TOGAF, an industry standard architecture framework based on best practice method for developing IT and Enterprise Architecture is seeing significant growth in China. Architecting the Enterprise is proud to be part of this success story.

Proof that Chinese companies recognise Architecting the Enterprise’s expertise in TOGAF is that our recent Beijing TOGAF 9 course was fully attended. The instructor for the course was Judith Jones, who is globally recognised for her promotion of TOGAF. Accompanying her was Linda Yu who was able to give the course a Chinese perspective.

Judith’s presentation “TOGAF Case Study Briefing - A New Era begins….TOGAF Version 9” also received positive comments in the CIO 2009 class from Peking University.

Uptake of TOGAF certification will enable Chinese organizations, EA professionals and practitioners to better align business and IT.
