9th Enterprise Architecture Conference and Exhibition

Enterprise architectures affect an agency’s entire IT company and helps build a community and integrated chain of improved business practice areas.
Presented by 1105 Government Information Group, the Enterprise Architecture Conference will discuss the correlation between enterprise architecture and other agency management disciplines – strategic planning, capital planning and investment control (CPIC), performance, program and portfolio management.
