Introduction
from the Chairs
Enterprise
Architecture Comes Of Age
For many years,
Enterprise Architects have promoted the idea of flexible, extensible
and reusable IT services. 2004 marks the year where Business Managers,
IT Vendors and Service Providers have also embraced these key principles.
Successful Chief Architects and CIOs will leverage this momentum
to maximize the impact of Enterprise Architecture in their organizations.
Indeed, 21st
century enterprise architects have been thrown into the spotlight
as their organizations begin to adopt service oriented architectures
and demand driven IT. This conference seeks to enlighten delegates
to successful strategies to deal with the challenges that enterprise
architects face, as well as to re-affirm the basics of mainstream
EA efforts through case studies from practitioners in G2000 companies.
Leading companies
are demonstrating their ability to chart a new road map for the
ITO that follows the path of their business future. These companies
are employing new leadership disciplines to transform their ITOs
into worthy partners within the business. The conference will focus
on the key management disciplines for successful IT organizations:
- IT Strategy
and Portfolio Management (IT PfM)
- Enterprise
Architecture (EA)
- Enterprise
Program Management (EPM)
