Alternatively, global, matrixed enterprises often follow a federated information systems approach. The first type of enterprises, which we call the standardized enterprises, lack flexibility, while the second type, which we call decentralized enterprises, lack visibility. To create what we shall call an adaptive enterprise the information systems strategy should achieve both these goals: visibility and flexibility.
