The Remote Work Revolution

Welcome to Issue 33!

Hello, digital nomads! This week in “Enterprise Architecture: The Struggle is Real,” we’re navigating the uncharted territories of remote work. The sudden shift to remote work has redefined the workplace, presenting both opportunities and challenges for enterprise architects. Let’s explore the humor and hurdles of this new era.

The Main Story: The Remote Work Riddle

Imagine your enterprise as a bustling city that suddenly turns into a ghost town overnight. The offices are empty, the meeting rooms silent, and yet, work continues—now dispersed across hundreds or thousands of home offices. As the enterprise architect, you’re tasked with redesigning the infrastructure to support this new way of working, ensuring security, collaboration, and productivity without physical proximity.

TOGAF to the Rescue (Again)

TOGAF’s Technology Architecture phase offers the blueprint for building a resilient remote work environment. By rethinking network design, security protocols, and collaboration tools, TOGAF helps you create a digital workspace that is as effective as the traditional office—if not more so.

The Educational Twist: Best Practices for Remote Work Integration
