Presentation
TOGAF Scalability - Fitness of EA for Medium Sized Business

• Does TOGAF scale-down?
• Is Enterprise Architecture appropriate for medium-sized businesses?
• Can organizations of 2-10,000 employees cope with an EA initiative, let alone afford and benefit from on?

Medium-sized enterprises face all of the regulatory, legal and operational challenges of large business, without the benefit of scale.

Based on experience of medium sized public and private enterprises in Western Canada, this presentation argues that EA initiatives are not only within the scope of the business, but required to meet operational need and regulatory requirements. The ADM's iterative approach shows promise in managing the scalability challenge.
