What is IT-Architecture

Chapter 16
Handbook of Research on E-Transformation and Human Resources Management Technologies: Organizational Outcomes and Challenges
The term “IT-Architectur” summarizes all static and dynamic aspects of IT (information technology) in organizations. These aspects include the infrastructure like hardware, software and data as well as the management of IT (configuration and capacity planning, load balancing, data backup, availability, reliability, disaster-planning, etc.). Furthermore functional aspects such as the necessary interfaces that provide a frictionless IT support of the business processes of organizations are part of the “IT architecture”.

Abstract
In 2007 Erickson and Gratton asked “What it means to work here” and discussed the need for a structured approach to establishing an employer image among potential employees. In July 2007, Lee also proposed an architecture for a next-generation holistic e-recruiting system. Based on these ideas and a design science approach we propose an extension of this framework by adding employer branding as an important new component and structured sub-process. Based on an extensive review of IS and HR literature, we show how employer branding should be integrated into the existing architecture to develop and implement an effective employer branding strategy. The results are a first step towards an architecture for a holistic e-HR management system.
