For many companies the incorporating of their business processes into the existing IT-Landscape becomes a great challenge. In the majority of cases the existing mod-els for business processes were developed by non-technical business analysts, who do not usually consider the limitations, concurrency, granularity or interaction models of the existing IT-Landscape.
In times of dynamically changing markets and the progressive motion towards glob-alization in companies, it is increasingly important for companies to adapt their IT-Landscape and business processes to changing conditions.
For this reason, this assignment will provide an overview of the importance the IT-Architecture, which enables and supports business processes. In addition it will give an insight to the service oriented architecture and it’s meaning in this context.
The main target of this assignment is to explain which technologies are available to adapt the IT-Landscape to dynamically changing requirements in companies and how IT-Architecture

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The Introduction highlights the challenges of integrating business processes into existing IT landscapes, emphasizing the need for adaptability in dynamic markets. The Definitions section clarifies key terms such as IT-Architecture and Business Process. The chapter on IT-Architecture explores influential factors and the structure of IT-Architecture, including application, information, business system, and technical architecture. The section on From IT-Architecture to Enterprise Architecture likely discusses the evolution and relationship between these two concepts.
