Enterprise Architecture Training – Foundation
New applications, cloud solutions, or changes to business processes rarely operate in isolation. Enterprise architecture therefore considers business, data, applications, and technology holistically and reveals the interconnections within the entire architecture.
Key Topics:
- Fundamentals and Terminology of TOGAF®
- Business, data, application, and technology architecture
- Architecture Development Method (ADM)
- Stakeholders, Requirements, and Architecture Goals
- Governance and Architecture Capability
- Maintenance and Further Development of Architectures
Prerequisite:
A basic understanding of IT systems, business processes, or organizational structures is beneficial.
Target Audience:
IT architects, enterprise architects, business analysts, consultants, project managers, and professionals working in digital transformation and IT strategy.
The TOGAF® Fundamentals help to integrate business and technical perspectives into a unified architecture model.

When does a company need enterprise architecture?
- When business strategy, processes, data, and the IT landscape need to be aligned, enterprise architecture provides a common framework for change.
What distinguishes TOGAF® from traditional IT architecture?
- TOGAF® does not focus solely on technical systems; rather, it integrates business, data, application, and technology architectures within a comprehensive architectural framework.
What is the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method?
- The ADM is the central process model for the development and refinement of enterprise architectures—from goal setting through implementation and management.
For which professional roles is knowledge of TOGAF® relevant?
- They are particularly relevant for enterprise architects, solution architects, business architects, and roles in IT strategy, transformation, and architecture management.
Does TOGAF® help with the modernization of an IT landscape?
- Yes. Existing and desired architectures can be compared in a structured way, and the changes needed for the transformation can be planned.
What role does TOGAF® play in cloud and digital transformation projects?
- The framework helps to integrate technological changes into the overall architecture and to highlight dependencies between business requirements, applications, data, and infrastructure.
Is knowledge of architecture required to get started?
- Extensive TOGAF® experience is not required for the Foundation level. However, a basic understanding of IT structures, business processes, or architecture makes it easier to grasp the technical concepts.
What comes after the TOGAF® Foundation?
- After covering the fundamentals, participants can deepen their knowledge at the Practitioner level, with a stronger focus on applying the TOGAF® method in specific architecture scenarios.
