Bridging the Gap Between Business and IT Strategy

Aligning Enterprise Architecture with Business Strategy

In order to be flexible, agile and highly responsive to market conditions, organizations are increasingly relying on IT. As a result, these IT systems are becoming more and more complex and costly.

New IT solutions and technologies emerge on a daily basis and draw the attention of organisations seeking to expand business capabilities and improve the efficiency of current business operations. The most prominent solutions arriving in the market, cloud computing and mobile devices, provide a vast range of opportunities to add value to your business and to gain a competitive advantage.

Enterprise Architecture 2011 in Melbourne will allow you to benchmark, network & will provide the latest up to date strategies to cope with the rapidly changing enterprise landscape.

Establishing a sound enterprise architecture will enable you to develop an IT strategy that does not constrain but drives your business.

Organisations constantly seek to improve the effectiveness of IT management while orienting themselves to future scenarios. Enterprise Architecture is a key strategic enabler for managing business change and risk. The IQPC Enterprise Architecture Forum 2011 is a welcome opportunity for an experienced group of practitioners who are responsible for a wide range of initiatives to exchange ideas that are worth spreading.

“IQPC’s Enterprise Architecture Forum 2011 will bring together both International and Australian senior-level professionals, sharing personal experiences on how to use enterprise architecture to bring value to your business. Whether you are establishing or have already applied an EA to your organization, you can’t afford to miss this conference.”

Why should you attend?

Reading books and on-line discussions will only get you so far. Learning from experienced professionals, who applied Enterprise Architecture in their organisation, will enable you to develop new strategies and anticipate for the pitfalls ahead.

You cannot afford to miss the only B2B industry gathering that will give you the tools to arm yourself with best-practice strategies to establish a streamlined Enterprise Architecture that will support the business and take maximum advantage of emerging and disruptive technologies.

As specialists, we are always busy and it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind. The IQPC Enterprise Architecture seminar is a good way to refresh ideas, share knowledge and learn from other’s experiences. It is rare that so many professionals get together, I am looking forward to the sessions and workshops to further my expertise in this field.
