MEGA International, a global software firm recognized as a leader in enterprise architecture for 13 consecutive years, held its annual virtual enterprise architecture conference on December 2. Open to all, this global event brought together more than 1,500 people with various backgrounds (business architects, data scientists, data managers, CIOs, risk managers, internal controllers, etc.) and provided insights on how the evolution of the role of the enterprise architect meets the transformation needs of organizations.
“We are delighted with the success of our MEGA EA Exchange event which brought together participants from 85 different countries. The conference was of particular interest to companies because, after this period of crisis, they must rethink their business model, organization, and processes as well as their products and services. In this context, the role of the enterprise architect becomes essential to advise companies on how to succeed and secure their transformation,” explains Luca de Risi, Chief Operating Officer of MEGA.
The MEGA EA Exchange virtual conference is a global event offering presentations, panel discussions, and discussion workshops. It began with the keynote by Luca de Risi discussing the evolution of the role of enterprise architect and the main trends in the market.
