The Enterprise Architect’s Dilemma: When to Keep, Replace or Retire an Outgrown System.
Most of an organisation’s estate is in and working, and an enterprise architect has little reason to change it. Shifts in business strategy, in the market and in technology, AI included, keep pressing on it, and sooner or later some platforms stop being fit for purpose.
Document management is often one of them. It sits across almost every part of the business, which makes changing it harder than it looks. This session looks at what happens when a content platform has to change: deciding what to keep, moving the content without breaking anything around it, and leaving the doors open for what comes next.
Join us as we discuss:
- Retire, replace or retain: will it work, will it break anything, does it leave doors open
- Moving documents and records with data, technical and process integrity intact
- Separating information from the applications that created it
- One shared view of where information lives across the estate
- Well-classified information as the foundation AI depends on
- Two global migrations: what moved, how it was done, and what they would do differently
