Introduction to TOGAF® 9.1 (.5 CPD)David Jackson, Chief Enterprise Architect, Architecting-the-Enterprise, US
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:
Advanced Concepts in Applying TOGAF® 9 (1 CPD)Serge Thorn, CIO, Architecting the Enterprise
Once you are using TOGAF to develop Enterprise Architecture in your organisation then there are two areas that will need to be focussed on if Enterprise Architecture is to thrive and grow.
To achieve all this the enterprise architects need to develop the roadmap for the journey towards excellence - then implement it so that they can reap the rewards of advanced TOGAF thinking.
Serge Thorn, CIO, Architecting the Enterprise. Currently Serge is developing and delivering new Enterprise Architecture consulting - training services (TOGAF 9) for several companies (Banking/Finance-Pharma-Major IT vendors). Implementing Governance within a consultancy company.
What is New in ArchiMate® 2.0 | Introduction to the ArchiMate Forum (.5 CPD)Raina Wissing, The Open Group
ArchiMate® 2.0, an Open Group Standard, is now fully aligned with TOGAF®
The Open Group released ArchiMate® 2.0, the latest version of the organization's open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture. 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).
The following ArchiMate 2.0 certification programs will also be available:

EA and Transformation : An Enterprise Issue, a New Role for the CIO?Hervé Gouezel, Advisor to CEO, BNP Paribas; and Eric Boulay, Founder and CEO, Arismore
Why there are always questions about EA – holistic EA, EITA… and why enterprise transformation is still slow and painful ? To get an inside view of the question, we decided to set up a multi cultural workgroup in 2010 which gathered six C-level executives coming from large companies and different industries (Bank, Industry, Retail, Telecommunication, IT); the outcome is beyond previous expectation : IT and non IT executives are sharing the same urgency and leverages to improve the way enterprise is managing transformation:
The presentation will go through best practices and C-Level advice in order to concurrently manage the 3 transformation leverages and to make enterprise architects task easier and transformation timeframe more predictable.
Hervé Gouezel, as Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer, BNP Paribas, he focuses specifically on the scope of Enterprise Architecture, Functional and Technical Architectures and Information systems of the Group. A former student of Ecole Polytechnique (1972) MBA graduate of HEC (1977), Hervé GOUËZEL began his career at the SEITA in management accounting control and subsequently in the information systems department, where he became its Manager in 1984.

Why We Can't Agree on What We Mean by Enterprise ArchitectureLeonard Fehskens, VP Skills and Capabilities, The Open Group, US
The enterprise architecture is having a difficult time converging on a consensus as to what business architecture in particular, and enterprise architecture in general, is about. There is a proliferation of definitions of both concepts, and all of these definitions are nitpicked from within the community. As the discipline seeks true professional status, we will have to some agreement as to what it is we are doing. What is it about the subject, or the way we think about the subject, that is making this agreement so elusive?
This presentation will explore the many unspoken and often incompatible assumptions we make about what we do, and what we can do to make them explicit and perhaps ultimately reconcile them.
Those who attend this session will:
Len Fehskens is responsible for all The Open Group's activites relating to the professionalization of the discipline of enterprise architecture.

Characteristics, Roles and Responsibilities of the Modern Day Systems Architect - Lessons from the FieldDaljit Banger, S-EA-T.COM Ltd., UK
In 2010, Daljit published an interesting article entitled 'Characteristics, roles and responsibilities of the modern day Systems Architect'. This presentation will explore the elements discussed in the article in which the following was presented;
The word architect has always been synonymous with the design and construction of buildings. However, the IT community has now adopted this term to describe individuals whose primary objectives are centred on the design and delivery of process and system blueprints. This term architect, independent of the selected architectural framework the organisation has adopted, is now appended onto too many roles in IT departments, particularly those previously associated with subject matter experts.
This tagging has resulted in confusion surrounding the demarcation between that of the activity and that of the responsibility of the individual. During this presentation we provide a brief description of the main architectural roles(Enterprise, Solution & Technical) , the associated duties, the key 'real world' deliverables and some basic characteristics and experience one should expect from such an individual.

Managing Business Capabilities - Segway for Enterprise TransformationJean-Claude Franchitti, Cognizant
Enterprise Business Architecture, is in a sense, a model of business capabilities. Business capabilities help realize enterprise strategies and typically bring the true enterprise flavor as it operates at a level above internal departmental boundaries. The ambit of business capabilities now spreads far outside of 'external' enterprise boundary - in an increasingly flat world, no company dreams to create all business capabilities in house. It is more important than ever before to have a clear view of 'core' and 'noncore' capabilities, and understand
We plan to propose a model and discuss how by applying the model of business capabilities, enterprises can manage and guide their own evolution through the world of mergers and divestitures.

