The current economic climate around the world is causing previously unseen stresses and strains in all organizations. All industry sectors are experiencing the impact. Companies, large and small alike, face uncertain times ahead. Therefore, ensuring your organization is now built on a solid Enterprise Architecture with integral security protocols is more important than ever. This is your opportunity to learn from, and quiz, world-class experts about the ways in which you can take appropriate steps to minimize the disruption to your organization. You can then prepare for the upturn in the economic cycle and the new business environment that emerges.

This year's EAPC, hosted by The Open Group South Africa, explores the varied journeys practitioners and organizations have undertaken in their bids to implement enterprise architectures (EA).

Some companies have established repeatable processes and used their EA capabilities to deliver business benefits to their organizations; others have lost skills and work products as a result of organizational change and a lack of support. Individuals have grown from entrants to the discipline to become EA professionals while others are still finding their way on the career path that best suits them.

This is an opportunity to interact with members of the enterprise architecture community and share in their experiences. The conference promises relevant presentations, workshops, panel discussions, networking events and an exhibition all geared to provide a broad view of enterprise architecture and all its facets.
