Today's CEOs know the effective management and exploitation of information (through IT) is a key factor to business success, and an indispensable means to achieving competitive advantage.Enterprisearchitecture addresses this need by providing a strategic context for the evolution of the IT system in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment.

The purpose of enterprise architecture is to optimise the often fragmented processes (both manual and automated) into an integrated environment, which is responsive to change and supportive of the delivery of the business strategy across the enterprise.

TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) is a detailed method and set of supporting tools for developing the enterprise architecture. It plays an important role in standardising (and de-risking) the architecture development process. Developing and sustaining an enterprise architecture is a technically complex process that involves many stakeholders and decision processes in the organisation. TOGAF provides a best practice framework for adding value, enabling the organisation to build workable and economic solutions that address their business issues and needs.

Any organisation undertaking or planning to undertake the development and implementation of enterprise architecture for the support of their business transformation will benefit from the use of TOGAF. However, when first adopting TOGAF as a framework, it should be considered the first step. It will need tailoring. It is not a one-size-fits-all model. Thus, TOGAF training will give you a common approach, provide you with an understanding of the terminology, and ultimately help you establish the end-goal of TOGAF implementation.

In partnership with ITPreneurs, ITWinners is pleased to offer high-quality accredited TOGAF 9.1 classes that will help you understand the methodology and how to effectively apply it within your own organisation. While the TOGAF framework is highly generic and theoretical, your training doesn't need to be! The company uses industry experts, who have many years of hands-on experience to deliver its accredited courses as an integral part of its IT governance and best practices training portfolio. They'll help you practice what they teach!