Successfully Implementing EA with TOGAF® and ArchimMate®Henry Franken, CEO, BiZZdesign, Netherlands
A complete approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires:
TOGAF® 9, an Open Group standard, is the defacto global standard for Enterprise Architecture. It is used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. ArchiMate®, an open and independent modelling language for enterprise architecture, provides instruments to enable enterprise architects to describe, analyze and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. It is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.
Just as an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains. standard is the leading language for integrated EA modelling, describing the business, application and technology layers and their relationships. In a recent update of the language, two extensions have been added for modelling the motivation for the architecture (e.g., goals, principles and business requirements) and implementation and migration planning.
Based on a comprehensive case study of application portfolio rationalization in a post-merger insurance company, this presentation will show how ArchiMate is used with TOGAF to improve business efficiency.

Building Semantic Interoperability in Europe: Federation of Semantic Asset RepositoriesJoão Rodrigues Frade, Senior Manager, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Belgium
Public administrations, businesses, standardisation bodies and academia produce many business process models, data models, code lists, etc. These artefacts, if (re)used, can facilitate semantic interoperability in Europe. Promoting a common way to describe them would make it possible for everyone to search and discover them.
The European Commission, in the context of the ISA programme, has created a Working Group of Experts to define a common European metadata vocabulary to describe artefacts relevant to interoperability. The Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) will enable the description of artefacts in a common way throughout Europe. From mid 2012, the Joinup platform, implemented under the ISA programme, will make it possible for ADMS implementers to upload the descriptions of their artefacts according to ADMS. This will enable the creation of a federation of semantic artefacts. Through this federation, semantic artefacts will become retrievable and available via a single point of access.
Those attending this session will learn to understand:
João Rodrigues Frade is a Senior Manager in the PwC Technology Consulting practice, focusing on systems interoperability via the use of service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud technologies and enterprise architecture (EA).

New technologies in cloud computing, mobility devices and analytics provide extensive opportunities. However, new technology alone will not address business objectives. Performance and security requirements must be addressed by the new technology solutions as well, and these must be directly linked to business requirements, with clear "line-of-sight." With the proposed TOGAF®-based enterprise architecture approach, organizations can leverage new technology to achieve much of The Open Group's "Boundaryless Information Flow" vision. A scenario-based technique will be presented as well to illustrate effective ways to document and analyze this approach.
Those who attend this session will learn how:
Dr. Daniel Spar has over 20 years of international management consulting experience in technology strategy and architecture. Dr. Spar contributed to federal standards in data and process modeling, and has presented at over 30 academic and professional conferences. Spar is an adjunct professor at 3 universities. Co-presenter Florian Quarre has 10 years of international management consulting experience.

TOGAF® and BIAN (the Banking Industry Architecture Network)Thomas Obitz, Principal Advisor, KPMG LLP, UK & Paul Bonnie, ING, NL
There are synergies in using BIAN, the Banking Industry Architecture Network, in combination with TOGAF®, an open industry consensus framework and method for enterprise architecture. When applying TOGAF in a banking environment, the BIAN content will contribute to speed up the work by providing banking industry specific architecture content.
In the white paper presented, both TOGAF® and BIAN are mapped to each other. The leverage of the BIAN Service Landscape in the context of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) is further elaborated. For each step in an architecture development process, the integration of BIAN deliverables, especially the BIAN Service Landscape, is described.
In applying both industry frameworks in an integrated way, Enterprise Architects will be able to speed up their work and improve quality and consistency of the architecture products they deliver.

Business Models and Enterprise Architecture: Connecting Innovation and ImplementationRemco Blom, Senior Enterprise Architecture Consultant, BiZZdesign, The Netherlands
In this presentation we give a short introduction on the popular Business Model Canvas and explain how to apply this as a business architect. Business Models help the modern architect to present architectural views in a business relevant context! The power of the Business Model Canvas approach is illustrated with a case that shows how a large research organisation innovates its business model in a tough economic climate. But what is your next step?
Once you have your Business Model defined, you should be able to relate this to your enterprise architecture. We present a well thought through approach on how to relate business model canvasses to architecture approaches and models to be able to create realistic implementation roadmaps.

