The Open Group - Conference 2021

About the Event

The Open Group has been producing its event in Brazil annually for nine years. Always adding a lot of knowledge with renowned speakers from various verticals, moving from the Oil & Gas vertical to retail, through the financial and technical sector, bringing employees and managers from more than 50 companies to each edition. Since last year we have had a global reach with sessions translated from Portuguese to English and vice versa, showing what we are doing in Brazil and our potential, as well as seeing what happens in some of the biggest and best companies in the world. Annually, we bring representatives of these renowned companies to the Brazilian event, as well as professionals and local companies that are members of The Open Group. Finally, we always bring a complete and worldwide overview of TOGAF®, ArchiMate®, and other open standards such as IT4IT™, OpenFootprint™, O-PAS™, Open FAIR™ among many others.

This year, it couldn't be different, leading companies and professionals in our country will be here!

Let's enjoy the benefits of virtual events, with an extended agenda of the very first class, with carefully chosen sessions. And the best: FREE OF CHARGE!

We know that today, there are many virtual event offers with little value. We at The Open Group have at events a means and not a end, that is, it is a way to spread the word about Open Standards and show the benefits of joining us. Our commitment is to make an event worth every second invested by the participants. And this would only be possible through partners and sponsors focused and committed to the evolution and adoption of open standards and an international and local staff dedicated to making an event truly relevant to you and your company.

We already have the full schedule and the days are already open for registration! Click on the buttons below and register for as many days as you like (ATTENTION: Register for as many days as you like, one by one.) I'm sure you will be impressed and enjoy it to the full!

Time	Title	Speaker	Abstract
09:45 - 10:00	Opening	Steve Nunn / Roberto Severo The Open Group	Opening and messages for day 1
10:00-10:30	Building Blocks in Practice	Gustavo Bunger OList	TOGAF, since older versions, introduces us to the concepts of Building Blocks: architectural building blocks (ABB) and solution building blocks (SBB). But how to make them tangible? How to actually implement a practical use of these concepts to accelerate studies and delivery of architectural solutions in organizations?
10:30-11:00	Business Architecture - Implementing a Top-Down Approach to EA	Átila Belloquim Gnosis Knowledge Solutions	In this presentation we'll show you an approach to adopting Enterprise Architecture starting – contrary to usual practice – with Business Architecture, rather than IT Architecture. This approach aims to accelerate the acquisition of managerial sponsorship by the business areas, which is recognized as a fundamental factor for an effective adoption of the Enterprise Architecture in the organization as a whole.
11:00-11:30	Architecture and Agile - Integrating Squad Practice with Archimate	Jorge Fabre NTT Data	The Enterprise Architecture practice helps you to create an overview of your business and technology strategy. Agile practice, on the other hand, helps the progression of activities within the teams, with autonomy and flexibility to achieve the OKR's. In this presentation you will see how the architectural vision, with the help of Archimate, can help in the integration of these practices.
11:30-12:00	How's your Jorney to Operational excellence?	Marcia Maciel SoftwareAG	Even with the most advanced BI systems, real business improvements are not achieved because the root causes remain obscure. Operational best practices are not identified, while inefficiencies in process execution remain undetected and generate ongoing costs. Often, the strategic business model is not connected to the actual operating model. Furthermore, the adoption of changes is not continuously measured. Understand why Process Mining allows you to better understand processes and their dependencies to find patterns, anomalies, opportunities for improvement and cost reduction.
12:00-12:30	The Preliminar Phase doen't have to be like Dungeons & Dragons	Vanessa Nunes SE7TI	TOGAF's Preliminary phase cannot be infinite! You will not spend a lifetime establishing all possible processes and controls or you will never be able to leave this stage to start using the practice of enterprise architecture in organizational transformation actions. Let's talk about everything that has to be done and how you can organize the beginning without losing sight of the whole.
12:30-13:00	NEXT Gen EA: Take your AE practice from noisy to influential to discover the full potential of AE	JS Jimenez eVOLVE / MEGA Intl.	As emerging technologies create continuous disruptions, to stay competitive, organizations need to plan and adapt to change. New technologies bring in new risks, new data, and new ways of working, which means IT, risk, data, and process owners need to collaborate ever more on transformation projects. Enterprise Architecture (EA) makes organizations future-proof by providing these stakeholders with the agility and flexibility they need to cope with continuous change.

Business Architecture - Implementing a Top-Down Approach to EA

Átila Belloquim

In this presentation we'll show you an approach to adopting Enterprise Architecture starting – contrary to usual practice – with Business Architecture, rather than IT Architecture. This approach aims to accelerate the acquisition of managerial sponsorship by the business areas, which is recognized as a fundamental factor for an effective adoption of the Enterprise Architecture in the organization as a whole.
