Forrester Meetup: Outcome-Driven Enterprise Architecture

Despite its widespread adoption in mature organizations, enterprise architecture (EA) continues to suffer from perception problems.

This session gives technology leaders in Asia Pacific and beyond a holistic view of how to bridge different worlds within EA practices, accelerate digital transformation, and become future fit.

Key takeaways:

• What defines a high-performing EA practice and the business value that it offers
• The approach that EA leaders should take to transform their EA practices
• The most critical factors impacting technology architecture in the cloud-native era
