An effective Enterprise Architecture plan maximizes technology investments to simplify processes and streamline operations, which helps achieve mission outcomes and improve cross-agency collaboration. The Public Sector employs EA as a management tool to facilitate IT planning and budget activities to create opportunities to save time and resources. Enterprise Architecture professionals who are implementing EA initiatives within the public sector will gather at DGI's EA Conference, which is free for government professionals, to look beyond the policy and theory and discuss lessons learned, best practices, technology applications, and what's next from a practical perspective.

Join this targeted group of leading public sector EA professionals before the end of the government's fiscal year for a full day of collaboration, education and networking. The event curriculum is developed in conjunction with an independent group of advisors comprised of IT professionals from government, academia and industry.  For a synopsis of last year's event, click here.
