The Open Group Seattle
2010
February 1-5, 2010, Seattle, Washington, US
Objective of Meeting
This conference addressed some of the key issues in IT today:
Architecture – To better understand the future role
of enterprise architecture (EA) as it is more closely aligned with
business decision-making at a ‘board room’ level.
Security – To move information security management
from an art to a science.
Cloud Computing – The Cloud is no longer just in
the ‘Blue Sky’ but is being accepted as a key element for
enterprise-wide IT systems evolution.
Summary
Each day of the three-day conference included a mix of plenary
presentations, with industry leaders from near and far sharing their
insights on the day’s theme; and a set of parallel tracks examining
specific areas in depth. The various tracks delivered presentations by
enterprise architecture professionals from both vendor and customer
organizations; and provided experience-based insight into the approaches
and methods that have proved most effective for developing architectures
around the world.
