SIM Enterprise Architecture Working Group Launching Survey Original announcement from SIM_News@simnet.org on Tue, 28 Aug 2007 IT executives consistently report such issues as IT and business alignment, strategic planning, creating an information architecture, staffing, and business process reengineering (among others) as their top management concerns. These concerns are encompassed in the practice of enterprise architecture (EA). EA represents a new way of thinking about the enterprise, and a new way of managing the enterprise and its IT. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke calls it "intangible capital - figuring out what to do with the computer once it's out of the box." The SIM Enterprise Architecture Working Group, whose membership includes practitioners, senior thought leaders and academicians is conducting an Information Management Practices survey in order to assess the state of IT practices. The results of this survey will provide valuable insight into the processes, methods, tools, concepts, and best practices to enable IT executives to better understand, create, and manage IT in partnership with the business. The data this survey collects will be used to develop white papers and educational presentations that will be shared with the SIM membership and eventually the IT community at-large. If you would like to participate and have not already been invited to do so, please email simeawg-survey@unt.edu or call/email Brian Salmans, salmansb@unt.edu, 940.565.3174, or Working Group Co-chair Professor Leon Kappelman, kapp@unt.edu, 940.565.4698. Within a few days you will receive an email from irdept@unt.edu with a special link to the SIM Enterprise Architecture Working Group Information Management Practices Survey.
