Raytheon programme accredited

Raytheon achieved accreditation from The Open Group for its Raytheon Certified Architect Programme (RCAP), says PRNewswire.

RCAP is an enterprise-wide initiative designed to foster specialised expertise required to support customer mission success.

Raytheon is the fourth company in the world and first in its industry to receive this recognition from The Open Group, a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium focused on open standards and global interoperability within and between enterprises.

The California office of the chief information officer (OCIO) has told state agency heads the office will be adopting enterprise architecture standards, reports Government Technology.

They will be based upon methodology of the National Association of Chief Information Officers and also the Federal Enterprise Architecture.

The enterprise architecture will describe "the integration of the current and future states of government programmes, technology and information," says OCIO.

The influencer ecosystem for enterprise cloud computing shifted in the US with Burton Group formally entering the tech research and advisory fray, according to Tekrati.

The launch moves them directly into the line of influence with all of their clients, because they already cover the primary tech and service areas that make up cloud computing and because they are offering all active clients immediate access to the cloud service for a limited time.

When Burton Group talks about clients, it's talking about tech decision-makers at Fortune 500 / Global 1000 companies with annual revenues of $12 billion and up.
