Current technologies and processes explored in the enterprise architecture context include blockchain, microservices, multimodal\/analytic databases, DevOps, SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), containers\/Docker, and some leverage of AI techniques. We cover both the migration of legacy enterprise systems and de novo enterprise architecture development, vendor selection and management, cybersecurity in the enterprise, and complex system integration. Enterprise architecture decisions are presented in the context of the business goals and alignment that are critical for success, given globalization and the reality that \"all companies are now technology companies.\" The course content is rich with case studies that illustrate practical application of enterprise architecture approaches and lessons learned. The course also includes a number of realistic enterprise architecture assignments and an incremental term project with components spanning the course, to provide students with hands on enterprise architecture experience. Students develop the understanding and skills needed to define and implement successful enterprise architectures that provide real strategic and concrete value to organizations, such as substantially reducing IT costs while improving performance, agility and alignment of information technology to business goals. On-campus classrooms follow a \"flipped classroom\" format, where significant class time is devoted to in-class group workshops. Prereq: MET CS 682. Or strategic IT experience.
