The Largest Premier Gathering of Enterprise Architecture Leaders & Executives sharing key solutions to current & future challenges
Welcome and introduction to Enterprise Architecture Live 2021, conducted by our esteemed chairperson, Jose Pires.
Description:
In this time of continuous transformation, mergers & acquisitions (M&As) are an indispensable lever to help enterprises innovate and grow revenue. In recent years, there have been upwards of 50k global M&A deals and transaction volumes of more than 3 trillion USD — numbers which are expected to grow in 2021 despite a decline in 2020.
From an IT perspective, integrating, merging, or carving out another company is a complex process requiring the leadership of enterprise architects. At this presentation, Christian Richter, LeanIX SVP Customer Success, will discuss what enterprise architects (EAs) must consider when transforming IT and why their role is key to the success of M&A activities.

Business capabilities are foundational elements of enterprise architecture in any business organisation. They organise and describe abilities an organisation needs to deliver its business objectives. Having a determined set of required capabilities is just a beginning, though.
How business capabilities can be used to effectively steer and support organisational development? How they can help to deliver expected business results?
The presentation will use real-life examples to discuss why every organisation should consider establishing and maintaining business capabilities.

To address the demands of digital business, many organizations adopt a product-centric approach todelivering solutions. This approach is based on creating cross-functional product-centric teams whichhave a high degree of autonomy to experiment, innovate, and iterate to continuously deliver value for the customers.
The product-centric model requires a nimble approach to architecture, in order to balance the teams’ freedom to innovate with the risks of creating redundant, overlapping, or disconnected solutions.In this session we will discuss how Architecture can provide valuable services in the product-oriented delivery model by influencing the digital business strategy, connecting strategy to execution, shaping the product portfolio, and enabling sound technology decisions to maximize value from technology investments.
Some key takeaways include:-
What is the role of Architecture in the product-oriented flow of work?
Which services should the Architecture team offer to create value for stakeholders?
How can Architects connect multiple perspectives: business strategies, IT strategies, product portfolios, and investment portfolios?
How the architecture teams can earn trust and avoid an “ivory tower” perception?

Abstract
Organizations have spent the past years focusing on efficiency, which meant when hit with a major disruption like COVID-19, many business processes were too brittle to quickly adapt and simply broke. During the rebuilding process, Gartner indicates that leaders must design an architecture that: enables better access to information; can augment that information with new insights; and is composable, modular, and can change and respond more quickly as decisions are made.
But how do you do that? A good first step is to add a business architecture top layer to your enterprise architecture efforts. Using this lens, you can connect IT to business objectives (ensuring your efforts are business-outcome-driven) and therefore easily changeable when business objectives evolve or change.
In this session you will learn how to:

IT executives have the mandate to ensure digital transformation happens – fast. They know agility is core to digital business success and are implementing Agile approaches such as SAFe, Scrum, Kanban and DevOps to enable IT to deliver products in ever shorter release cycles.
However, IT executives in large organizations are finding it difficult to keep agile development in line with the overall direction,plans and strategy of the organization. There needs to be a bi-lateral exchange between strategists and Lean product managers or there will be a cleft between how digital strategy is defined and what development teams work on. If not addressed, the cleft grows larger leading to poor Agile execution and uninformed decisions on strategy.
Speed-to-market is hampered, digital transformation loses intensity and sustainability, customer desires aren’t fulfilled and the company’s competitive edge is lost. Strategic portfolio management (SPM) integrates strategy management with Lean portfolio management and the feature portfolio on a collaborative platform so that all involved stakeholders see one source of truth and perform their planning and operational activities in the context of the (changing) business strategy.
Find out in this session how SPM can ensure your company’s success in rapidly becoming a competitive player in digital business.

As we know success rate of AI project are very low, many usecases reach till successful PoC phase by creating ML model and desirable outcome based on sample data BUT moving them to production with real data starts coming from various sources ex, S3, ERP , Social media etc, And then challenges starts with change in model during training, accuracy in Inference goes down, versioning of dataset, model explain ability becomes important. This session discuss systematic approach to be taking for scaling AI use cases.

Architecting an AI Ecosystem
This session will include a review of a recent worldwide Digital Transformation survey of 4,300 decision makers from mid to large enterprises. Although 2020 has been a year of characterized by tremendous change, it has also provided clarity for the need of organizations to be more agile, with a scalable and resilient IT infrastructure to manage future disruptions. The survey indicates that the top technology investments over the next one to three years include: security, privacy software, multi-cloud platforms, AI and data analytics and data management tools.
The use of AI and data analytics is expanding across the enterprise. Business leaders are realizing that AI and data analytics are key differentiators to their business and are adopting a data-driven culture to drive greater customer insights. These organizations need a platform that delivers an agile, open ecosystem for data scientists and developers to work efficiently together. An architected approach in building a data platform enables an organization to share data and maximize the benefits of their investments in advanced analytics.
