WHAT MAKES
THIS COURSE
DIFFERENT? There are now quite a few
courses addressing Enterprise
Architecture from a
methodology point of view
(e.g. Open Group's TOGAF or
Zachman).
There are also courses that
address specific vendor
applications such as SAP,
Oracle, Microsoft etc.
The former lack detail on how
to model applications
architectures, how to analyse
the resulting models and
strategies to achieve better
solutions, integration and
quality. The latter are too
specific and do not address
the broader issues of
interfaces, interoperation and
integration.
Moving from the conceptual
level, through logical
applications and down to
physical applications and
components, this course
covers the levels of
application modeling and
management required to fully
understand applications at an
enterprise level.
It also discusses existing and
emerging technologies to
help the organisation
leverage application
investment to strategic
advantage, from high volume
transaction processing, to
decision support, from secure
private data to distributed
mobile applications. It further
provides an introduction to
the emerging fields of SaaS
and cloud based applications.

Prerequisites
There are no formal
prerequisites.
Target audience
Typical candidates would
include application architects,
integration architects,
enterprise architects, senior
business analysts and security
and privacy specialists
responsible for application
related aspects.

applications (e.g. the websites,
portals, web services, mobile
apps and applications)
exposed outside their
traditional user base will also
benefit.
Methodology
Rich use of examples and
selected short videos will be
used to stimulate thinking
beyond the norm. You will be
connected to sources of
information for ongoing
enrichment.
Case study work in small
teams allows delegates to
perform analysis and devise
architectures and strategies.
Teams compete and learn from
each other before experiencing
another facet of the challenge.
This course stresses holistic
consideration and the interplay
of many facets that affect the
outcome of architecture
decisions.
