To facilitate this process, we use LeanIX, a powerful tool that helps us assess and manage our IT architecture effectively. LeanIX provides comprehensive insights and documentation, enabling us to make informed decisions and ensure that our initiatives are well-aligned with our strategic objectives. By leveraging this tool, the IT Enterprise Architecture team can maintain a clear and coherent architectural framework, optimizing resource utilization, reducing risks, and enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our IT operations.

Each of the Business and Technical IT Domains will have a Domain IT Architect who will report to the Head of/Lead of the Domain with a dotted line to Owen Pettiford, who will be responsible for coordination across IT Domains. The Domain IT Architect is responsible for defining and refining the IT architecture within their Domain, aligning it with the overarching enterprise architecture strategies, and supporting Product Architects to ensure architectural coherence and integrity across products. They will work in collaboration with other Domain Architects and the Enterprise Architect to drive innovation and the adoption of new technologies within the Domain while ensuring compliance with architectural standards and best practices.
