Architecting the Enterprise is recognized as the world leader in assessing and developing business resource competencies using TOGAf™

We live in a continuous changing and shrinking world. Globalization has transformed our business and social environments beyond local and national boundaries forever. Organizations need to develop business models and capabilities that will operate in harmony with each other and leverage global synergy.

To successfully implement your business models rapidly and achieve strategic and tactical success fast, we advocate using proven industry methods, techniques and tools to develop and deliver your Enterprise Architecture. This is the most rapid way of both developing your resource competencies and providing a sound foundation for evolution and innovation.

While a given best practice is applicable to particular condition or circumstance it may need to be modified, adapted and fitted into your operations to maximize the opportunities and create an innovative environment.

That is why we recommend the use of TOGAF™ – an industry best practice for Enterprise Architecture development, deployment and delivery. TOGAF™ is a set of supporting tools and methods for developing a broad range of vendor neutral Enterprise Architecture domains. Most importantly, it breaks down your business into its essential components to enable you to design and build the right Enterprise Architecture for your needs.

Enterprise Architecture requires the bringing together of many skills and professions within an organization. Management tools and techniques need to be interworkable with specific Enterprise Architecture tools and techniques to bring a coherent approach and shared values across the organization. To help our clients work out what to do and when to do it we have developed roadmap techniques and measures to enhance understanding and share knowledge across organizations.

As a major change-enabler Enterprise Architecture will help to enhance your business culture and structures to ensure successful transformation that lasts and becomes part of “the way we do things around here”.
