"Enterprise Architecture has evolved significantly over the past few
years into something that can truly transform business," said Allen Brown,
president and CEO, The Open Group. "Our goal at The Open Group's upcoming
Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conference in Paris is to explore how
architects can align EA with business goals to have a profound impact
across their organizations and create tremendous competitive advantage."
The three-day event will cover how Enterprise Transformation can be
attained by more effectively aligning business goals and IT architecture
through innovative uses of Information Systems Architecture and EA. In
