What does architecture for digital transformation look like?
Is your organization undergoing a digital transformation initiative? Then you know how important architecture and technology is to building a sustainable foundation. Yet so much has changed in the past two or three years that it’s hard to know what that should look like. The environment is now part of a larger business ecosystem. Scale, speed, and scope are greatly expanded. Business architecture is different. Information and data architecture are different. Application architecture is different. Technology architecture is different. Security architecture is different. And, how they all fit together is different, too.
During this two-day training session, Cutter Senior Consultant Mike Rosen will share the requirements for the new digital economy and describe the new “Digital Business Platform” necessary to meet those requirements and sustain success. You and your team will understand the overall architecture needed to create that platform and dive deep into the new business, information, application, technology, performance, and security architectures that comprise it. A detailed case study is woven throughout the course to illustrate the platform, architectural tradeoffs, and a wide variety of work products across all domains. Interactive exercises give you an opportunity to use the new techniques in real time.
Discover why your organization should use a business architecture and value delivery–based approach to digital strategy. Watch the complete webinar now.
"Accommodating the speed of business change is the most important architectural quality we can build into our systems today. What does that mean? It means we make different tradeoffs than we made before. It means we trade off other things, such as complexity, for the ability to change quickly."
—Mike Rosen, Senior Consultant, Cutter Consortium
