### Common Technological Language  
The final axial code of the digital infrastructure is a common technological language that aids in establishing a digital climate. This is based on communication standards across organizational units to achieve interoperability among people, systems, services, and data. According to participants' perceptions, a common technological language significantly impacts the extent of the use of data, promotes the digital climate, and meets management's expectations regarding digital communication. It can enhance the speed and ease of communication and collaboration, reduce costs and complexity, and facilitate the creation of new applications and services. Moreover, the organization's substantial investments in establishing a common technological language have influenced its decisions to adopt it as a standard and contributed to its high digital climate. However, despite the observation that most interviewees from the case study organization seem to understand the importance of a common technological language, insufficient budget and attention are invested in creating commonality, implying that remaining disconnected is more comfortable which, in turn, impedes the development of a high digital climate. The data analysis revealed the three open codes of common technological language: common procedures, digital standardization, and digital language. The concept of common procedures is described as managers' behaviors that reflect efforts to promote a shared understanding of procedures and processes that enable different units with diverse systems and professional skills to plan, develop, and establish an organizational system. In our case study organization, senior managers explained the necessity of common procedures for achieving good results by using digital tools. \"We discovered the common procedures as an enabler to make the best performance of our units\". The concept of a common procedure is demonstrated in the following quotes:  
1. \"We understand our managers efforts to improve the building physical and digital platforms and infrastructures that allow for multiple software houses in different units to use the same procedures regarding system development, promoting cross-organizational connectivity and synchronization.\"
2. \"I'm expected to follow my manager behavior to ensure that we build a digital infrastructure based on consistent semantics and can support cross-organizational procedures from inception to delivery.\"  
The concept of common procedure is in line with what senior leaders in the organization expect in terms of enhancing cohesion and synchronization, as demonstrated in the following quote: \"I require the employees to adhere to standard operating procedures based on a standardized digital language that will allow us to communicate with one another in order to advance and enhance cohesion and synchronization within the unit and between units.\"  
Digital standardization facilitates interoperability and network connectivity, thereby ensuring organizational coherence. When managers are aware that their organization has the necessary digital tools, they can demand and encourage the employees to use various systems, as it enables data sharing and communication without the need for specific controllers or adapters, thus promoting organizational synchronization. Moreover, the usage of digital standardization gives the managers the ability to develop recognition and rewards tools. Without digital standardization, most digital tools and systems would not operate as expected, significantly hindering employees' ability to use digital technology. For example, employees from our case organization claimed that digital standardization is a new language that enables collaboration between different units, information systems, applications, etc. The necessity for digital standardization, in the form of a specified digital standard, is demonstrated in the following quotes:
