Enterprise Architect for TOGAF© Practitioners
Duration: 3 days – Expert led Enterprise Architect hands-on training
"An Architect, in the subtlest application of the word, describes one able to engage and arrange all elements of an environment to create a harmonious whole" – Charles T. Betz
The purpose of an Enterprise Architecture capability is to produce business value and to identify and manage the people, process, and technology elements of an organization. All elements need to be clearly understood and available in an interactive model which can then be used to evaluate existing operations and manage change over time. The advantages that result from a good enterprise architecture bring important business benefits, which are clearly visible in the net profit or loss of a company or organization.
TOGA®F, BIZBOK®, BABOK®, ITSM® are industry standard frameworks and methods to harmonize an Enterprise Architecture Office that are available for use by any organization around the world. It is a tool for assisting in the production, usage, and maintenance of architectures. It is based on a process model supported by best practices and a re-usable set of existing architectural resources.

Closing the Gap – Dr Dobbs Interview featuring Ramsay Millar
"The INTEGRATED Repository provided during the course saved twenty business analysts at our Fortune 10 Healthcare company many months of standards work and setup time, we began our critical project immediately after training. There isn’t a week that goes by when I’m not using one of the productivity tools to help solve problems, speed things or make my team more productive." Fiona Lindberg, CBAP – McKesson Health Systems, Atlanta, GA
Sparx EA is, without a doubt, the business and software modeling tool bargain of the century." – Fiona Lindberg, CBAP, McKesson Health Systems, Atlanta, GA
"It has been nearly impossible to figure out how to use Enterprise Architect to manage a real project. INTEGRATE iT involved the entire project team and we are saving time and producing quality requirements within one week" – Ray Nygren, Business Analyst, Maximus
"I’ve been able to impose a new level of discipline on to align business and IT – we’ve eliminated the ‘weak link’ by creating a common business language(UML) between the business people coming in with requirements and the architects who are designing the new systems. The methods and techniques revealed are a breath of fresh air when I compare them to their predecessors – that performed like a herd of elephants." – Director of Strategic Planning, Major US based Retailer
