John Zachman, Chief Executive Officer of the Zachman Institute for Framework Advancement (ZIFA) – “Enterprise Architecture: Value Proposition”

Most people still think that the way to acquire funding for new systems is "cost-justification." I would suggest that this is a vestige of the past … the Industrial Age. The game has changed!! We are now clearly well into the Information Age and the value proposition for systems has radically changed. Now Architecture … Enterprise Architecture … plays a central role in providing value to the Enterprise. There are four reasons why you "do" Architecture including alignment, integration, change management and reduced time to market. Without Architecture, there is NO WAY you can do any of these things. This presentation begins with a brief tutorial on the Framework for Enterprise Architecture to define what Enterprise Architecture is, and then develops the logic as to its value to the Information Age Enterprise.

He will examine the various components required for achieving the integrated information society, and explain what position the IETF aims to fill within that framework.
