Serves as leading indicator of most important IT and business challenges

Architecture & Governance Magazine, a leading journal for IT executives, strategists, and enterprise architects, today announced its third annual subscriber survey.  The objective of the annual polling is to determine the issues and trends confronting organisations addressing IT or business transformations, and how they use enterprise architecture and strategic IT planning software to keep pace with business change.

The survey questions will be available beginning June 4th at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB227UYK5VKZ3 and will be available for 10 days.  Results are expected to be announced in an August Architecture & Governance webinar, and will be published in the Fall edition of the publication.

The first 25 respondents will receive the newly published I/T Architecture in Action by Richard J. Reese, vice president of Enterprise Architecture at Discover Financial.

A recent reader posted the following review of the book on Amazon.com:  “This is a "must read" book that provides a wonderful insight on how to position and apply Architecture within a corporate IT enterprise. Rick uses his practical experiences to clearly articulate the important role architecture plays, how to establish guiding principles, govern, and develop/utilize an architectural framework to help you improve your overall business. This book is a must read for all CIOs, business I/T professionals and IT architects.”

“Over the last two surveys, we’ve seen a growing adoption of strategic IT planning as a driver for business success across our readership,” said Jonas Lamis, founder and executive editor of Architecture & Governance.  “This year, our goal is to understand the impact of SOA projects and IT transformation initiatives on this trend.”
