While I was at IASA's ITARC NYC the other week, Matt Deacon (day job: developer/architect evangelist for Microsoft in the UK; evening job: UK Chapter President of IASA) interviewed me about my thoughts on the value of architecture, the role of IASA and also about the talk I gave at the event.

The talk I gave was on a recent survey we completed in association with IASA—focused on architects' experiences of, and views on, Cloud Computing. In the second half of the interview Matt talks to me about some of the early findings from that survey.

The video interview with Matt and me is about 21 minutes long, and it's published on Microsoft's Channel 9. I think the discussion turned out pretty well, though I say so myself... Matt has also published an interview with the SEI's Len Bass from the same conference btw, and that's worth a look, definitely.

The full survey findings will be published as part of our new Software Delivery advisory service, which we'll be launching this month. If you're an enterprise IT practitioner and you'd like to find out more about the service here's something for you; if you work for an IT vendor organisation, here's some information for you.

I'd love to get feedback from you if you have time to sit through the interview... what did you think?
