Presentation
Enterprise Architecture Modelling with ArchiMate®
To implement and use Enterprise Architecture effectively a clear approach (TOGAF™), a unified modelling language, and powerful yet easy to use tooling is needed. ArchiMate® is a language for modelling and visualizing enterprise architecture. The core of ArchiMate is a design language to model business and IT architectures in coherence with each other. Next to the design language, ArchiMate offers a range of techniques for visualizing, analyzing, designing and using enterprise architecture to solve business change. The ArchiMate language is being transferred to The Open Group, and will be maintained and further developed by the newly formed ArchiMate Forum within The Open Group. The new forum intends to submit the specification into The Open Group standards process and also to develop an associated certification program for ArchiMate. In the presentation we explain the main concepts of ArchiMate, and show effective tool support to work with ArchiMate.
