9:00AM – 10:00AM: “Enterprise Architecture vs Enterprise Security Architecture: Same Difference“

NICK MURISON

Chief Information Security Office at Ardoq

ANGEL ALONSO

Team Leader GRC at mnemonic

Organizations can often be challenged by new security threats, added complexity, and changing regulatory requirements, in addition to resources constraints – both when it comes to people and budgets. Being confident that all your investments are justifiable and effective requires a level of visibility and situational awareness that can be hard to achieve. In this session we’ll discuss how to achieve this and how Enterprise Architects and Security Teams can build great partnerships by applying an Enterprise Security Architecture framework that aligns with an organization’s existing Enterprise Architecture.

10:00AM – 11:00AM: “Delivering value as a Citizen Developer“

ANANDAN KUMARAN
CTO – TINYMAGIQ

With the measuring capability of, Lo code and No code platforms, the ability to deliver value has increased significantly. This new capability has the potential to decrease the gap between the business and technology, which has been a challenge, for decades for the architects designing enterprise solutions.

This new capability has the potential to decrease the gap between the business and technology, which has been a challenge, for decades for the architects designing enterprise solutions. With the LCNC capabilities the architects can be armed with a new capability to enable the business users to solve the problem for themselves.

This means moving a lot of tech solutions into the hands of the business users themselves, and how can the architect manage this transition, because till now the IT solutions where with the IT department.

11:00AM – 12:00PM: “Innovation – Unlocking Value through a Systems Approach“

12:00PM – 01:00PM: “Who owns this code? Examing Ownership Concepts for Collaborative Development“

CLARE DILLON

Executive Director, InnerSource Commons

Code ownership is an important concept in software development practices, and many developer portals now have a field where they require every project to have a “code owner”. But problems arise when everyone has a different definition of what being a code owner means. Not knowing who the owner is can cause confusion and friction in projects that are being collaboratively developed across organizations. Questions that need answers are: Who is making architecture decisions for this project? Whose budget pays for this feature enhancement? Who do I call at 2am if the project is down? Who should get the credit for that amazing feature enhancement, achieved through a code contribution from another team? Each case can be a different way of looking at code ownership. This talk will examine what we mean when we talk about a “code owner” and will cover some of the many problems that inconsistent definitions within an organization can result in when you are trying to collaborate on code.

05:00PM – 06:00: “Save our Species for a Sustainable World, driven by an Enterprise Architecture approach.“

SUNIL MYSORE KEMPEGOWDA
Principal Enterprise Architect at CloudTechInfo

Digital Transformation is inevitable for private or public organizations, and it’s accelerated due to COVID-19. Due to innovation, technology is a commodity affordable, and the procurement model changed from upfront cost to pay-as-you-go, contributing to the wastage of resources.
Due to Global warming, one-third of the Earth’s animal and plant species may be extinct by 2050 if current greenhouse gas emissions trajectories continue.
The presentation gives an awareness of sustainability and an approach where the reduced wastage contributes to reducing Species (humans too) extinction.
