Enterprise Architecture: Implementation Strategies

by Stan Locke download a PDF brochure

Description

This seminar will explore how to strategically implement Enterprise Architecture. It will look at how to bring together two apparently opposing conditions - the short term need to deliver a solution on time and within budget, and the long term adaptability requirements of the enterprise.
The course examines the underlying constructs of the Zachman Framework and the implications of 'Thinking Zachman' to give a more balanced view of the entire enterprise.
Given that architecting an Enterprise is fundamental to the ongoing success of an organisation, this course has attempted to bring real world examples of what to do and not to do.
The blending of consulting situations with the theory of the Zachman approach yields a most interesting set of practical guideposts to those working on engineering the enterprise.
