TOGAF® 9 Foundation & Certified

What is TOGAF 9?

TOGAF® stands for "The Open Group Architecture Framework". The framework has been created and developed by The Open Group and is a method for the creation, maintenance and application of Enterprise Architecture.

TOGAF is an industry standard – this gives the tool clear working advantages. By ensuring everyone within and between businesses speaks the same ‘language’ cooperation leads to increased efficiency. Every organisation wishing to develop and work with Enterprise Architecture can use TOGAF cost free.

TOGAF 9 involves using a comprehensive method (ADM - Architecture Development Method) for the development of architecture within the areas of business, information, application and technology. The method includes tools for describing, measuring and controlling an organisation’s architecture. In addition, there are new applications that further clarify the relationship between business and operations as well as fresh developments around the guidelines for how the method can be used, for example within service based architecture.

TOGAF 9 courses are divided into two parts: Foundation and Certified. Foundation covers the essentials of TOGAF 9 while Certified goes into more detail regarding the framework and method. Our courses are accredited by The Open Group. In Scandinavia, we can offer you the flexibility of booking and attending TOGAF 9 Foundation and Certified courses separately. Outside Scandinavia, we offer a course that combines the two.
