Great I was just about to ask the same question

Thanks for a quick reply! I will try them out!

I have come to understand that for our organisation the use of Java 8 is a bit challenging because of the licensing model. This can actually be a major issue for implementing Essential as it can cause major increases in cost. Thus I would just humbly suggest that it it would be very valuable if you ...

Is the program-project structure only two tiers or is it possible to have a deeper hierarchy on either or both sides, i.e. a portfolio structure? I'm having a challenge to model our governance model, which is something like a portfolio. A colleague using a different EA-system (I know, that happens) ...

And thanks for mentioning the EUNIS SIG, actually I'm part of that group.

Regards,

If the group is still there I would be interested in getting in touch with them. Otherwise it would be valuable with an experienced university contact.

Just a late reply to Colin (since I'm new here) - that is a very generous offer to the community. Since you seem to have deep experiences it would be very valuable to hear more. Has Essential grabbed the opportunity for a webinar (that might be recorded somewhere)? Or published a customer success st...

I need to model a matrix organisation, or something along that line. I have the normal hierarchical organisation but we also have independent organisation forms established by IT, primarily a governance model (but also teams that are cross organisational). I wonder what might be the best practice fo...
