CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan 05, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR)
WHAT: Forrester
Research, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORR) Enterprise
Architecture Forum: Harnessing Process, Information, And Technology
For Business Impact
Today's most successful companies recognize that they're operating in an
era of digital business. This means continuously refining and adapting
core business processes and effectively coupling information and
technology to these processes. But it's not always a seamless task. In
most organizations, processes are uncharted; the available information
is unreliable; and technology has created stovepipes, not integrated
platforms for business execution. To optimize operating models and adapt
to the changing business ecosystem, the traditional individual treatment
of process, information, and technology must become a thing of the past.
Through keynotes and four tracks of sessions, Forrester's Enterprise
Architecture Forum 2011 will help IT professionals achieve an
integrated understanding of business, information, and technology
architecture -- and the benefits possible when these domains are
harnessed together. Attendees will explore four distinct areas:
connecting business process and architecture, creating business-driven
technology strategies, key technology trends to watch in 2011, and real
world best practices from 2010 EA Award Winners.
WHEN: February 17-18, 2011
WHERE: The Palace Hotel, San Francisco
2 New Montgomery Street
San Francisco, CA 94104
+1 415.512.1111
WHO: More than a dozen Forrester industry-leading analysts will
be joined by featured guest speakers, including:

Management Agency

Tom Mertes, Director IT Strategy & Planning, Thrivent Financial for

-
Rebekah Metz, Director, US Commercial Operations Division, Pfizer

Attendees will also hear from three of the 2010 EA Award Winners --
Aetna, Barclays, and Discover Financial Services -- recognized by
Forrester, in conjunction with InfoWorld magazine, for their
high-impact EA programs. Additionally, attendees will have the
opportunity to schedule One-On-One Meetings with Forrester analysts and
to network with peers. Members of the Enterprise Architecture Council
and CIO Group will attend Forrester
Leadership Boards meetings the day prior to the Event.
