Track Keynote for the Enterprise Architecture Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Today's organizations need to make faster, better-informed decisions in order to seize business opportunities. Enterprise Architecture (EA) delivers enterprise blueprints for change and transformation, with visibility across strategy, business architecture, IT architecture and technology. Further, EA helps organizations prioritize IT investments to support business goals in order to maximize the business value from IT investments by installing a powerful communication and collaboration platform between business and IT stakeholders. Organizations that practice EA report more effective decision-making, improved business and IT alignment, IT cost savings, better insight during organizational transformations, and improved time-to-value of in their IT investments. EA also improves the success of IT Governance, SOA and Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives.
This track focuses on the management aspects of EA and therefore balances two areas of concern: Building an EA, and using an EA. Building the EA applies modeling notations, processes, methodologies, and tools surrounding various forms of business and solution architecture, addressing both current and future states. Using the EA addresses how those activities and associated artifacts are linked to solution requirements, software development, and application deployment processes. By addressing both building and using concerns, participants learn how to makes EA more actionable -- integrating strategy and solution delivery -- thereby improving time-to-value for affecting transformation and overall business results.
Participants who will find the greatest value from this track include: Business LOB Executives, IT Executives, Business Strategists, Enterprise Architects, Business Architects and Business Analysts. This track will also benefit IT Architects, Solution Architects, Software Architects, Data Architects and Project managers who are interested in best practices, real-world experiences, and the latest innovations in enhancing organizational agility and the communication and collaboration between business and IT.

Enterprise investments must yield even more value
Especially with today’s economic pressures
“Supporting investment in information technology is critical in order to
raise productivity… Those who maintain their investments in IT will be
primed for more aggressive growth when the economy recovers.”
– Helen Walters, BusinessWeek, January 26, 2009
“For Recession Help, an IT Innovation Tax Credit?”
“Transformation and innovation will lead recovery. When we come out
the other side of this crisis, companies will look quite different – and
technology will have been a catalyst in those changes.
– George Colony, Forrester Research, October 26, 2008
“Why this tech recession will be different”
“Although times are lean, many companies are finding that they can't
afford to postpone IT investments that lead to increased security,
efficiencies or revenues.”
– Denise Dubie, NetworkWorld, April 14, 2009
“Recession resistant: 10 technologies CIOs are still buying”

What is Enterprise Architecture?
IBM: “The Enterprise Architecture discipline defines and maintains the
architecture models, governance, and transition initiatives needed to
effectively co-ordinate semi-autonomous groups towards common
business and/or IT goals” 1
Gartner: “Enterprise architecture is the process of translating business vision and
strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and
improving the key principles and models that describe the enterprise's
future state and enable its evolution.” 2
Wikipedia:
“Enterprise architecture is the organizing logic for business processes
and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and standardization
requirements of the firm’s operating model. Practitioners are called
enterprise architects.”
