Enterprise Architecture – your organization’s key to success in the 21st century WHAT: Kent State University and the Enterprise Architecture Center of Excellence (EACOE) have partnered to present an Enterprise Architecture certification workshop Jan. 10-15, 2011. Visit http://iakm.kent.edu for registration information and more details. The EACOE is the independent, industry-wide practitioner-based source for advancing the implementation and understanding of enterprise architecture. Its models help enterprise stakeholders envision, plan and develop cohesive, flexible and adaptive solutions that become enduring enterprise assets. The techniques, methodologies and processes that make up EACOE’s robust body of knowledge are recognized as best practices and are used globally by more than 3,500 companies and 125,000 individuals. For more information about EACOE, visit http://eacoe.org/. EACOE typically offers the certification program only in Washington, D.C., or Los Angeles, but Kent State is bringing this opportunity to Northeast Ohio businesses for the first time as part of its Information Architecture and Knowledge Management program. Cost for the four-and-one-half day workshop is $2,995. Registration is limited to 20 participants. Visit http://iakm.kent.edu for registration information and more details. WHY: In this era of Enterprise change, the need to link sound corporate strategy and information strategy has never been greater. Technical strategies alone can’t ensure alignment and provide business value. To benefit from the information resources that are essential to your organization’s growth, you need to have an Enterprise Architecture aligned with your Business Strategy, which aligns with your Business Goals, and is capable of effectively addressing and managing risk. Having a Certified Enterprise Architecture professional on your team –someone whose credentials are known and respected around the world—can help ensure your organization’s success. WHEN: Jan. 10-15, 2011 WHERE: Kent State’s Stark Campus University Center, conveniently located just off I-77 in North Canton (20 minutes from downtown Akron, less than an hour from downtown Cleveland).
