TOGAF™ Training
The Open Group Architecture Framework
Training by Detecon
Growth through Innovative Business Processes
Traditional methods of IT architecture management are no longer capable of meeting the increased expectations of corporate business units in regards to implementation speed and budgets. In particular multi-divisional corporations are increasingly relying on the Enterprise Architecture (EA) concept, which helps them meet growth objectives through the fast adaptation and implementation of strategic and innovative business processes. Many Fortune 1,000 companies are already making use of EAs to enhance internal transparency of business processes and their development and of IT architecture dependencies. At the same time, EAs define the framework conditions for optimal use of business processes and their seamless integration.
Detecon and TOGAF - Methods for Success
As the link between business and IT strategy, the enterprise architecture outlines the framework for IT solutions. The EA describes IT structures, standards, processes and shared corporate services. The task of an EA is to support the business areas and IT experts in shared planning processes and in the comprehensive further development of the IT architecture. Detecon decided to use TOGAF from Open Group as an open and widely accepted standard as basis for our architecture work. A comprehensive experience from successful projects at customers with different size and industry demonstrates the benefits of that strong methodology. Based on TOGAF basic structures, Detecon enhanced the methodology in different areas, e.g. the finance and controlling, business cases, governance or SOA migration strategy, and applies those successfully.
