IT Architect @ The IT Architecture Group is a new team formed to bridge the gap between strategic business architecuture planning and the technical decisions that get made every day by people that deliver Safeway's technology solutions. Our charter is to directly impact IT's ability to quickly deliver sound business platforms while managing the complexity of our information technology footprint. We are responsible for defining Safeway's IT architectures and the supporting standards. We identify critical capability gaps and sponsor programs to enable those capabilities. We drive adoption of the target architectures by aligning project teams to appropriate standards. And we must review and approve all solution architectures.

We are the custodian for the enterprise architecture practice at Safeway, and help other architecture teams organize to be effective in our federated architecture model. We provide technical leadership in developing architecture specifications and methods, and guide the evolution of architecture governance. Enterprise architecture also facilitates the development of transformation programs by working with our IT and business leaders to understand their goals and opportunities, help them articulate their strategies, and define target architecture and migration plans to support those strategies.
