FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA ADVISORY: Forrester’s Enterprise Architecture Forum 2010, February 11-12, 2010, In San Diego
Cambridge, Mass., December 17, 2009 . . .
WHAT:
Forrester Research, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORR) Enterprise Architecture Forum 2010: Leveraging Architecture For Business Impact
Business demand for technology capabilities continues to grow, propelled by recognition of the impact technology has on business strategies and outcomes: what Forrester calls business technology. Technology trends — from cloud computing to consumerization to the componentization of packaged apps — open new doors for businesses to find solutions to their strategic needs. In such an environment, IT's relationship with the business must evolve toward partnership, and enterprise architecture (EA) provides the glue for this partnership. How can EA ensure that business and IT work together on these transformations and provide the lens through which business and IT evaluate these technologies together? And to be effective at challenges like these, how should EA leaders market their relevance to business and IT priorities?
Forrester's Enterprise Architecture Forum 2010 will address these questions and give attendees immediate actions they can take, as well as long-term strategies. In addition to Enterprise Architecture professionals, Application Development & Delivery professionals, Business Process & Applications professionals, Information & Knowledge Management professionals, and Infrastructure & Operations professionals will benefit from valuable keynotes and track sessions that center on topics such as using and developing capability maps and how application architectures change to support a mobile workforce and pervasive business intelligence.
