Venue: Telus Convention Centre

This Full-day, practitioner-led course provides training on best practices associated with the effective management of an Integration Competency Center. The course features practical examples for developing quantifiable justifications for business investments in shared infrastructure and for organizing chargeback models for a shared service function. While the examples and case studies focus on Integration Competency Centers, participants will learn techniques that are equally applicable to any shared service group such as Enterprise Architecture or SOA Center of Expertise.

It is particularly crucial for Competency Centers to influence organizational silos and change behavior in order to gain adoption of standards and effectively govern shared infrastructure. This clinic will review both financial and social mechanisms to motivate individuals and groups to collaborate and reduce costs without compromising time-to-market or quality. Attendees will learn how to identify internal funding sources, use analytical techniques to create quantified business cases, and establish effective chargeback methods within the organizational strategic framework and financial accounting processes.
