Enterprise Architecture 4.0: The AI-Driven Future Preview
AI, agentic workflows, digital twins, edge intelligence, spatial computing, and blockchain trust are converging to reshape how enterprises operate.
This session introduces Enterprise Architecture 4.0—a practical, future-ready approach where architectures become intelligent, adaptive, and continuously learning.
You’ll explore the EA 4.0 Tech Radar, understand the six major waves of disruption, and learn the ARCHAI Blueprint—a structured framework for designing AI-native, agent-ready, and trust-centered systems.
Leave with a clear set of patterns and a 12-month roadmap for preparing your enterprise for the next era of intelligent operations.
