The Turning Point: A Novel about Agile Architects Building a Digital Foundation


Book Description

Little did Kathleen, Chief Architect at ArchiSurance, know, as she walked into a meeting with the CIO, just how much her job was going to change. Her intention had been to get approval for some new ideas she’d had to strengthen their Enterprise Architecture, after having slowly lost a grip on it during the merger. During the meeting, however, it becomes apparent that the transformation of the organization to become more digital has caused chaos, and not only for her team. It is clear, despite all good intentions, that the transformation is failing. By the end of the meeting, she has agreed to help turn the situation around. After leading the initial reset of the Digital Transformation, Kathleen is suddenly the owner of the implementation. What follows is a journey of the typical problems faced by companies as they make decisions to deploy digital technologies. Kathleen proceeds to solve one problem after the other using guidance from the open digital standards of The Open Group to lay the foundation for deploying quality digital technology solutions at a faster pace.
