IT Architecture Project Overview
2012
• The Approach: This is larger than any single company agenda; it requires an open and collaborative approach
• The Team: We have assembled a Collaborative with:o The thought leadership (industry, academia, industry
associations & individual contributors) to ensure the vision is grounded in assessment and education best practices
o The technical capability to deliver• The Process: Experienced and Agile; sustainability via a
community approach • The Goals: Open, Flexible, Standards Based, and
Componentized
