Mar 18, 2:00 – 3:30 PM (UTC)

Salesforce Architect Group, Johannesburg, South Africa

Join us for the next (Architects Assemble) virtual meetup as we explore the role of the Enterprise Architect in driving business transformation through Salesforce. We’ll unpack how architects connect technology decisions to strategy, value, and long-term enterprise outcomes.

About this event

In this session, we shift the lens from solution architecture to enterprise architecture — and explore what it truly means to architect for business value at scale.

As Salesforce becomes a core enterprise platform, architects are increasingly expected to think beyond features and implementation — toward strategy, operating models, governance, and transformational leadership.

Together, we’ll discuss:

• What is an Enterprise Architect and how does the role differ from Solution Architecture?

• How do EAs ensure technology investments deliver measurable business value?

• The EA’s role in strategy, alignment, and architectural decision-making

• Cultivating curiosity and systems thinking in complex enterprise environments

• How Salesforce fits into broader enterprise transformation journeys

This will be a collaborative, conversation-driven meetup for architects, aspiring CTAs, and technology leaders who want to grow their enterprise mindset.
