Introduction to TOGAF® 9.1 (.5 CPD)
TOGAF® Version 9.1
Enterprise Edition
TOGAF®, an Open Group Standard, is a proven enterprise architecture methodology and framework used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals. Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAF standards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, and realize a greater return on investment.
First developed in 1995, TOGAF was based on the US Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM). From this sound foundation, The Open Group Architecture Forum has developed successive versions of TOGAF at regular intervals and published them on The Open Group public web site.
TOGAF Version 9.1 is a maintenance update to TOGAF 9, addressing comments raised since the introduction of TOGAF 9 in 2009. It retains the major features and structure of TOGAF 9, thereby preserving existing investment in TOGAF, and adds further detail and clarification to what is already proven.
The standard is divided into seven parts:

Integrating TOGAF® into the Corporate DNA
Enterprise Architecture cannot be conceived in isolation and has to become part of an integrated management framework that, through governance, clearly delineates EA's role in conjunction with business planning, portfolio/project management, operations management, and solutions design. This tutorial addresses how EA, in particular TOGAF, can act as an integrative framework enabling all of these frameworks to collaboratively work together. The tutorial will briefly touch on existing case studies and recommended best practices."

America The Vulnerable: Inside the New Threat MatrixJoel Brenner, Author and Attorney, Cooley LLP
America the Vulnerable: Inside the New Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage, Crime and Warfare
In the last ten years, we have taken a porous and insecure network called the Internet and turned it into the financial, communications, and operational backbone of nearly everything we do. Porous networks mean information is easy to steal and operations easy to disrupt. As a result, our adversaries are taking us to the cleaners. We are losing advanced technology and other secrets at a rapid pace, and a shocking number of companies, law firms, universities, and other organizations are fundamentally insecure and oblivious to the seriousness of the threat. Industrial espionage has reached epidemic proportions, and it threatens our prosperity and that of our children and grandchildren. Joel Brenner explains how this crisis has come about and what we should do about it.

Systems Analysis
Risk Management: Integrating Cyber Security Requirements into Organizational Mission and Business ProcessesDr. Ron Ross, Project Leader, NIST
Opening up a Second Front on Risk Management: Integrating Cyber Security Requirements into Organizational Mission and Business Processes
For decades, we have been developing comprehensive cyber security standards and guidelines in both the public an private sectors. Yet, despite our best efforts, we have yet to realize the full potential of the standards, guidelines, and associated technologies because of an inability to fully integrate cyber security requirements into main stream organizational mission and business processes. We continue to treat cyber security as if it is distinct from enterprise architecture, the system development life cycle, systems engineering, and acquisition. Cyber security programs, initiatives, and investments must be closely linked to the routine cost, schedule, and performance issues that are the main focus of mission/business owners and program managers. Senior leaders must be able to effectively manage cyber security-related risks within their enterprises so that investment decisions and tradeoffs can address the whole spectrum of risks related to organizational missions and business operations. NIST, in developing its cyber security and risk management publications, is attempting to change the strategic focus on cyber security investments to support risk management decisions at the enterprise level.

Bringing Enterprise Architecture to the Enterprise by Leveraging TOGAF®John Sitarski, Enterprise Architect, Baker Hughes, Inc.
Bringing Enterprise Architecture to the Enterprise by Leveraging TOGAF®
Legacy systems and architectures are often ill-equipped to provide the levels of diligence and timeliness in reporting, process integration and control, and overall information security, that our growing and evolving business environment requires. Enterprise Architecture can bring order and structure amid this chaos, but bringing an EA into practice is itself, a major initiative.
This presentation discusses how a large oil services company launched an effective EA practice in a very compressed timeframe. By leveraging a modified TOGAF® and Architecture Development Method (ADM), and adding experienced Enterprise Architects from the outside the company to mentor highly skilled IT practitioners and subject matter experts from within, the new Enterprise Architecture group sought high value targets and delivered against them in record time. The value created brought confidence to EA's internal customers, and, with unwavering CIO support and a measure of self-promotion, EA created an ongoing demand for its services and established itself as a value creator for the company.
Key takeaways:
An understanding of how Enterprise Architecture can be launched within an organization, and can begin to create value almost immediately

Dependability Engineering for Open Systems (DEOS)
Dependability Engineering for Open Systems (DEOS)
The DEOS project has developed an architecture approach to handle system failures using two cycles: a failure response cycle and a design response cycle. The approach allows stakeholders in the architecture to reach an agreement upon the level of dependability needed in the system and the ability to detect and correct failures that arise. This dependability is documented in an Assurance Case using the DEOS D-Case tool. D-Case adds the added capability of being able to make dynamic Assurance Cases through real-time monitoring of a system in the operational phase of an architecture. The presentation will introduce a demo of a D-Case system and discuss plans for standardization as follows: D-Case/Agda available in 2012 as open source, and plans for a Dependability plug-in for TOGAF®, which could be an instantiation of the DEOS Process.

