Today, consumer experience has advanced leaps and bounds because of modern technology and people’s lifestyles. With the advent of social communication, mobile devices and a multitude of easily available and accessible apps, consumers today expect highly flexible, user-friendly, quick and agile services from enterprises. Enterprises need to meet these high expectations if they are to remain competitive. More importantly, they should also revisit their technology to see whether they are better equipped to provide such services. Putting together a new enterprise architecture is hard. Dissecting an existing enterprise architecture and putting it back together with the necessary parts is even harder. The objective of this workshop is to identify the main pillars that are needed to build such an enterprise architecture. It will also explore how WSO2 can help you do so.

new channels
New challengers, but new
opportunities

5. Minimum Viable Product
Great ideas can be synchronous. One who
executes it first, wins the race

7. The richer tool-belt for an enterprise architect
 More options for the enterprise architect
 Richer language tools (JVM based, browser / client based, device based etc)

8. The enterprise architecture has become complex
and simpler
 It is complex macro scale and simpler at the micro scale
 At a micro scale modules are more granular and loosely coupled
 At a macro scale it is complex in,
 Message passing (with eventing, caching, state management)
 Orchestration & mediation
 Security and claim management
 Governance and analytics
