Why should you choose TONEX for your Enterprise Architecture Training?

Enterprise Architecture training guides you with the development of architecture development reference architecture and needed architectural information that can be provided in advance to an enterprise to enable consistent architectural best practices. Architecting the enterprise guides business owners to actualize their strategies, vision, objectives, and principles. Enterprises using these Tonex’s  Enterprise Architecture training say that they have benefited from using the useful, proven and tested Enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks and standards and they are able to speak the same EA language.

Enterprise Architecture definition by Gartner: Enterprise architecture (EA) is a discipline for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes. EA delivers value by presenting business and IT leaders with signature-ready recommendations for adjusting policies and projects to achieve target business outcomes that capitalize on relevant business disruptions.

Enterprise Architecture methodologies and frameworks training leads to business efficiency through our enterprise architecture training. Using basic to advanced business and technology analysis and planning techniques, learn to establish an enterprise architecture program, and gain the expertise to achieve Certified Enterprise Architect certification.

Specialize your skills by taking the Enterprise Architecture training and learn unique industry-standard enterprise architecture methodologies and framework such as TOGAF, DoDAF, MoDAF, FEAF, NAF, UPDM, UAF and more.

The Open Group standards and certification programs for Enterprise Architecture have been adopted worldwide. Members involved in their evolution gain access to relevant knowledge, resources and experience, and have the opportunity to network with a world-class community of experts and peers. This enables them to grow professionally, gain personal recognition, and establish professional contacts.

Architecting the enterprise also evaluates the IT systems, based on Reference Architecture goals, principles, and standards. It helps to reduce IT costs and overall enterprise modernization and transformation.

Enterprise Architecture Training, EA Crash Course  is more than the collection of the constituent architectures (Business, Application, Technology, and Information). All our instructors are TOGAF 8/9 Certified and have extensive knowledge and skills in EA, TOGAF, DoDAF, Zachman, FEAF, CEAF, NAF, MoDAF, RUP and more.

Enterprise Architecture Training, a true EA Crash Course is a conceptual tool that assists organizations with the understanding of their own structure and the way they work.

It provides a map of the enterprise and is a route planner for business and technology change.

Enterprise Architecture Training  will also focus on the essential elements required for developing results-driven Enterprise Architecture (EA) programs that are designed to meet your requirements. It clearly explains enterprise architecture’s vital role in enabling—or constraining—the execution of business strategy.

Enterprise Architecture Courses  provide clear frameworks, thoughtful case examples, and a proven-effective structured process for designing and implementing effective enterprise architectures.

WHAT ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE TRAINING CERTIFICATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
