KEYNOTE: Surfing the
Tsunami: Riding the Waves of Change to Bring Business Value
Michael Rosen, Director, Enterprise Architecture, Cutter Consortium
So much is happening in IT these days; it's hard to keep
up with the tsunami of change. But, as Enterprise Architects, it's our job to
not only be abreast of the latest developments, but to put them into
perspective within our enterprise. A solid conceptual landscape of each
architectural domain can help architects position the changes to fit their
enterprise and provide maximum value. As always, we need to respond to new
business demands. But now more than ever, new avenues exist to create
additional opportunities for the business. This keynote, illustrated with case
study examples of topics such as cloud computing, Enterprise 2.0, semantic
technologies, green IT, will position the changing concerns of enterprise
architecture to enable you to use them to deliver value faster within your own
enterprise.
- Impact of new developments on enterprise architecture
- Architectural landscape concepts and relationships
- Driving business value with IT opportunity

KEYNOTE: Architecting for an Age of Intelligence
Don Tapscott, Chairman, nGenera
The global economic
crisis of 2009 was a wakeup call to the world. We need to rethink and rebuild
many of the organizations and institutions that have served us well for
decades, but now have come to the end of their life cycle. As the crisis has
spread to other sectors in the economy and even other sectors of society, it is
exposing structural weaknesses and modes of operation that no longer nurture
social and economic growth. At the same time, the digital revolution is driving
new opportunities and enabling new business and operating models. Don Tapscott,
best-selling author, will provide a unique insight into the contribution that enterprise
architects must make to enable the redesign of organisations and their
information systems for an Age of Intelligence. as depicted in his upcoming book MACROWIKINOMICS: Rebooting Business and the World (September 2010, co-author
Anthony D. Williams.) |

KEYNOTE: Case Study Examples
of the Zachman Framework
John Zachman, President, Zachman International
For many years, John
has argued that engineering an Enterprise is far different from building and
running systems. Engineering an Enterprise requires single variable,
"primitive" models, whereas building and running systems requires multiple
variable, "composite" models. If you want the Enterprise to be "architected",
then the "composite" implementation (systems) models must be created from
components of "primitive" engineering (architecture) models. If the "composite"
implementation models are created before any "primitive" models exist, then the
Enterprise will be implemented (running systems), but NOT "architected." The
problem is, for the last 60 or 70 years, those of us who come from the
information community have been solely focused on building and running systems
(implementations) not on engineering Enterprises (architecture). We
build and use "composite" models. We don't relate to "primitive" models because
we don't build or use "primitive" models. This case study is an attempt to
illustrate what "primitive" models look like, what you use them for and how you
could create "composite" models (implementations) from the "primitive" models
(architecture). |
