Working with Information—An Interview with Linda Ballas (’05), Enterprise Architect, Standard Insurance Company

What is your current job? I am an enterprise architect responsible for the domain of applications within Standard Insurance Company. Enterprise architecture is a department within Information Technology (IT), focusing on alignment of IT with company strategic goals and objectives.

I also teach IT classes at the University of Phoenix, mostly for information systems majors, including various programming languages and other topics such as Internet security. I enjoy teaching business majors about IT—many of those folks only experience IT when their laptops fail or they get an error message in an application.

Working with Information—An Interview with AIM graduate Joel Tachau (‘07), Director of User Experience

Joel Tachau, Director of User Experience

What is your job title? I am an information architect (IA). My specific job title is Director of User Experience. And while I was unexpectedly downsized last month, I quickly found a similar position as User Experience Lead and Software Design Expert. I want to emphasize that my project management training and technology management experience helped in the job search. I am currently using my project management skills and working on a portal project—both things I learned in AIM.
