"Enterprise Architecture Enables IT to Successfully Manage Business Operations During Pandemic"

Covid-19 Pandemic has introduced its own unique challenges. The old norms of working have been turned upside down due to State and Central Governments introducing Health advices to restrict movement, meeting with others etc. To rise above these challenges Enterprises adopted many IT strategies.
