Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF 9 Seminar - 26/27 November

As businesses become larger and more complex, identifying and coordinating projects becomes more difficult. To ensure that investment is optimised and success achieved, change must be defined and executed within a holistic framework. IBM is hosting a complimentary hot breakfast at the end of November, where they will be discussing the discipline of Enterprise Architecture and specifically the impact of TOGAF 9.

Enterprise Architecture provides businesses with an approach to identifying, planning, scoping and governing change initiatives that align IT and Business.

Join the IBM Rational Software team for the seminars being held in both Auckland and Wellington and learn how IBM Rational System Architect utilises TOGAF 9 to provide a bed-rock of standards for effective Enterprise Architecture.

As a bonus, Jamie Knowles, Worldwide Leader of the IBM Rational Community of Practice for Enterprise Architecture will be the guest speaker. Jamie, originally a graduate electrical engineer, moved into software engineering in 1993. He has been working in the field of Enterprise Architecture for nine years. Working for Popkin software then Telelogic before acquisition by IBM, Jamie contributed heavily to the specification and development of the System Architect product.
