*Conference **on **Enterprise Architecture in the Digital Era: Trends,
Opportunities and Challenges *

24th and 25th May, at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

 *Conference Background*

Digitalization is changing the way organizations plan, design, deliver and
track their goods and services. The industry has moved from the paradigm of
information technology merely being an enabler, to being the driver. Today
technology drives business, and this is accentuated by the advent of
organizations that are born digital, or the *digital natives*. The pace and
diversity that organization leaders have to contend with, pulls them in
different directions, more often than not to the detriment of the
organization.

In this fast-paced era, the organization leaders need to rely on innovation
to understand customers and embrace disruptive information technologies.
This demands holistic integrated thinking and a deep understanding of how
all the seemingly disparate dimensions come together to provide sustained
differentiation and competitive edge. Competing on processes and products
is passé. Organizations today, are creating platforms and building
ecosystems anchored around such platforms. Platform-enabled ecosystems are
making new business models possible and accelerating network effects by
creating value and participation. This is therefore, generating the need
for enterprise architects like never before. Enterprise architecture drives
transformation that generates newer opportunities through technology
innovation, and enterprise architects make this happen. For leaders, the
overarching desire to maintain oversight, gain insight and acquire
foresight is unparalleled.

One of the largest digitalization initiatives in the world is the Digital
India, which aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and
knowledge economy. The NITI Aayog has set a target of US$ 1 Trillion by
2025 for the digital economy in India. Transformation of this scale and
complexity needs to be orchestrated and architected. The role of enterprise
architecture in making this happen cannot be overemphasized. In realizing
the criticality, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has
taken the lead to develop a national framework for enterprise architecture
called the India Enterprise Architecture Framework (IndEA), this has been
notified as a national standard by the Government of India this month.

There is clearly a need for greater understanding of current and emerging
trends, the opportunities that are being created constantly and the
challenges faced in taking full benefits of such opportunities.
