About This Event

This highly practical 2-day Conference and series of workshops is aimed specifically at Enterprise Architecture Practitioners and those directly involved in the management and oversight of Enterprise Architecture.

Today’s CEOs know that the effective management and exploitation of Information Technology is the key to business success. An Enterprise Architecture provides the strategic context for the evolution of Information Technology within the enterprise, in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment.

An effective Enterprise Architecture also enables managed innovation within the enterprise, by enabling the right balance to be achieved between IT efficiency and business innovation. Individual business units can innovate safely in their pursuit of competitive advantage; at the same time, the needs of the organization for an integrated IT strategy are assured, permitting the closest possible synergy across the extended enterprise.

This event focuses on the use of enterprise architecture for the effective creation of real business value. It provides experience-based insight into approaches and methods that have proven effective in developing enterprise architectures around the world. Just as importantly, it also aims to clarify the limitations that exist in this still immature field.

What Makes This Event Unique

The Open Group is uniquely positioned within the IT industry to bring together the buy side and the supply side to agree the real requirements that the industry needs to address, and effective methods of addressing them.

Within the Architecture domain, The Open Group has been active over the last decade, developing and making freely available its own architecture framework - TOGAF. Developed by The Open Group's Architecture Forum, TOGAF is today accepted and used around the world as a genuinely open framework and method for Enterprise Architecture.

The Open Group provides in this unique Conference a forum in which all constituencies and stakeholders in Enterprise Architecture can come together to learn the approaches and methods that have proven effective in developing enterprise architectures around the world. Just as importantly, it aims to clarify the limitations that exist in this still immature field.
