10:00 am - 10:45 am EDT Use EA to Focus IT Investment on Business Innovation

Ali Rizvi - Head of Product Management, Software AG

Sustainable business innovation requires a constant flow of funding for IT investment. This means aligning with business on spending priorities to ensure only those projects are funded that support the business strategy and are feasible. EA helps optimize and focus capital expenditures (CapEx) by exposing redundancy in projects, flawed solution design, and where strong IT is needed to support business capabilities critical to market success. In providing the means to assess the project portfolio from different perspectives such as business value, architectural impact and risk, EA eliminates CapEx waste and ensures maximal return on IT investment.

Enable fast and high-quality decisions on changes to the IT portfolio that support business initiatives
Plan and manage IT investment that supports current and future business strategy
