Enterprise Architecture Jobs Are In Demand

Enterprise Architecture Job DescriptionsThe good news is that there are some bright spots in the IT Job market.  With all of the dismal news to date, Janco Associates was surprised to see an up-tick in demand for positions related to enterprise architecture.  Typically, the drive for enterprise architecture is to improve productivity as functional changes that are minor modifications to existing systems and to development of new systems. When changes are undertaken with a tactical viewpoint as opposed to an enterprise viewpoint, the results are changes that are hard-to-manage and fragmented landscape.

Enterprises are now turning to enterprise architecture as a solution to better manage and control IT investments. Change in today's business landscape now are driving CIO to evaluate enterprise architecture  as a solution for cost control, service level management, and implementation of productivity metrics for IT and the enterprise as a whole.

The drivers that Janco see for the movement towards enterprise architecture are:

  • Business consolidations and mergers
  • Mandated and industry standard compliance requirements such as SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS
  • Business cost reduction programs
  • Technological advancements such a Smartphones and portability of data and applications with USB devices
  • Infrastructure consolidation at data centers and with outsourcers
  • Movement from legacy mainframe applications to user-friendly Internet applications
  • Open source architecture requirements
  • Movement to open standards by major providers of software such as Adobe (pdf) and Microsoft (Open Office)

CIOs now know that enterprise architecture drivers are best addressed by a long term synergy between IT and business roadmaps to replace tactical moves with strategic ones. That is the reason for the increased demand.
