Effective Enterprise Architecture helps tap useful information for business progress, through IT and also helps build the balance in the use of IT in business innovation. TOGAF helps achieve this by building the right tool (Enterprise Architecture) by aligning business needs with the IT architecture.
Of the various choices available, one exemplary framework that sits head and shoulders above the competition is The Open Group’s Architecture Framework, or TOGAF.
In this piece, we shall explore the pros of cons of implementing TOGAF to meet your Enterprise Architecture needs, and chart out its benefits to both, the organization, and you, as an individual employee.
The Open Group, a technology-neutral industry association with over 450 member organizations, develops and builds The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) − a documented framework which enables users and organizations to leverage the complex tool of Enterprise Architecture to design, evaluate and build the right architecture for the business. And although TOGAF is designed to primarily support Information Technology (IT) architecture, it also includes “parts of the business, data and application architecture that impact the development of IT architecture”.
Since its inception in the 1990s, the applicability of TOGAF has undergone incremental value-addition with the constant evolution of the enterprise and the IT architecture vertical. The features of TOGAF have also improved over the years, with the latest version, TOGAF 9.1, at the apex of the pyramid.
Enterprise Architecture lays out a path from the present to the progressive future of an organization by helping align the business framework of the organization with the necessary data needed to manage and execute the business. This includes the technology needed to process the collected data. It is at this juncture that TOGAF finds its greatest utility.
Business Architecture defines the business strategy, governance, and key business processes. To justify on an overview level, it may be said, TOGAF helps define and align business architecture with the other components of the enterprise architecture.
TOGAF ensures that applications are created in a way that intercommunication between them is efficient. Data exchange between them is well taken care of in the underlying architecture. Essential services from the application will be achieved due to the TOGAF 9.1 design that has systemic features in the whole IT environment.
There is impressive logical manner in arrangement of data assets that is observed. TOGAF makes it very easy to move huge chunks of data in a neat and organized way, without any loss of information.
The necessary software and hardware required to develop various application is well provided making IT work in an organized manner. Also, necessary support for the distribution of business, data, and application services is provided by TOGAF as it helps build suitable and needed IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications, processing, etc.
Like any complex mechanism, TOGAF-implementation does come with a few riders:
#1. It is difficult to learn and implement TOGAF in a vacuum, and in isolation. It is suggested that professionals learn the basics of the framework along with its implementation in a training course. It should be ensured that these training courses should be conducted by an organization that is accredited by The Open Group.
#2. TOGAF is a complicated framework and methodology that may require an entire team to manage its implementation. This team includes the manpower as well as the other forms of resources. The team will possibly be diverted from its primary function to perform this task.
#3. The methodologies advocated by the TOGAF documentations do not directly help in easing the management of Enterprise Architecture, but is limited to academically aid in organizing the architecture. It needs to be customized to suit the needs of organizations.
#4. The framework formalizes pre-design functions, thereby limiting the scope for experimentation and tweaking. The conventional method of figuring out what to produce at the end of an R&D process is not something TOGAF allows.
Nevertheless, as our discussion has demonstrated, the advantages and benefits to learning and utilizing TOGAF far outweigh its drawbacks, and getting a TOGAF certification will stand any professional interested in reaching the highest echelons of IT in good stead!
Why Should I Get TOGAF Certified?
For efficient utilization of the TOGAF framework, knowing how to beneficially implement TOGAF will prove profitable for organizations that wish to adopt this framework in its functioning, and TOGAF certified architects will continue to remain in high demand.
1. A certmag.com survey ranks TOGAF in the ninth position among the top 20 highest paying certifications in 2015. This is not surprising considering such organizations as IBM, HP, Oracle, Deloitte, Capgemini, CISCO and other leading giants are implementing TOGAF® methodologies to transform their businesses, thereby increasing the job opportunities and the subsequent demands for TOGAF certified architects.
2. Data from Indeed.com demonstrates why TOGAF is such a sought-after domain for certification by IT professionals:
