 and invite the open group CTO Dave Lownsbury to join me up on the stage and we'll we'll try something different and Hopefully it will it will be something that you'll find interesting Where should we go here here and here So the thought the thought here my yes, I am good the thought was inspired actually by an invitation that I received recently to a very impressive event in Shenzhen China put on by Huawei and some of our Huawei colleagues are here today Where I was asked on a panel what is it that the open group can provide or offer to organizations who are either embarking on their digital transformation journey or our partway through it and What I came up with was Well from an open group point of view you would take an architecture approach to to that transformation you'd start with looking at togaff looking at what the vision is the the business rationale for making that that transformation journey you'd start there and togaff is is as we know Very widely used throughout the world more than 80 percent of the world's top companies are using it in some way More than 50,000 individuals around the world are certified in it It's it's it provides a great common language for people to start approaching these things with it Of course, we've got the archimage language which works perfectly With togaff for for doing the modeling so that will be a good start is what I was saying and Then of course we've got Also in the open group. We've got the open platform 3.0 forum, which is where we are tackling the the Convergence of these new disruptive technologies the Internet of Things big data Social and cloud all of these things that come together s away They provide huge opportunities for organizations to take advantage of those But they also provide a huge threat if Those those opportunities aren't dealt with right or if they missed the boat Fall behind their competitors. So we've got a number of things going on in that space in that forum one specific that ties those first two together is the Digital business strategy and customer experience work group Which is a joint activity between the open platform 3.0 forum and the architecture forum And that is really coming at this from a from a customer experience point of view Customers expect a lot nowadays. They expect to be able to do things on their mobile devices in particular And it's as we heard it yesterday Any app is only as good as the best one that's out there. It's a very competitive field. So We're we're trying to look at that in there and also There's an activity to to look at agile Enterprise architecture, which is which is being talked about at the at the governing board level and the last part I said When I was asked the question was and of course in a business transformation digital transformation What we consistently here is? IT is going to be really important. I mean, I've heard it said that Every every company that that becomes a digital company is effectively going to become a software company That's one extreme, you know software eats the world is another way of putting it whatever But it seems to be the case that the the IT in An organization will be key to a digital transformation and so as we heard a lot about it yesterday IT for IT Inside the open group provides this end-to-end view is a value value chain approach value stream approach that really Changes the way that The IT function can be looked at in an organization and and the value that it that it can offer You know we we had interesting thing we heard from Dave Hornford yesterday was was it's a real accelerator There are different ways of looking at whatever it is IT for IT is really significant and You can talk about DevOps scrum agile all of those things But at the end of the day, there still needs to be this this there needs to be some governance There needs to be some controls and this end-to-end view is Is key so That was what I said I will I will what would you say from a CEO point of view first? first good good job on that You covered it all you know we've always said we said for years that you know the togaf methodology is the core methodology of how you do Enterprise architecture and what you do is you you you pick your framework and you use a togaf methodology to fill it So this is a another example of that where we're moving forward into the digital age a digital end customer experience age where we're We're in the process of developing these frameworks And you see the white papers listed on the screen here that you can use the togaf methodology to fill and model and Archa mate and then of course you implement it in IT for IT the thing I'll add on IT for IT by the way is a big part of the digital Transformation is how you operate at scale and that's something that's emerging in the IT for IT form And I think they'll be working with the open platform 3.0 form to figure out how you you you can operate at Small scale and then when you take over the world and you want millions of orders pouring in you can scale up there So that'll be an important part of that it is a software world though and we We do need to also think about the other Illities that you need and particularly if you're working in a large-scale distributed world You know one that you think about a security if Martin I could ask you to flip the next slide Thank you. So so you still need to think about the basics right those haven't gone away as you operate in this new world of scale You know the big one of course is security. You're gonna be handing a lot of customer data. You're gonna have a very large threat surface Operating all this stuff on on open networks. So you want to carefully assess where your risks are and Develop an approach to that And of course we've got standards for that in open fair and the information security model the Since you're taking an architecture approach The security form in the architecture form have cooperated to develop methodology for architecting with security and the document is the integrating risk and security in the togaff enterprise architecture See it on the screen at some point You know, we've you've got your your software. You've got your open platform 3.0 your implementation IT for IT But you're gonna do all those in an ecosystem You're gonna have partners and so you want to make sure that you have a way of finding partners that you can trust with all your operations in your data so The open trusted technology provider standard which talks about how you establish Trusted relationships can play into that and you may want to think about dependability, you know making sure your stuff is up and there's again emerging work in the Real-time and embedded systems forum for how you architect for dependability as well So so and there's many other things going on. I know we were short on time So I don't want to take too much time. The other thing I'll add of course is In this world, you've got this big job of transformation You've got the architecture part of the transformation. You've got implementation of the transformation You've got your security assessment and we know from, you know business architecture that you know You need the architecture, you know, you need to figure out what your capabilities are You also need to figure out what your competencies are and one of the things that I think would Help with this approach with help with this transformation is in most of these cases There's a way that you can come to the open group and find people who are knowledgeable in architecture in Archimage in open fare So that you can actually, you know staff up to actually successfully transform Yeah, that's the key. I mean the the opportunity to share those Those expertise and knowledge across the right across the different forums is is one of the things that We try to encourage at the open group. I know so it's good. So So of course one of the differences from CTO has to talk about illities So they there you go. It's one of the differences, but there's a lot. There's a lot going on here and elsewhere and you know, we are also You mentioned partners for the for the member organizations. We obviously are working with other organizations in the industry to To make sure that we're getting the most out of most benefit for our members and for their members in Incorporating so we're always looking for for those opportunities And if if any of you out there are active in another group and you think, you know, maybe there's some Some good reason for the open group and in this other industry group to work together then then let us know We're we're very keen to partner and Make the most of the resources we have Well and on the resource front, you know, if this is something that's of interest to your organization Please come to the forum meetings and or contact one of the forum directors They can tell you in more detail than we've had time to do here What's going on? Maybe you can get involved or make help make connections to people in your organization who are working on this sort of thing So we can we can get your knowledge and and your input into making these standards better All right, thank you Dave. Thank you. Thank you