Secure Business Architecture or Just Security Architecture?Dave Hornford, Partner and Enterprise Architect, Conexiam, Canada
Secure Business Architecture or Just Security Architecture?
Chasing security without clarity in business architecture prevents an understanding of your benefits and operational requirements that drive an exposure to risk. Without this understanding a threat-based approach cannot provide security - operations will work around & circumvent the security to realize benefits without regard for risk, degrading security and increasing risk. Secure business architecture balances the benefits against the risk incurred in the operational model, information flows, regulation and deliberate attack.
Intended audience: Enterprise Architects, Security Architects, Business Architects, Change Leaders

Business Driven Security Architecture: Bridging the Executive ChasmGeoff Besko, CEO, Seccuris, Inc
Business Driven Security Architecture: Bridging the Executive Chasm
Security is often a dirty word in many organizations because it is seen as an inhibitor to "getting the job done". This view has begun changing as Enterprise Security Architects and Security Practitioners have begun adopting the language of risk management, but still they rely on the motivations based on fear or compliance to define their architectures and programs -- an unsustainable approach. There is still a chasm between the perspectives and language of the Security Architect / Practitioner and our executives that needs to be crossed. This presentation will discuss how to bridge this chasm and provide practical ways of demonstrating value and creating alignment in motivations and outcomes between the Architect / Practitioner and the executive.
Intended audience: enterprise architects, enterprise security architects, business leadership

Managing Change through Transitional ArchitectureSamira Askarova, We Solutions Group
Managing Change through Transitional Architecture
The way transitional architecture can help make large IT efforts that include transition from the legacy systems more manageable, cost-effective, and secure is in allowing the organization to implement discrete plateaus for the transition effort.The initial plateaus synch and organize only the data that is in high demand and critical to the users. The system learns from user preferences and brings together similar data elements for easy access and analytics. It then consolidates and standardizes frequently requested data in chunks, getting rid of the elements that no longer serve the needs of the organization. Overtime, the data that is never requested or used in any way gets archived and stored away, according to regulations or internal policies. In other words, transitional architecture helps create a network of "smart" systems that is continuously learning from user preferences and habits to be most responsive to their specific needs, as the needs evolve, as opposed to a traditional model of planning to move all data from the legacy systems to the new platforms under one big program or contract. There is no limit to how smart the network of systems can become. If we take an example of all the procurement data at a given government agency that may be stored in disparate ERP systems that don't interface with each other, a lightweight transitional platform could be created to track preferences by individual users, displaying personalized dashboards by specific job title or position requirements within an agency's procurement domain. It would be organized based on the procurement-related data categories accessed most frequently, while analyzing this information to best standardize the content and train personnel on one component of the new process at a time. This model aligns both technology and business-process changes for the users. The discrete plateaus provide certain stability and ownership of the transition process for the personnel and allow the integrated program team to manage change while moving gradually toward their end-goal.
Intended audience: IT strategy and security professionals, enterprise architects, change managers
Key takeaways:
1. How transitional architecture can be used to effectively manage both process and technology related changes in alignment with each other and at the same time
2. How transitional architecture can save cost both short and long-term, removing the need for the storage of data no longer needed by the organization
3. How transitional architecture can improve business outcomes, helping create smart systems that learn from the users and evolve as the needs of organizations evolve over time

Get your questions answered by those involved in developing TOGAF® and ArchiMate®, Open Group standards.
TOGAF®, an Open Group Standard, is a proven enterprise architecture methodology and framework used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals. Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAF standards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, and realize a greater return on investment.
ArchiMate®, an Open Group standard, is an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture. ArchiMate provides instruments to support enterprise architects in describing, analyzing and visualizing the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way.
Developed by the ArchiMate Forum of The Open Group, the latest technical standard is now more aligned with TOGAF®, the world's most popular Enterprise Architecture framework. As a result, enterprise architects using the language can improve the way key business and IT stakeholders collaborate and adapt to change.
ArchiMate 2.0 improves collaboration through clearer understanding across multiple functions, including business executives, enterprise architects, systems analysts, software engineers, business process consultants and infrastructure engineers. The new standard enables the creation of fully integrated models of an organization's Enterprise Architecture, the motivation behind it, and the programs, projects and migration paths to implement it. ArchiMate already follows terms defined in the TOGAF framework, and version 2.0 of the specification enables modeling through the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM).

