New podcast episode: interview with prominent enterprise architect James McGovern

Neil Macehiter hosts this slightly elongated (35'41") MWD podcast episode, in which we interview prominent enterprise architect blogger James McGovern. The interview covers the role of open source in enterprise architecture and IT investment and the challenges associated with introducing OSS technology; thoughts on the architectural challenges associated with identity management; and a discussion on the differences between enterprise architecture practice in the US vs. in Europe.

Perhaps surprisingly, James thinks European businesses are likely to have more of the characteristic "markers" for good enterprise architecture practice than US businesses...

There's some great insights here. One not to miss. The audio is here, as usual. You can subscribe to the podcast here.

Hopefully we'll have the chance to talk more to James later in the year. One caution: the recording of James' voice could be of better quality. Apologies if any of it is a little unclear. If we get to talk to him again, we'll do better next time!
