 Modeling and architecture are quickly taking hold as a best practice where business goals can be aligned with well-planned IT systems development and process support. Architecture is influencing strategic areas such as technology investment strategies, portfolio management, IT architecture and decision support.

When these goals are coupled with the objectives of enterprise architectures and system componentization, such as service-oriented architectures (SOA), the need for modeling and architecture only increases. Today's trends in modeling and architecture offer a tremendous advantage to organizations in terms of best practices and experiences, implementations and full lifecycle sharing of artifacts

In his keynote, Jan will:

  • Discuss how an enterprise architecture can be a decision support tool in the commercial and government markets
  • Address the different faces of enterprise architecture for portfolio management, technology investment strategies and IT architecture
  • Examine the emergence of SOA and its relationship to architecture
  • Discuss the role of TOGAF 8 in helping organizations to attain business value

Since founding US-based Popkin Software 18 years ago, Jan has been a leading advocate for enterprise architecture and modeling as a means for organizations to better manage their technology investments and improve their business' agility. Jan has worked with organizations to help them understand the relationships between their processes, data and systems. Come hear his 'behind the scenes' insights on the realities of enterprise architecture in today's world.
