TOGAF 9 Training Courses

TOGAF Version 9

TOGAF 9 Features Significant Enhancements to key capabilities of the architecture framework. It includes new materials that show in detail how the Architecture Development Method (ADM) can be applied to specific situations, such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and security architecture.

TOGAF 9 is an industry consensus framework and method for Enterprise Architecture that is available for use internally by any organization around the world. It is a tool for assisting in the production, use and maintenance of architectures. It is based on a process model supported by best procedures and a re-usable set of existing architectural resources.

TOGAF 9 focuses on developing business capability and management frameworks to encourage business exercises, configurations and abilities to enable inter-operability between businesses at all levels in the organization.

As a comprehensive, open method for Enterprise Architecture, TOGAF 9 complements, and can be used in conjunction with, other frameworks that are more focused on specific aspects of architecture or for vertical sectors such as Government, Defense, and Finance.
