At Enterprise Architects, we believe that an enterprise architect is a critical element in the successful realisation of business strategy.
An enterprise architect must be capable of operating effectively across business, strategy, governance and delivery.

 

Through our consulting and recruiting businesses, we have assisted many corporations to establish architecture practices, delivered architecture outcomes and assembled architecture talent. We have used this wealth of experience to shape a comprehensive training plan for individuals and teams across the business. This program will extend your capability to provide high value architectural solutions for your clients and sponsors.

In February 2009, the Open Group announced the release of Version 9 of The Open Group Architecture Framework.  TOGAF V9 Enterprise Edition is a detailed method and set of supporting resources for developing an Enterprise Architecture. It represents an industry consensus framework and method for Enterprise Architecture that is freely available for use (subject to license conditions www.opengroup.org/togaf/ ).

Version 9 represents a major extension for TOGAF, addressing not only what architecture should comprise, but how to make it work in the enterprise. TOGAF V9 offers the means for uniting different methodologies in business planning, IT architecture and project management under one common framework. TOGAF V9 delivers detail on how organisations can incorporate the framework within their internal processes to achieve better alignment IT with business needs.  In addition, the V9 Architecture Development Method (ADM) shows how this framework can be applied to specific situations such as service oriented architecture (SOA) and security architecture.  The new Architecture Content Framework includes a detailed content meta model that formalises the definition of an Enterprise Architecture and establishes clear links between business and IT objects.

Suitable for novice and experienced architects alike, Enterprise Architects will teach you how to apply the TOGAF framework in your organisation. Participate in one of our TOGAF Training and Certification Courses and join the elite of certified architects in demand globally.
