    Business Architecture Home Page

    Welcome to the dedicated Business Architecture Section of BPMInstitute.org.

    Business Architecture is defined as "A formal blueprint of governance structures, business semantics and value streams across the extended enterprise."

    As with the above definition, which encompasses not only IT but the business infrastructure, this BA Section will address a broad range of topics. We will connect these topics through articles by a variety of guest authors as well as presentations and working sessions by industry thought leaders and practitioners at our BA Conference Series.

    Topics covered will include many of the most cited issues around Business Architecture. This includes:

    • Business Architecture Requirements and Strategies
    • Business / IT Alignment
    • Strategic Application & Data Architecture
    • Model-Driven Architecture
    • Architecture-Driven Modernization
    • Deployment Strategies: Making BA Work

    By: Geoffrey Balmes, Senior Business Architect, Collaborative Consulting, LLC

    Business / IT Architecture Alignment: Turning Business Strategy into Actionable Results

    Presented by William Ulrich, President, Tactical Strategy Group, Inc.

     

    Course Description:
    Executives have mandated deployment of new strategies and the need to get more productivity from their workforce. This translates into new product and service deployment, business unit consolidation, new market exploration and a myriad of other actions. These activities, in turn, spawn a demand for infrastructure upgrades and technology redeployment. Unfortunately, the gap between business strategy, essential requirements and delivery of actionable results is growing.