How to Maximize EAM Value by Optimal Anchoring in the OrganizationAneta Nowobilska, Detecon International GmbH, Germany
Based on experience from numerous projects in global enterprises, we observe that EAM brings the most significant benefits once it is mature enough and properly anchored in the organization. At our customer companies, we see a shift from the typical bisection between business and IT to a central area for business and IT planning with a strong EAM focus as a necessary step to optimal positioning of the EAM in the organization.
Based on the elements of the architecture capability as described in TOGAF® 9, we established differently the architecture board in these organizations. Also the interplay of relevant roles, in particular the architects and their involvement in the enterprise-wide process model is different in these two cases. Taking the TOGAF® 9 architecture capability as starting point, we developed it further together with our customers and derived specific training programs for enterprise architects enabling realization of the holistic TOGAF®9-like EAM function in described organization types. We trained about 300 architects in these organizations. We present respective findings from these projects and enrich the core content of this speech by comparisons to other branches such as telecommunication and automotive.
Those attending this session will:

Building the Case for a New Open Group Standards Effort, AVOS, to Enable Advanced Virtual Management for Virtualized Security ApplicationsShawn Mullen, IBM, Power Software Security Architect
There is a fast growing application segment for virtualization management. These applications span the management of virtual servers, network and storage resources. However, there is not an open standard for these APIs.
Similar work in this area is exemplified by the success of DMTF - OVF (Distributed Management Task Force – Open Virtualization Format). [1] The OVF xml data type definition is widely adopted by virtual management system. The OVF XML is capable of defining virtual resources require to create a virtual server (VS) and the software manifest to provision the VS. This OVF is created and used by the Management Console (MC). OVF is ubiquitous standard, which owes is success to VMware's adoption and leadership in the DMTF standard process. However there are no similar standards for advanced and specialized virtual management functions, such as network Intrusion Prevention Systems. Such functionality typically runs within a Privileged Virtual Machine (PVM). The PVM is commonly running a UNIX or Linux based OS to support the general needs of the advanced virtual management application. This presentation will describe a new proposed AVOS standards effort. This proposed standard will benefit the advanced virtual management application by providing a standardized set of APIs within the PVM to monitor and control the virtual system.

Enterprise 3.0 - How the "Big Data" Paradigm is Rewriting Tomorrow's Enterprise Architecture DirectionSoumen Chatterjee, Senior Technology Architect, Infosys, UK
Enterprise 3.0 - How "Big Data" paradigm rewriting tomorrows Enterprise Architecture Direction Businesses sit on information foundation and therefore on data and, and every second that passes, today's enterprise generate some more. Business now requires power to be adaptive and predictive.
Enterprise Architecture needs lot more than business, technology, information and application architecture to be future proof. Enterprise must go beyond "Build to Last" to "Build to Adapt". Innovation and "blue Ocean" strategy, without any doubt will drive the next generation enterprise strategy and therefore tomorrow's EA. On the other hand, globalization mandates optimized operational efficiency and demands business and technology transformation to be competitive. "Big Data" is now drawing the line between success and failure of these business imperatives.
This session will take a deep dive into Big Data driven Enterprise Architecture. It will show how Data has become a game changer and why do we need to consider Big Data seriously as part of our Enterprise Strategy and Architecture. Welcome to Enterprise 3.0

The Architecture Management Office, Instrumental to Successful Enterprise Architecture AdoptionPeter Thomsen, Cisco Services, Germany
In this session I will discuss how the Architecture Management Office concept combined with a formal change management strategy can be used to establish Enterprise Architecture.
The Architecture Management Office (AMO) provides architecture governance and architectural advice, owns and drive the process of translating business vision and strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and improving the key requirements, principles and models that describe the enterprise's future state and enable its evolution.
Gartner's Change Management Framework (CMF) outlines the elements of EA-enabled organizational change management as a way to overcome the top barriers of change and thereby ensuring a more successful architecture effort. The model is simpler and more practical than many academic approaches pitched by the change management industry.
The clear benefit of taking this approach is it overcomes the obstacles to change and ensures a clear link between Enterprise business- and IT-strategy.
The AMO+CMF ultimately warrants a fit-for-purpose enterprise architecture that is agile and transparent, capable of responding faster to market changes.
Those who attend this session will learn how the:

Business Requirements as the Basis for Enterprise Architecture and Project ArchitecturesHarmen van den Berg, Director, BiZZdesign, The Netherlands
Demands and wishes from managers, users and other stakeholders, or in other words the business requirements, are the basis for any organizational change project.
The quality of the enterprise architecture, the project architectures, and the IT systems developed based on these architectures, is largely determined by the way the business requirements are fulfilled. Also within TOGAF®9 requirements are important. This requires a systematic approach for requirements analysis and management; especially for the business requirements that determine the contents of the enterprise architecture, and not only for the detailed IT requirements.
In this presentation we will present our approach for business requirements management, and show how this can be modeled and analyzed using the ArchiMate® language and supporting tools.

