Description

This course provides a practical, results-focused approach to enterprise application architecture tailored specifically for banking environments. Starting from the fundamentals, you’ll learn how to create a solid architecture portfolio and establish an effective baseline, aligning with standard frameworks and best practices. The course covers key areas, including the business value of the architecture, governance strategies and EA Processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate proven solutions. Through hands-on templates, guided exercises, and quizzes, you’ll gain tools to effectively plan, design, and oversee an application architecture supporting strategic banking objectives.After this course, you will have a clear and practical understanding of how to establish a real-world Application Enterprise Architecture baseline that serves as a foundation for business scenario analysis and supports tangible business value creation. You’ll be able to strategically assess how application architecture decisions impact key business outcomes and use this baseline to drive growth, efficiency, and innovation. You’ll be equipped to extend this approach into other domains of enterprise architecture, building a comprehensive strategy that drives tangible business results. Additionally, you’ll gain insights on how to launch your EA journey with a pragmatic, results-oriented focus—steering clear of jargon, abstract concepts, and generalized theories. This course will empower you to develop an actionable EA framework that resonates with stakeholders and supports impactful decision-making in the banking sector.Focused specifically on the banking sector, this course incorporates industry-relevant use cases, making it ideal for enterprise architects, IT managers, strategists, and executives. It not only clarifies key architectural concepts but also provides a pragmatic, results-driven approach for effective implementation in banking environments.