Should I Be in the Cloud? What If It Rains?
The adoption curve for cloud computing is on the rise for enterprises. However, a majority of organizations still consider it to be more hype than reality, thereby failing to realize the benefits of disruptive innovation. There is a growing realization however that on-premise computing has its own limitations, much like how personal transportation, while quite feasible, is not necessarily the best answer for inter-continental travel. For many next generation applications the elastic and affordable power of the Cloud actually becomes a necessity.
Is it about time we started to govern the cloud? If so should this be limited to the technology or should it focus on the operating model (private/public) in order to make it more secure? These are the some of the important questions that organizations are asking today when adopting disruptive innovation in order to maximize "as a service" transformation enabling better reach and integration with customers, partners and suppliers.
This presentation is a game of jeopardy on high performance computing vs the risk brought by such technology, and it seeks to find some of the very pressing enterprise needs for which Cloud is the best answer.
Key takeaways:
- Details of qualifying enterprise 'use cases' or workloads
- Corresponding business cases and technical demands for Cloud
- Details of how we can apply Cloud control to drive better benefits
- Reference architecture (How to tap into the benefits? How to manage the risks?)
- Lessons from early adopters

Enterprise Architecture vs. Collection of Architectures in EnterpriseDr. Yan Zhao, Chief Architect, ArchiTech Consulting LLC
Enterprise Architecture vs. Collection of Architectures in Enterprise
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is becoming popular in most private enterprises these days due to the practical needs in this era of IT, after its noticeable fading in public sectors. At this stage, the lessons learned from public sectors could be very helpful to the EA adoption in both public and private sectors in moving forward.
We noticed that there is still no unified answer regarding to what is EA and what should be in it. It is not rare to see that so called "EA" is to use an EA tool and/or an EA repository to collect all type of "architecture" artifacts inside enterprise. These "architecture" artifacts are developed in different timeframes, cover different level of content details, and are created from different perspectives for different purpose. While a real EA should consist of "architecture" artifacts in concert by planning ahead with a designated purpose for each view. The level of details is good enough to convey intent and to serve the purpose, no more and no less.
This presentation will discuss the differences between enterprise architecture and a collection of architectures in enterprise. This presentation will discuss the differences between enterprise architecture and a collection of architectures in enterprise. It will help to clarify the focus in each phase and stage of EA development (e.g. TOGAF®) to ensure successful EA adoptions in solutions, initiatives, programs, and projects.
Intended audience: enterprise architects, solution and system architecture, CIO/CTO, business segment leaders, program/project managers, etc.
Key takeaways:
1. The purposes of doing EA
2. The differences between EA and a collection of architectures in enterprise

Cloud Strategy Adoption Based on the Cloud LifecyclePenelope Gordon, Cloud Strategist, 1Plug Corporation
Cloud Strategy Adoption Based on the Cloud Lifecycle
Though business strategies for generating revenue or internally recovering costs from cloud computing offer higher rewards than strategies based on offering less resource-intensive solutions and/or custom services, the risks are also higher - especially when missteps are not identified and corrected early. In this session I will describe a process for adopting a cloud business strategy which mitigates those risks, keeps investors committed until breakeven, and avoids costly false starts. This process is based on the Producer's and Internal Supplier's views of the four-phase Cloud Lifecycle. (The corresponding buyer's view of the Cloud Lifecycle was described in The Open Group Guide Book: "Cloud Computing for Business: The Open Group Guide".
Intended audience: Individuals who create, recommend, or influence cloud business strategies

Best Practices in Communicating to Enterprise Management Using the IT PortfolioTJ Parro, Enterprise Architect, and Jim May, Instructor, Metaplexity Associates
Best Practices in Communicating to Enterprise Management Using the IT Portfolio
What if you could pull together the many oblique, fragmented views of your systems into a multidimensional view to communicate with technology staff? IT and agency staff know about half the existing systems very well. Most of the business stakeholders are vaguely uncomfortable about what they actually pay for IT and whether IT is operating efficiently. Chances are it is a bargain. Chances are its pretty efficient. Chances are you can't prove it. The systems have evolved over anywhere from 5 to 25 years. The actual size, shape, and mission of these assets is blurred and lost over time. IT knows these systems from different perspectives such as application architecture, networking topologies, PMO status, contracts, org charts, and financials. A true 3-D orthogonal view "composite picture" of systems from the enterprise perspective is long lost. What does the enterprise portfolio really look like? Observation tells us that enterprise management will know about half of the actual applications being used in the organization. Will it be possible to consolidate IT and transform enterprise IT with a view this limited?
Intended audience: Enterprise Architects; Enterprise Leadership
Key takeaways:
1) Demonstrated best practice in Enterprise Portfolio Management (EPM) focused on applications and services

