1. Think Big: Enterprise Architecture
2. Think Mobile: IT + Internet + Telecom
3. Think Different: understand trends, follow trends, create trends
4. Technical Career Path for Thinkers: from engineering to architecture and strategy

This presentation is about extending the way of thinking for IT professionals. How and where the paradigm shift could happen. Enterprise Architecture is a tool for building and transformation of
IT landscape to the optimized ecosystem for the core business. Author will present some examples of enterprise architecture implementation and its value. Convergent technologies are something on the edge, which is industry driver in any times. Today this “edge” is IT, Internet and Telecom. We discuss that as well. Unique ideas are not created without basis - they are result of trends understanding and non-standard view at these trends. Finally, another topic to be discussed in this presentation is a technical career path – from programmer and software engineer to the solution architect and IT strategist.
