Consultancy Services

Architecting the Enterprise is a unique association of highly experienced people closely connected with TOGAF and The Open Group's Architecture Forum. Inevitably, Architecting the Enterprise is seen as the TOGAF specialist. However, our collective experience and expertise spans all aspects of Enterprise Architecture. This strength gives us the knowledge, skills and capability to help our clients at a practical level.

Getting started with TOGAF

Many organisations require help in the preliminary phases of their architecture projects. TOGAF provides a great deal of high-level method and process, but it has to be organisationally tailored. Common issues are:

• Reconciling TOGAF with other frameworks (e.g. Zachman)
• Choosing appropriate tools
• Developing artefact templates
• Modelling business scenarios

Services - preliminary phase

We have defined a number of specific services that can, either individually or combined, help you with the preliminary phase of a TOGAF based architecture project. The deliverables currently available are:

• Setting up an Enterprise Architecture Practice
• Mentoring
• TOGAF customisation
• Tool selection
• Tool evaluation
• Tool customisation
• Phase initiation workshop

Three day deliverables typically consist of a facilitated workshop sandwiched between a preparatory day and a follow-up day.

Services - key checkpoints

There are some key checkpoints or milestones in any architecture project where external assessment or guidance would be useful. Drawing on industry best practice we've designed one-day deliverables around two of these topics.

• Governance workshop
• Architecture Capability Maturity Assessment
