Pleased to say that I'm due to speak next Tuesday (the 24th of April) at the Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conference, 2007. John Spencer, the recently retired Director of The Open Group's Architecture Forum, kindly asked me if I'd like to present, and I was very happy to be able to accept.
I'm presenting on the topic of "Enterprise Architecture @ Sun Microsystems" and will be covering Sun's work in the Enterprise Architecture field - both internally in helping to manage our own IT / IS estate (utilising EA derived from DoDAF*) and externally with customers and partners, using a variety of EA Frameworks (from Zachman & ZFEA*, to the Open Group & TOGAF*).
The topics I'll be discussing include the use of EA internally at Sun to help drive down cost & complexity, the work that Sun's Consultancy team has done externally with major customers, including successes, best practises & lessons learnt, and the resulting innovative use of lightweight EA techniques in the pre-sales process to map customer estates, which developed from the experience gathered in those engagements.
The event is being hosted by the Open Group (here), the custodian's of TOGAF (more here). You can learn more about the event, including registration, here, plus there is a full conference program over here.
This is the 14th Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conference, and the second that I will have presented at, having spoken at last years conference in London. The organisers have put a short piece up about the presentation I'm making this year here.
If your going along to the conference on Tuesday I look forward to seeing you there - I'll be writing up my experience of the conference, as well as posting my presentation, after attending.
