SustainableArchitectures.org and SustainableIT.org Join Forces to Advance Sustainable IT and Architecture Practices

About SustainableArchitectures.org: Founded in August 2024 as a non-profit under IASA Global by President Paul Preiss, SustainableArchitectures.org collaborated with SustainableIT.org to refine Enterprise Architecture Sustainability principles and continues to participate in the definition of principles regarding responsible AI development and deployment. Under the IASA Global umbrella, SustainableArchitectures.org can leverage a leading knowledge-based association for Business Technology architecture dedicated to advancing best practices and education to develop highly skilled architects. By integrating Sustainable Architectures' programs—covering sustainability certification, research, sustainability and responsible AI assessments, and architectural artifacts into the IASA Business Technology Architecture Body of Knowledge (BTABoK) framework, we position architecture as a core pillar of modern business technology strategy with a focus on sustainability.
