### Connectivity
It also allows people, systems, services, and data from different subunits and organizational levels to execute cross-organizational processes. The following quotes from employees in the case study organization support this view:  
\"Although our managers expect us to create connectivity architecture, we believe that without standardization, it is impossible to produce a system of systems and produce all kinds of nerve centers that talk to each other in a way that does not correspond to peer-to-peer architecture and enable one to connect with everyone--it means that the organization doesn't invest in architecture.\"  
\"As part of my believe regarding connectivity architecture, I manage the overall field of architecture, which develops the infrastructure that enables connectivity, data extraction, and all other digital capabilities.\"  
The networks interconnection is essential for creating a digital-friendly environment supporting employees' connectivity and access to digital services and data. It facilitates seamless and integrated network interactions, as managers encourage, enabling employees to use digital tools and exchange information across departments. Employees in the case study organization believe network interconnection is essential for using digital technology and collaboration. By connecting disparate networks within an organization, employees can more easily collaborate and share information, facilitating teamwork and innovation. Interconnecting various networks also makes digital services accessible from various points in the organization, making it easier for employees to use these services as part of their roles. However, the case study organization's diversity and network interconnection issues among its units present a significant challenge. This is due to the multitude and variety of networks in the organization. The following quotes from employees in the case study organization support this view:\"We are being encouraged to collaborate, while the greatest gap, in my opinion, is the networks interconnection within the organization. Due to the enormous number of networks we operate in, communication between networks is problematic.\"  
\"The organization doesn't see the importance of infrastructure to make digital services accessible as well as networks interconnection, resulting in connectivity flaws.\"  
Cloud infrastructure in an organization plays an important role in enabling a digital climate and facilitating the use of digital technology expected by employees. Cloud infrastructure provides nearly limitless computational, storage, and connectivity resources. It allows an organization to scale up or down based on its needs easily, providing the flexibility that traditional infrastructure might not be able to offer. With cloud infrastructure, data and applications can be accessed from anywhere at any time. Cloud infrastructure enhances employees' ability to work remotely and facilitates collaboration among team members who are not co-located. In our case study organization, employees claimed that unlimited computation, storage resources, and application as services align with their expectations for connectivity and data sharing within the organization. The following examples highlight the cloud's power in the context of connectivity, promoting digital climate:  
1. \"The cloud strategy is a classic example of how we tried to do something that would be multi-armed and lead the organization to new capabilities. Although we all understand the importance of cloud infrastructure, not enough budget is invested in creating a cloud environment--which means that it is not important enough.\"
2. \"...we expect to implement the cloud strategy to enable connectivity among everyone.\"
