For many organizations, the enterprise architecture (EA) practice began with a technology-only focus. But businesses have become digital, and waves of SOA and BPM adoption have required architects to move EA closer to the business. Business processes, business services, business events, and the information they generate and consume are now in scope, driving architects to broaden their skill sets — and their networks. Meanwhile, the technology is more important than ever as the most advanced organizations make quantum leaps in agility with technology-enabled innovations.
What must enterprise architects do to elevate their architecture practice out of the technology trenches to enable new business capabilities? And what technology will architects need to ensure the architecture they are planning will elevate their business’ capabilities to the next level of productivity and innovation? Forrester’s Enterprise Architecture Forum EMEA 2009 will show you how your EA program can build your digital business with the technologies and architecture practices that drive innovation and create business value.
This Event will examine the key issues for making enterprise architects and your EA programs more successful.
- EA best practices. We’ll provide advice on critical success factors such as communicating the value of EA, aligning business and technology planning, EA team organization, architect training and certification, and many other topics that EA must get right to succeed.
- Hot topics in EA. Issues such as innovation, service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process management (BPM), event processing, and business architecture are top-of-mind issues for enterprise architects. This is the only event of its kind to weave all of these concepts together.
- Application architecture and software infrastructure. Our top analysts will discuss the latest trends in the technologies that can make your applications what they need to be: agile, functionally robust, easy to integrate, and able to leverage Web 2.0 communities.
- Forecast and prepare for future challenges in business and information collaboration.
