We are hearing the tales of severely ill or dying enterprise
architectural efforts in even the best of organizations. It really shouldn’t be
a surprise as architectural efforts are long, slow and change before they are
complete. Even if an organization manages to complete one, things are changing
so fast the value of even a rare complete architecture is dubious at best.
Leveraging digital twins can be a game changer for architecture. A digital twin
is a digital replica of physical assets, processes, people, places, systems and
devices that can be used for management purposes.
Links the Real World
to Logical Architecture:
Architecture is important, but it tends to isolate and not
connected to reality often times. Basing the current architecture on digital
twins allows for a reality-based current state and helps make a case for making
changes incrementally or in more significant portions. Target architectures
could also be modeled from a base of current digital twin behaviors.
Keeps Up with the
Speed of Change:
Digital twins are changing in real time, so having a current
architecture linked to now gives an advantage especially when linked to some machine
learning, simulation and other forms of predictive assists. Since the
measurement of the digital twin can be amped up to real time, the link to
reality can be instantaneous if desired.
Monitors Business
Assets in Context:
Digital twins interacting in an animated fashion gives an accurate picture of what's going on in various levels of neighborhoods of
interacting contexts to give a more exact sense of behavior and interaction
results. This can allow for better and faster managerial intervention to
indicators and tolerance factors.
Finds Emerging
Patterns of Interest:
The behavior of an asset by looking at its state and
isolated behavior can point to opportunities to adjust. Interactions with other
assets, resources or contexts can point to patterns that may look like a new
scenario that was not planned for and project where that scenario may lead. The
emerging scenarios can point management to opportunities or threats.
Points to Down-Stream
Impacts:
Combining digital twin behavior with algorithms like
simulation can project down-stream impacts and intercept situations before they
occur. Responses can be planned and put into place and new tolerances can be
established.
Net; Net:
Old school enterprise architectures have limited value
today, except for defining things like target business outcomes, target
business competencies and target skills. Super-charging architecture with
digital twins are the answer for the modern digital organization.
Digital twin is a technology that bridges the physical and the virtual world. It is a digital replica of a living or non-living physical entity. If you need the best digital twin service then you can visit the Onsite3D website. Digital twin Calgary, Alberta
