The Data-Centric Enterprise: A Blueprint for Enterprise Architectures

In the upcoming EA summit 2006 (Key Biscayne) http://www.ftponline.com/conferences/eas/2006/strategy.aspx#datacentric I will speak about EA patterns.

Patterns have been in use for quite some time to work with system architecture and software design. Currently, enterprise architecture is one of the more complex undertakings in many organizations, and there are many enterprise architecture frameworks that organizations can adapt and use for the task. While those frameworks can be helpful for specific approaches and methods, they are not helping with the content of the outcomes, which very often is a task they have to work with alone. Enterprise architecture patterns should help with the outcome's content. Patterns suggest a set of blueprints for each one of the different architectures, and therefore decrease the resources and time needed to get successful and agile enterprise architectures. a simple and clear way of finding a match between enterprise and pattern is by using style. Styles employ a simple life metaphor to describe much more complex activities. This presentation will provide a discussion of design patterns, architecture patterns, enterprise architecture patterns, and styles. In particular, the discussion will provide insight into a new style that describes data-centric enterprises and provides the blueprints and proven concepts for business, information, system, and infrastructure architectures.

EA patterns are important part of NAAF continuum.

We hope to see you there.
