We have worked with The Open Group to:

- Work with the TOGAF® Certification Authority since their beginning to create professional competency programs




It is not just what we train that is at the heart of what we offer, but also who we are. Many of us at Architecting the Enterprise; such as Judith Jones (our CEO-pictured right), Ed Harrington and Serge Thorn- have been key to the development of TOGAF over the years. This is why we take great care to teach and train with quality in mind. It is also why many organisations -including Fortune 500 companies- are loyal, satisfied customers.
