9:00am-10:00am:  Enterprise Architecture Enabling Digital Business Transformation

Chittu Muthiyan, Vice President, Information Technology, Cision

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the technical framework of an enterprise, but it also transcends technology and integrates with the business. Therefore, the discussion and implementation of EA needs to done in an integrated, holistic manner. An integrated EA (business and technical) can provide the necessary support for a business transformation that makes the business ready for the variety of business and technological challenges it will face. For example, technologies such Big Data, mobile and cloud computing are all highly disruptive technologies that require a fine balance between their business and technical aspects as the organization moves forward.

In this session, attendees will learn how to they need to reinvent and/or refine their EA to embrace a digital transformation.

Content that will be covered:

• How to drive business agility
• An agile approach to drive business agility
• How to pull together Cloud, mobile, Agile development, and DevOps to drive rapid product development

10:30am-11:30am: Becoming Kubernetes Native: Why Application Composition Platforms Make Life Easier

Paul Hinz, Chief Executive Officer, Entando
Chris Lamoureux, Chief Operating Officer, Veriday

For businesses to adopt cloud computing in a way that aligns with their business strategy, enterprise architecture is an absolute necessity. If you run containerized deployments, you understand the benefits of Kubernetes.

Unfortunately, you also know how complicated it can be and how difficult it can be to gain developer adoption. ACPs are the future. Companies are moving towards being able to develop modular components on an Application Composition Platform in a Kubernetes environment.

In this live session, leading experts Paul Hinz and Chris Lamoureux will explain what ACPs are, how organizations can be future-ready, and how ACPs can create fusion teams.

11:30am-12:30pm:  Become Indispensable: Strengthen Your Enterprise Architecture Practice by Producing Valuable Business Outcomes

Dan Hebda, Chief Strategy Officer, MEGA International

Organizations have spent the past years focusing on efficiency, which meant when hit with a major disruption like COVID-19, many business processes were too brittle to quickly adapt and simply broke.  During the rebuilding process, Gartner indicates that leaders must design an architecture that: enables better access to information; can augment that information with new insights; and is composable, modular, and can change and respond more quickly as decisions are made.  But how do you do that?  A good first step is to add a business architecture top layer to your enterprise architecture efforts.  Using this lens, you can connect IT to business objectives (ensuring your efforts are business-outcome-driven) and therefore easily changeable when business objectives evolve or change.

In this session you will learn how to:

• Create a strategic roadmap where you can plan future business capabilities and other IT investments
• Understand how emerging technology can be leveraged to support business objectives
• Optimize your current IT portfolio for cost, lifecycle, and agility
• Ensure transformation projects are aligned with strategic objectives
• Implement business-outcome-driven enterprise architecture
