An Introduction to TOGAF
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a comprehensive framework and
methodology which enables the design, evaluation and implementation of the right

ten years. Its development has been guide by and based
on the knowledge and experience of Open Group members who
are practicing IT Architects working for a wide range of
enterprises throughout the world.

Starting with Enterprise Architecture the TOGAF Way
Enterprise Architecture is now becoming an imperative for
any organization. Indeed in many cases Enterprise Architecture
is now mandated by legislative bodies as a means of contributing
to corporate accountability. This presentation examines what
steps need to be taken when an organization starts to introduce
the methods and processes of Enterprise Architecture? The
steps outlined here are based on the the TOGAF recommendations
that have been amassed and published by The Open Group’s
members, who are practicing IT Architects working for a wide
range of enterprises throughout the world.