Business Architecture: Integrating Business Design and IT architecture for Target Operating ModelsProteus Duxbury, Managing Consultant, PA Consulting Group
Business Architecture: Integrating Business Design and IT architecture to Build Scalable Target Operating Models
Increased emphasis is being placed on the importance and necessity of Business Architecture as the foundation of successful enterprise wide process and IT realignment initiatives. However Business and Enterprise Architecture programs too frequently fail to bridge the divide between business and IT because they are focused on either business design or IT architecture, but rarely both. While frameworks such as TOGAF® have gone some way to address this there is still some way to go and few current approaches truly integrate the realms of business design and IT architecture. So what is missing from current approaches and how can TOGAF architects ensure greater robustness in their modelling of their business?
During this talk we will present a comprehensive approach to complementing TOGAF and enabling the design of a Target Operating Model (TOM) by integrating business design and IT architecture. There are three phases that we will describe:
Phase 1: Confirms the strategic intent and current business challenge to agree specific design principles that will guide the design activity
Phase 2: Develops target operating model options and assess them against the original design principles
Phase 3: Develops the detailed design to implement an agreed TOM, which will be delivered with client engagement at the heart of the approach.
During this talk we will provide clear guidance on how to succeed at each phase and show clearly how the approach can be used within the TOGAF lifecycle and Architecture Development Method (ADM). We will share insight from real life programs where we have seen these principles applied.
Intended audience: Business and Enterprise Architects, TOGAF pracitioners, Program Managers, Business and IT Leadership, CxO
Key takeaways:
The audience will learn a new approach to complimenting TOGAF with a number of business design principles and techniques that can be applied immediately. They will also learn how these have been applied successfully elsewhere and how it relates to the TOGAF lifecycle and ADM. Principles inlude:
1. Design around the needs of the customer and organization's future strategy (e.g. their scenario). Ensure you can articulate who an organisation's key customer groups are, how they perceive 'value' is delivered and the future goals where the organisation needs to be.
2. Design the organization bottom-up ensuring processes, capabilities and structures support the delivery of 'what the organization needs to do well' to deliver value to core customers in the most efficient way possible.
3. Be conscious that there are several ways to design an organization, therefore designing several target operating model options before proceeding to detailed design ensures there are clear decision making points in the process.

Architecting the Cloud: Enterprise Architecture Patterns for Cloud ComputingBeryl Bellman and Prakash Rao, FEAC Institute
Architecting the Cloud: Enterprise Architecture Patterns for Cloud Computing
The Cloud Computing community has evolved through a combination of innovation, technology savvy and opportunistic embrace of a new promising technology. Cloud computing is impacting consumer computing as much as in academia, federal government, defense and in commercial companies. There are as many opinions and best practices out there as there are consultants out to make hay while the sun shines. TOGAF® and enterprise architecture frameworks such as the DoDAF/MODAF/Zachman represent a well-orchestrated, deliberate architecting method to plan complex and major IT investments and to get a handle on the various factors that can make or break a technology based initiative. In this presentation we show how we can systematically apply the concepts of architecting using Viewpoints, Views/Models, concerns and the use of common, standard architecture elements building reusable architectural patterns to the cloud initiative to reduce risks, improve planning and grab the technology advantage that cloud computing promises - for the cloud consumer, vendor, carrier, broker, auditor and other stakeholders.
Intended audience: Enteprise Architects, Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Business Unit Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Cl
Key takeaways:
1. Understand a clear framework for cloud planning that separates concerns and allows me to identify exactly what my concerns and needs are and how to plan for these.
2. Understand that attacking technology opportunities requires a planned strategy that must cover multiple viewpoints such as cost, revenues, risk, engineering, operations, technology standards and many others but there is a structured way to think about all of these and factor them into the planning.
3. Understand architectural patterns relevant to the various viewpoints to use for enterprise transformation using the cloud