Modeling TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture using OMG Standards (UML, BPMN, ...)Philippe Desfray, VP for R&D, SOFTEAM, France
"It is highly desirable that an architecture description be encoded in a standard language, to enable a standard approach to the description of architecture semantics and their re-use among different tools." (TOGAF® 9.1) Using the most appropriate OMG modeling standards (UML, BPMN, pieces of SysML, BMM, ODM, SoaML, ...) and providing extensions (UML proviles) dedicated to TOGAF, this presentation describes how each diagram artifact defined by TOGAF can be represented. Defining an appropriate mapping, organizing these artifacts within viewpoints and providing dedicated extensions provides a modeling support that can adddress each stakeholder's concerns, and has the expressive power of these modeling standards.
This exercise provides examples of artifacts modeling support, that helps companies during the preliminary phase of the ADM. Using modeling standards has the advantage of being able to use a large number of modeling tools on the market, and to provide a solution familiar to the numerous practitioners of UML or BPMN. It give a concrete start to use these broad and generic standards (TOGAF, UML, ...)in a focused way.

Architecture for Social Business - Is it a Cloud?Stuart Boardman, Senior Business Consultant, KPN Consulting, Netherlands
Social Business creates some new challenges for enterprise architecture and for IT architecture. A social business is by definition an extended enterprise. Information Technology is a more or less essential component of a social business – not just a support function but actually a defining element of doing business. The information technology services that make a social business social are overwhelmingly delivered out of the Cloud. In fact a social business can be envisaged as a sort of Cloud (but not just computing). It involves collaboration in networks of people at all levels both within and (potentially) outside the organization. That in turn means that not everything can or should be captured as fixed rules - that we need to actively engage with change and uncertainty.
This presentation will look at both how to do enterprise architecture under these circumstances and how the IT architecture of this ecosystem of parties and systems can benefit from Cloud models.
Those who attend this session will learn:
Stuart Boardman has been involved in IT for more than 25 years but still likes to regard himself as an outsider. As a business consultant for KPN Consulting he co-leads both the EA and Cloud practices. He is also co-chair of The Open Group "Security for the Cloud and SOA" project. Stuart's work requires him to understand and relate the concerns of business strategists at one extreme and technology architects at the other - and sometimes he succeeds! In his spare time Stuart plays music (his original professional ambition), runs and tries not to get too upset about the state of the world.

What is the Best Way to Link Architectrure Decisions and Architecture Principles?
Goals are translated into requirements on a possible solution. This translation from goal to requirements, and thus from problem to solution, is guided by principles. Principles are more general and need to be specialized into requirements to enforce that solutions conform to principles. Principles and requirements are strongly related. Architecture principles can be considered as general requirements that govern and constrain all possible designs (Architecture decisions) of some enterprise architecture in a given context.

Open Service Federation FrameworkDipanjan Sengupta, Principal Architect, Cognizant Technology Solutions, US
The Open Service Federation Framework addresses the need for automated, rule-based sharing of service and service artifacts across different domains within an enterprise or across enterprises. These domains or enterprises may have their service registries implemented on different technology stacks. The framework allows the federation architect to define the relationship model between the different domains of an enterprise and set up the rules for the sharing of service and service artifacts between the federated domains. The framework, besides creating the entry for the service in the registry of the target domain and triggering the appropriate workflow for its adoption, also creates the proxy for the service in the mediation infrastructure (typically an enterprise service bus) of the target domain, as and when the service is accepted.

Greenfield Enterprise Architecture ImplementationSalim Sheikh, IT Strategy Advisor, Integrating the Enterprise, UK
Transforming a business often requires focus on people, process and technology. While a lot of effort is spent on process and technology, the people who will sustain any change and drive real innovation are often an afterthought.
What role does EA play in building a team culture for a sustainable transformation initiative? How do you introduce EA as a new concept in an Organisation? Where do you start when no formal processes or practices exist? How do you turn around an IT organisation that has suffered from no leadership or strategy?
This case study outlines answers to some of these questions and outlines how to establish EA in a way that promotes idea sharing and mutual respect.

Application and Process Integration in the Cloud: Key Challenges and Remedial StrategiesSamrat Ray, Senior Principal Product Manager, Oracle Business Integration Group
Along with the continuously increasing cloud computing momentum the integration of applications and business processes in the context of cloud computing, typically a highly distributed environment, is posing some newer challenges and resurrecting some of the old ones.
While we have made significant progress in the application and process integration realm in the past two decades with better disciplines of SOA, data handling and BPM, in a rush to combine and leverage the information assets of multiple cloud based applications there appears to be a re-emergence of the older point-to-point (P2P) and ad hoc integration which, as we have already witnessed before, will invariably lead to the expensive, rigid and unreliable "integration spaghetti". Transactionality, end-to-end transaction visibility and exception handling are also challenges for a multi-app/multi-cloud solution.
This presentation will summarize the main integration patterns applicable to various styles of cloud implementation, identify some of the key challenges and suggest appropriate remedial strategies.

