“Optimizing Today for the Next Wave of Business Tomorrow”
14 - 15 September 2009
Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, UK
This year’s Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit will explore the Next Wave of EA. The volatility of today's economy and resulting turbulence in government, industry and markets requires a steady hand to steer the course for the management of information technology.
Along with business leaders, enterprise architects must move to drive cost optimization today, while repositioning for the inevitable return to growth tomorrow. The key question for all business leaders is: "What will this industry look like when economies return to growth?"
MEGA will be at the Gartner EA Summit for the 4th year running, where we will be demonstrating the MEGA Modeling Suite with its enhanced business process improvement, IT planning, and enterprise architecture management capabilities. Among other enhancements are the MEGA IT Planning, which helps enterprises build and compare effective in-depth scenarios for IT system transformation, and the MEGA Process BPMN, a new module that supports the latest version of the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), the recognized industry standard developed by the Object Management Group (OMG).
