CLEVELAND, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Flashline(R) today announced that Founder and CEO Charles Stack will explore enterprise architecture (EA) at two upcoming conferences for the federal government, SSTC and DoDIIS Worldwide Conference. Stack will present on enterprise architecture deployment and governance at the shows, covering how federal agencies can reduce complexity, modernize systems and manage their software asset portfolios through effective enterprise architecture. Best practices and case studies form the foundation for the featured presentations.

"It is simply not enough to model or design enterprise architecture. Getting development teams to use architectural guidelines and standards, then applying governance and measuring how EA supports agency goals are critical factors in making EA work," states Charles Stack. "By applying these best practices, agencies can get the most out of their enterprise architecture initiatives and quickly gain adoption, grow their programs and increase compliance to standards."
