ATLANTA, GA – October 11, 2007 – Cogentes announced today that Bradley Rhine, CEO, will speak at the IASA IT Architect Regional Conference in San Diego on October 15, 2007. Presenting in the Enterprise Architecture Track, Bradley will discuss the Long Term Business Consequences of Developed Code. Specific presentation logistics are as follows:

            Date:                Monday, October 15, 2007

            Time:               4:45PM – 6:00PM

            Location:          Sheraton Marina, San Diego, CA

“As the Build vs. Buy saga continues, I will share my experience and research to help businesses make the right decision”, said Bradley Rhine, CEO, Cogentes. “I look forward to being part of the conference as IASA continues its leading contributions to the professional definition of the architecture discipline.”

 This presentation provides a perspective on the underlying economic realities of developed code and how architects must make informed - but potentially unpopular - choices to protect the long-term viability of IT in a technology dependent business.  A growing code base inevitably adds to annual maintenance costs but at the same time most IT organizations are under pressure to reduce maintenance budgets.
