EA Training Program

The EA Training for Latin America is designed specifically to focus on the issues of the emerging architecture practices in Latin America, and to address integration, organization, outsourcing and COTS applications, particularly ERP and CRM.

The class will bring the students up to a base level of understanding and expertise that allows them to meet their goals and communicate effectively with management, development and operations.

A high level curriculum that we have found effective is one day of overall EA topics, ½ day each for the four main types of architecture (business, information, application, technology), and a final day to tie it all together around service oriented architecture. Of course, we are flexible to adjust the curriculum to meet the needs of each individual class.

The course is four days. Each day will be a mix of presentation and workshops.
