving AI and Design Thinking approach. The second part (Chapter 3) provides an overview of strategic enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks for digital IT, elaborates on the essential elements of EA frameworks in the digital IT era, and advocates using AIDAF, models for architecture assessment/risk management, and knowledge management on digital platforms, while involving the new models' introduction with Design Thinking approach covering AI and Digital Transformation process. In turn, the third part (Chapters 4–9) demonstrates the application and benefits of AIDAF and related models involving the above new ones for AI and Digital Transformation process, as shown in more than six case studies.
“I found this book to be a very nice contribution to the EA community of practice. I can recommend this book as a textbook for digital IT strategists/practitioners, EA practitioners, students in universities and graduate schools.” (From the Foreword by Scott A. Bernard)

This book provides state-of-the art knowledge and practices about EA frameworks beneficial for IT practitioners, IT strategists, CIO, IT architects, and even students. It serves as an introductory textbook for all who drive the information society in this era.”(From the Foreword by Jun Murai)
