Enterprise Integration – A Short Paper

In the early hours of the morning, over the past few days, I have created a short paper on enterprise integration. This paper discusses the most common approaches to enterprise integration.

I have uploaded the paper so it is available publicly to download. You can download a copy here.

Architecture; how does it save money and reduce risk in an organisation?

Recently I was was asked how architecture saves money and reduces risk in an organisation. I had 15 minutes to present a simple answer and demonstrate an example of how high-level analysis improves overall costs and reduces the risks as well as explain the challenges.

I created a presentation to describe this topic, with the agenda below.

1 – What is Architecture?

2 – Business challenges without architecture?

3 – Why is architecture important?

4 – Real world example, shaping the architecture

5 – How architecture reduces risks and costs?

6 – The Endgame

The presentation is available to download here.
