The IT Complexity Crisis
The world economy is losing over six trillion USD per year to IT failures and the problem is getting worse. The problem is out-of-control IT complexity. This talk analyzes the problem of IT complexity is detail. It describes how business and IT working together under the auspices of Enterprise Architecture can dramatically reduce complexity while improving security, performance, agility, and most important of all, profitability. IT complexity robs companies of their competitive edge. An strategy of enterprise simplification can be the most cost effective way to improve efficiency in almost every area of the enterprise, especially IT. And enterprise architects must take the leadership making this happen.
