How Raiffeisen Bank Brought AI into Architecture Management
Raiffeisen Bank has shown how it is rethinking enterprise architecture. Instead of scattered diagrams and legacy EA tools, the bank is building its own repository as a digital twin of its IT landscape. The platform is tied to GitHub, CI/CD and YAML specifications.
