Digital Transformations are not easy. This is especially true for ArchiSurance, where Kathleen Stone, Chief Architect, finds herself in the middle of a failing transformation. Reluctantly, she agrees to help reset the digital strategy and ends up owning the implementation of the changed approach, using The Open Group standards to help solve the problems she faces along the journey.

In an easy-to-read and entertaining style, our three authors uncover many of the typical problems faced by companies as they make decisions to deploy digital technologies. Readers will not only learn how The Open Group standards can be used to solve complications that arise during the ArchiSurance Digital Transformation, they can use the Bonus Material artifacts to solve their own problems.

The Open Group IT4IT™ Standard, Version 3.0, describes a reference architecture that can be used to manage the business of Information Technology (IT) and the associated end-to-end lifecycle management of Digital Products.

This foundational IT4IT Reference Architecture is independent of specific technologies, vendors, organization structures, process models, and methodologies. It can be mapped to any existing technology landscape. It is flexible enough to accommodate the continuing evolution of operational and management paradigms for technology. It addresses every Digital Product lifecycle phase from investment decision-making to end-of-life.
