Hot Tech: Code Search Leading up to the year 2000, ERPs were the big hit. Then came big data and now with everyone going digital we’re in the era of big code. Heavy coding and large development teams used to be limited to software companies or maybe banks. Now everyone is building sizable development teams that are cod...

2nd Hot Tech topic of the week

Computer Brains (AI/ML) I’m always skeptical when a new tech fad comes along. Initially I thought Cloud was just a rebranding of outsourcing the tech stack (IaaS). I was wrong. The cloud tech disruptor is so much more. I still think “Digital Economy” or Digital Enterprise” is just a branding thing to sell consultin...

RPA - Just another low-code/no-code tool? Remember a while back when Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was such hot tech. Gartner defines RPA as “the market for licensed software platforms used for building scripts to integrate any application via a user interface and a control dashboard or orchestrator. RPA platforms automate repetitive, ...

Thank you Camp IT for inviting me to talk about developing a strategy. With DWaaS now readily available to everyone the possibilities to create an effective and efficient data strategy is easier than ever. Let me share my experiences as an IT executive and former at fortune 100 companies.
I recorded this session after the event as they do not allow live recording. Makes sense as Camp IT wants dialog in their workshops and recording often prevents people from openly sharing their experiences.

EA's conundrum with roles and responsibilities

When everyone does everything… My last blog was on how important it is to have clear roles and responsibilities. More specifically, why it is even more important for Enterprise Architecture (EA) as every IT leader likes to do EA work. If you do not have the support from your CIO to enforce EA roles and responsibilities you’ll h...

“Certainly I accept my role and responsibility as a public figure and a lot of it you take the good with the bad, dealing with different adversities in life, you just try to do the best you can do.” Tom Brady

Yesterday I blogged about how critical roles and responsibilities are to run any successful organization but especially important for Enterprise Architects (EAs). https://www.eaadvisor.com/post/why-does-everyone-hate-racis As with Brady every role has responsibilities and accountabilities you might not love. What distinguishes excellence is to deal with it.

When it comes to an effective Enterprise Architecture operating model its not about having a RACI its about enforcing it.

Why does everyone hate RACIs? For any operating model including Enterprise Architecture (EA) clear roles and responsibilities are critical. EA having the privilege of being one of the most misunderstood IT organizations around, makes it even more important for them. Unfortunately, people hate defining roles and responsibilities....

Data rules! Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been going thru five TOGAF* principles on data. To sum it all up I can’t stress the importance of data. In a field called INFORMATION Technology it shouldn’t really surprise us that data is the critical component that holds it all together. Applications use master da...
