About the Presentation
=================

The industry has realized that a strong Business-IT alignment is
required to address the challenges such as Businesses becoming
increasingly complex with frequent changes in strategies and processes
due to stiff competition; Mergers & Acquisitions; Introduction of new
products with reduced time to market; Revising marketing practices;
and Changing pricing policies etc.,  Techniques such as Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA), Model Driven Architecture and Business
Innovation & Optimization have been proposed as means to achieve the
much needed Business-IT Alignment.  However, there still exists some
misunderstanding of the concept of Business-IT alignment and several
IT solutions still fall short of the industry’s visions in this
regard. This presentation would provide an overview of Business-IT
alignment and the ideas with some case study examples.  In addition,
the speaker would also highlight the tools and techniques used in the
implementation of SOA which is a key step towards instrumenting
business agility.
