T1: Enterprise Architecture Principles and Values--Straight from the Source!

For those who understood the value proposition, Enterprise Architecture has always been important. Yet it is only relatively recently that the concepts and benefits of Enterprise Architecture have started to be embraced by a significant number of organizations at a senior level. Perhaps, like the Internet - which existed for almost 25 years before it finally captured widespread attention - the time for Enterprise Architecture has finally arrived!

Given this resurgent interest, who better to explain the principles behind Enterprise Architecture than the man himself, John Zachman, the originator of the "Framework for Information Systems Architecture" During this workshop John will explain how and why Enterprise Architecture provides value, and the four reasons why you "do" Architecture including alignment, integration, change management and reduced time to market. Without Architecture, there is NO WAY you can do any of these things. This presentation begins with a brief definition of what Enterprise Architecture is, and then develops the logic as to its value to the Information Age Enterprise.
