New ATC Provider Affiliate Program

In response to requests from our Accredited Training Course (ATC) Providers, The Open Group has introduced a new Affiliate program that allows ATC Providers to use partner organizations in the delivery of an ATC and to clarify how third parties may be used to market these courses.

As the premier certification authority, The Open Group is introducing this Affiliate program to initially cover TOGAF® courses followed by ArchiMate® (both standards of The Open Group), Open FAIR certification and any subsequent new programs.

Beyond Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud - Open Platform 3.0™

Date: 24th April, 2014

Time: 11.00 BST 15:30 IST, 12:00 CEST

Presented by
Aravind Ajad (Wipro), Gautam Bhat (IBM), Bhupesh Naik (Infosys), Chris Harding (The Open Group)

SMAC is a recognized term for the convergence of several new technologies – Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud computing – that have a major impact on business use of information technology. It is clear that their use will grow and the effect will be revolutionary. What is not clear is the total scope of the technical changes, and how enterprises can use them to business advantage.

In this webinar, a team of experts will discuss the impact that these technologies are having on business operations and, particularly, on business users. They will explain the approach that The Open Group is taking to defining Open Platform 3.0. They will answer questions from the audience on these and related topics.
