BOC Group has been listed as a Sample Vendor in the 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture across three innovation profiles: AI-Augmented Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture and Outcome-Driven Metrics.
For us, this inclusion reflects the direction we continue to pursue with ADOIT: helping Enterprise Architecture teams turn connected enterprise knowledge into better decisions, clearer transformation paths and measurable business impact.
What This Means for ADOIT
We see the 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture as an indication of the growing role of EA in supporting productivity, AI-led transformation, and faster business and technology change.
It reflects a broader shift in expectations for Enterprise Architecture, where organizations are increasingly focusing on turning AI into enterprise value, leveraging emerging technologies to respond to disruption, and evolving EA to keep pace with accelerating change.
These priorities closely align with three areas where ADOIT supports modern EA teams:
AI-Augmented Enterprise Architecture
AI is becoming an important support layer for EA teams themselves, helping architects work faster, surface relevant insights, and reduce manual effort in complex architecture environments. With ADOIT, we focus on embedding AI directly into EA workflows – from technology lifecycle insights and AI-supported roadmapping to portfolio recommendations, contextual analysis, and natural-language access to architecture knowledge. Combined with ADOIT’s structured repository and MCP capabilities, this helps teams apply AI to architecture work while keeping decisions grounded in reliable, transparent enterprise data.
Business Architecture
As transformation pressure grows, organizations need a clearer way to connect strategy, capabilities, operating models, applications and technologies. ADOIT brings these perspectives together in one shared view, helping teams understand dependencies, assess impact, compare scenarios and plan transformation with greater confidence.
Outcome-Driven Metrics
EA teams are increasingly expected to show value beyond architecture deliverables. ADOIT supports this by helping organizations connect architecture work with strategic priorities, transformation initiatives, application costs, portfolio decisions and decision-relevant insights – making EA’s contribution easier to communicate at leadership level.
Taken together, we see these areas as part of a broader shift in Enterprise Architecture: from maintaining architecture information to actively guiding transformation, governance and business decision-making.
Built for What’s Ahead
ADOIT gives EA teams the foundation to turn architecture insight into action. It helps organizations:
- Build a reliable, always-current architecture repository
- Connect strategy, capabilities, applications, technologies, costs and roadmaps
- Capture and validate architecture input through forms, workflows and guided workspaces
- Compare scenarios and assess the impact of change before decisions are made
- Identify lifecycle risks, dependencies and portfolio optimization opportunities
- Use AI-supported insights to reduce manual effort and acceleraanalysis
With ADOIT, Enterprise Architecture becomes more than a documentation practice. It becomes a trusted decision layer for transformation, investment planning and technology governance.
“Enterprise Architecture is increasingly expected to deliver measurable business value while enabling AI-driven transformation. With ADOIT, our goal is to support organizations in making architecture both actionable and outcome-oriented,” says Christoph Moser, ADOIT Product Manager.
