Enterprise Architecture - Thrives

Even in these troubled economic times EA activities are up

Enterprise ArchitectureIn spite of the recession there has been an increase in renewed and reinvigorated Enterprise Architecture EA efforts with the driver being the financial crisis. Many business leaders are demanding a process that simultaneously optimizes cost allocations (without mortgaging the future) and identifies innovation opportunities (technologically and within an organization's marketplace).

  • An increased interest in supporting enterprise information architecture and enterprise business architecture, in addition to enterprise technology architecture
  • A high level of interest in leveraging EA to support cost-cutting and cost-optimization efforts
  • A recognition that organizations that use EA to manage real business and IT change can result in an increased impact on transformational spending and a reduction in operational spending
  • A large interest in EA best practices and worst practices, as well as interest in leveraging EA during the downturn
  • An increasing recognition by many CIO and CEO that their top issues and challenges with EA are more about people and business and less about technology
  • An Increasing interest in diverse approaches for supporting EA that meet different business and people requirements

To that end CIOs need to direct their organizations and staff to consider EA in their current and future activities.

IT Salaries Fall - Demand Down for IT Professionals

Mid Year 2009 Salary Survey Released 

Janco released its 2009 Mid Year IT Salary Survey which shows that overall pay has declined for IT Professionals in the past 18 months. Janco also found that demand is down for IT Professionals. The CEO of Janco, Victor Janulaitis stated, "The current economic climate with its cost cutting mind sets, business closures, and extensive outsourcing has put such great pressure on the IT job market that overall pay has been impacted. Added to that many 'baby-boomers' who had planned on retiring in the next few years are not leaving the job market and you have more potential employees than positions available."
