Networked digitalisation as an enabler for smart products and data-based business models presents companies with numerous and diverse challenges on their way through the digital transformation. Various reference architecture models have been developed in recent years to support these companies. A detailed analysis of these and in particular their use by companies quickly showed that currently existing reference models have major weaknesses in their practical suitability. With the Aachen Digital Architecture Management (ADAM), a framework was developed that specifically addresses the weaknesses of existing reference architectures and specifically takes up their strengths. As a holistic model, specially developed for use by companies, ADAM structures the digital transformation of companies in the areas of digital infrastructure and business development starting from customer requirements. Systematically, companies are enabled to drive the design of the digital architecture, taking into account design fields. The description of the design fields offers a detailed insight into the essential tasks on the way to a digitally networked company. The model is not only a structuring aid, but also contains a construction kit with the design fields to configure the procedure in the digital transformation. The procedure differentiates between the development of the digitalisation strategy and the implementation of the digital architecture. Three different case studies also show how ADAM is used in industry, what structuring support it can provide and how the digital transformation can be configured. The breadth and depth of ADAM enable companies to take the path of digital transformation systematically and in a structured manner, without ignoring the value-creating components of digitalisation. This qualifies ADAM as a sustainability-oriented framework, as it places the economic scaling, needs-based adaptation and future-oriented robustness of solution modules in the focus of digital transformation.
Auch in Zeiten von COVID-19, mit der Umstellung auf Remote-Arbeit und -Workshops, lassen sich umfangreiche IT-Projekte meistern. Nach einem dezentralen Aufbau diverser Landesgesellschaften wurden Ineffizienzen in den Prozessen und mangelnde Unterstützung durch die eingeführten Informationssysteme immer deutlicher. In Kombination mit einer strategischen Neuausrichtung, die digitale Lernformate in den Vordergrund stellt, wurde deutlich, dass die Ländergesellschaften ihre komplette IT-Landschaft umgestalten müssen. Wie die Experten des FIR bei der Lösung dieser Herausforderungen geholfen haben, zeigt der folgende Artikel. Um mittelfristig nicht nur anforderungsgerechte
Informationssysteme nutzen zu können, sondern auch gleichzeitig Ressourcen effizienter einzusetzen, wurde beschlossen, zunächst eine IT-Harmonisierung durchzuführen. Unter Einbeziehung des Aachener Digital-Architecture-Managements wurde nicht nur die Harmonisierung erfolgreich vorangetrieben, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Anforderungen an die Digitalarchitektur des Unternehmens berücksichtigt
