Presentation
The Disciplines of IT Architecture - A Service Provider Perspective
PwC’s IT Effectiveness practice helps our clients get the most out of their IT investments. We advise clients in areas such as sourcing / procurement, service delivery and management, IT projects, architecture, IT costing, IT function management, and IT skills and people.

At PwC we use architecture in all the above areas to define an end-to-end framework from business goals and requirements through to detailed technical solutions. In this session we will discuss some client examples where we have used architecture, including TOGAF, to ensure that requirements traceability is maintained, risks can be exposed and managed, the impact of various technical approaches can be assessed, and a coherent approach can be maintained across a number of distinct projects.
