How have Enterprise Architecture practices evolved over the course of the past two years, and how have predominately offline organizations dealt with the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic?

1:30pm-2:30pm: Using Crowdsourcing to Capture Enterprise Architecture and Democratize It’s Use

Kirk Keller, IT Director – Enterprise Strategy and Architecture, University of Missouri 
Sara Rubenstein, Business Technology Analyst for Enterprise Architecture, University of Missouri 

COVID-19 has pushed Higher Education to adopt rapid transformations of technology to support core services such as education and research. However, central support and compliance requirements require an overall understanding of how disparate systems are connected. This presentation provides insight into how the University of Missouri (MU) uses crowdsourcing to both capture enterprise architecture as well as democratize its use.

This session will provide a real-world example covering:

– How MU built a metamodel to begin capture of the enterprise environment
– How MU leveraged existing processes such as project management and compliance
– How MU used the metamodel to create simple surveys and crowdsourced the building of the model

3:00pm-4:00pm:  How WAN Architecture Unlocks Real Digital Transformation

Channu Sannappanavar, Director Product Management, Aryaka Networks

The challenges thrown at enterprise IT teams change almost daily:  new workloads, remote teams, and this crazy (but true) expectation that everything needs to work securely all the time, every time!  Like many things, the solution is often simple but overlooked:  the WAN Architecture.

In this session, you will learn:

• The impact of remote teams on today’s WAN
• Securing the WAN for a distributed workforce
• How service consumption models limit or enable your ability to move quickly