Assessing Architectural SignificanceJames Hosey, Senior Consultant, Systems Flow, Inc., US
Knowing when and where to engage an architect is a critical factor in successfully managing an IT portfolio, particularly in organizations where architects are scarce -- and often expensive -- resources. Many times it is clear which projects would benefit from the participation of an architect; in other cases, the decision is not so obvious. In these not-so-obvious cases, a structured means of assessing a project's architectural significance is key.
This instructional session presents a lightweight, flexible set of techniques and guidelines for assessing the architectural significance of a project to aid in determining when to engage an architect. Using real-world examples, we will demonstrate these techniques and their application, and will explore how they can be tailored to fit IT organizations of different sizes and with various portfolio mixes.

Transforming Into a Knowledge-Based Enterprise Using TOGAF®Robert Weisman, CEO, Build The Vision, Inc., Canada
Boundaryless Information Flow has never been more crucial than now in a post-industrial knowledge-based economy. Becoming an analytical competititor and/or master of service delivery requires the marshalling of enterprise knowledge to enable competitive analytics and decision support. Whether the enterprise is a private sector company, a government department, academia or a non-government organization, the ability to leverage the extensive information holdings now available require a focused knowledge/information architecture that deals with information in all of its forms and gets the right information to the right person at the right time. This presentation elaborates the creation of an enterprise knowledge architecture in an extended TOGAF 9 context going from vision to execution. It incorporates the latest innovations in competitive analytics, government (including defence/defense), the Data Management Association(DAMA/DMBOK) and the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA/COBIT).

Facts Beat Hypes: Ignite Your Cloud Journey with Solid EA ArgumentsAndre Pedro, Senior Manager, Deloitte, Portugal; and Patrick Buech, Senior Product Manager, Software AG
Cloud Computing is no longer a buzzword, it is here to stay. Characteristics like on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, rapid elasticity and pay per use capture the attention of every CIO pursuing infrastructure, cost reduction and service quality improvement. The benefits are well known but justifying a migration to the cloud may not be so easy to communicate and, above all, quantify.
Most of time, the problem resides on the lack of trusty information to develop a proper business case to justify a Cloud Computing service adoption. To develop a business case for Cloud Computing adoption, two key questions must be answered:
These questions require qualitative analysis (business value, strategic importance, appetite for risk, financial investment, resource availability) and quantitative analysis (on-premise vs. cloud service cost model, differentiated service model (e.g. IaaS vs. SaaS), cost saving). T
he apparent simplicity of the above analysis hides the complexity in getting it done correctly. We propose a 2-step approach
For this to be carried out, a combination of EA-specific & Financial Analysis capabilities is required (i) modeling and relating business, application and technology architectures; (ii) analyzing architecture towards detailing application costs, business impacts and technical impacts; & (iii) financial modeling to quantify benefits, costs, and key decision-making financials (eg cash-flow dynamics, net present value & pay-back). We believe that adopting this approach will bring Cloud discussions to more factual, value-driven and "CxO appealing" speech, thus helping to steer through the much-hyped though inevitable Cloud trend.

Recalculating: Scenarios & Revision for a Live RoadmapDave Hornford, Partner, Conexiam Solutions Inc., Canada
Is your crystal ball perfect? Did the future unfold according to your plan? Is there a fork in the road? An end of the road? Or, did reality happen and you need a new road? Clouds, credit, succession, and project success all change the future. When your crystal ball is murky, or preferences fluid, utilizing scenarios supports deferring real choice until it must be made. Real roadmap's require lifecycle management - review, revision & wind-up.

Cloud? Get your Infrastructure Architecture to a Higher Level!Daniel Jumelet, Consultant - Infrastructure & Architecture, Sogeti Netherlands BV
More and more, infrastructure is being purchased as a product (Cloud). This decreases the autonomy that many construction-oriented infrastructure architects and senior infrastructure designers have been enjoying until now in selecting the resources, generating the technical design and in realizing the final solution (building and constructing). Whereas the architecture of
What we do want, instead, is an insight into the functionality and the quality of the products we select and purchase. This is where a more mature form of infrastructure architecture comes in. This lecture does explain what this renewed infrastructure architecture looks like and how it is possible to get to this level.
