Digital Transformation is all the rage. But unlike some overhyped buzzwords, it is real, it is happening now, and much faster than we think. As with other enterprise initiatives, it needs to be met with a combination of experimentation, innovation, thought, and yes, Architecture. To deliver on the promise of transformative user experience across all channels, all the time, requires consistent and coordinated information that doesn’t just happen by itself. In fact, IDC predicts that 60% of siloed digital transformation initiatives will not deliver or scale due to a lack of architecture. But we know it doesn’t have to be that way.

This session distills IDC’s extensive research in digital transformation and strategic architecture into an action plan for business architects and what they need to do to make themselves and their architectures foundational to their company’s digital transformation.

Attendees Will:

• Learn what the forces of digital transformation are, and more importantly what they mean in terms of new architectural requirements
• Explore a case study of business architecture in digital transformation
• Understand the opportunities for business architecture in achieving success and avoiding pitfalls
