META Group and DCI Present:
The
Enterprise Architecture Conference V1.0
Case
Studies & Best Practices for Engineering
Adaptive Infrastructure
December 2-4,
1997
Orlando, Florida
Dear Colleague,
IT
Architecture Has Become CRITICAL But Most Are
Failing!
Enterprise-wide IT
architecture has become ‘the’ critical
element in allowing IS to align with the
business, enable rapid changes in business
processes, and reduce the long term Total Cost of
Ownership of a company’s technology assets.
Unfortunately, most companies do not have an
effective architecture strategy just when it is
needed most! This problem is compounded by the
increasing rate of change in both the business
and technology -- with even greater challenges
confronting IS, from electronic commerce to
mobile computing and network computers, while
companies are still struggling with the
trade-offs between 2-tier, 3-tier, and n-tier
styles. All of which must be integrated with an
evolving legacy environment and relying upon the
existing IS organization and staff.
Bringing
Together Fortune 1000 ‘Architects’ Who
Have Done It!
The META Group and
DCI are excited to introduce the first
conference to address Enterprise
Architecture. Over 50% of our speakers have been
directly involved in architecture efforts such as
Nike, Bank of America, Federal Express, Exxon,
Chrysler, MCI, United, Aetna, Levi Strauss,
Kodak, PECO, and dozens of other private and
public sector organizations. They have struggled
with the issues of ‘selling’ senior
management, aligning with the business, and
re-engineering the IT organization. Come talk to
them about their ‘hands-on’ experience,
and talk the leading architecture consultants as
well as leading vendors who have participated in
these critical efforts.
This conference is
targeted not only at ‘architects’ but
IT executives, managers, and staff who must
support the architecture, as well as corporate
executives and end users who have critical
business requirements requiring IT support.
Virtually every IT discipline and project is
impacted as a result of enterprise architecture
efforts, from application development to network
design, from data warehouse to HELP desk, from
systems management to IT costing. The impact of
the enterprise architecture is pervasive.
- Learn first
hand what companies such as Nike, Bank of
America, and others have encountered as
they created an enterprise architecture
- A roadmap for
tactically and strategically developing
and implementing an IT architecture that
is aligned with and enables business
strategy, and facilitates both BPR and
continuous improvement
- Strategies
for selling and communicating the
architecture to senior management and the
IT organization
- Best practice
examples in architecture design,
analysis, construction, deployment,
migration, and maintenance
- How to
perform ‘architecture triage’,
construct an ‘actionable’
architecture (as opposed to shelfware),
create an ‘auditable’ design,
‘tuning’, and approaches to TCO
and ROI
- The classes
and categories of enterprise
architectures, their strengths and
weaknesses
- How the major
vendors approach enterprise architecture
including their ‘blueprints’ --
Microsoft, IBM, HP, Compaq, Oracle, SAP,
Netscape, Sun, SCO, Baan and others
- How to take
into account the requirements of packaged
software versus custom developed software
- Leveraging
and integrating next generation
technologies including Internet,
e-commerce, & mobile computing
You can’t
afford to miss this conference! I hope to see
you in Orlando!
