Call For Papers - CFP

An IT environment that is highly complex & costly - organizations were spending more and more money extending, enhancing, and maintaining existing IT systems and services

Ineffective business alignment - organizations were finding it more and more difficult to keep their increasingly expensive IT systems aligned with business needs and drive the level of innovation required to grow the business

Bottom line is spending effectiveness and providing agile technology services

Areas Covered in the Session:

What is EA?

EA provides the bridge between business strategies and IT implementation

Enterprise Architecture is all about managing change

Enterprise Architecture is a Process and a Thing

Many enterprise-architectural methodologies have come and gone in the last 20 years. We will discuss some of the more popular ones.

EA programs must address the components:

Enterprise Application Portfolio

Enterprise Technical Architecture

Key characteristics of effective EA Programs

Strong IT and business sponsorship

Sustained Investment

Clear goals ? practical, achievable, and measurable
