The Open Group and ERPNEWS Collaborate to Promote Enterprise Architecture Profession in Russia
02.11.07
Open Group, a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium focused on open standards and global interoperability within and between enterprises, today announced that it has formed a partnership with Moscow-based ERPNEWS in order to raise the understanding of IT and Enterprise Architecture throughout Russia.
Commenting on their agreement to co-operate in raising awareness of the increasing importance of IT architectures, The Open Group’s President & CEO Allen Brown said, “ERPNEWS is a trusted source of information for IT and business executives throughout Russia. This arrangement allows The Open Group to further increase its reach in the global IT and Enterprise Architecture community.”
ERPNEWS Main Editor Alex Marinin added, “ERPNEWS sees insufficient maturity of the Russian market in terms of information about options for IT/business alignment. For this reason we believe partnering with The Open Group will help provide our numerous Russian readers with best practices on enterprise architecture and ultimately fill the information gap that current exists for IT professionals throughout the region.”
In 2008, ERPNEWS will cover four Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conferences - in San Francisco, CA; Glasgow, UK; Chicago, IL; and Munich, Germany. In particular, editorial focus will be given to TOGAF 8 and The Open Group’s IT Architect Certification (ITAC) program.
