Course Overview
CITO302: Enterprise Architecture and Integration is an advanced course offered by NGE Institute, designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of enterprise architecture principles, methodologies, and best practices. This course is tailored for IT architects, system designers, and enterprise integration specialists seeking to develop and implement scalable, flexible, and efficient IT architectures that support business objectives and drive digital transformation.
Course Description
Modern digital enterprises depend heavily on increased automation based on cloud services and convergence of business models and technologies among multiple organizations. Thus, enterprises need to architect and integrate a very wide range of services quickly and effectively. This course combines people, processes, and technologies for integrated business operations at local as well as global levels. The specific topics continually evolve as new technologies, techniques, methodologies and standards emerge. Current standards and practices such as TOGAF, SOA, ROA, APIs, and Web3.0 are discussed by using practical real-life scenarios. The role of AI, Blockchains, Cloud and IoTs drives the discussions. Extensive hands-on experiments enrich the learning processes.
