Enterprise architects in South Africa seeking to take their craft to the next level with the ArchiMate modelling language can do so for the first time in Africa. That’s the word from Real IRM, which has become one of only six organisations worldwide accredited to provide an ArchiMate 2.0 certification-training course.
Available as a free download for internal use, ArchiMate is an open, vendor-agnostic international standard. ArchiMate 2.0 is aligned with TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework), with the association being deepened by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum.
Real IRM provides enterprise architecture products and services to both local and international organisations across industry verticals, says chief executive officer Stuart Macgregor.
“ArchiMate provides the concepts for high-level modelling of the various architectural domains within complex enterprises,” he explains; these include processes, applications, information, and technology.
He adds that enterprise architecture also stresses the relationships between domains, which are catered for within the ArchiMate modelling language. “The integrated models which ArchiMate facilitates are the basis for different visualisations, aimed at different types of stakeholders. It also provides for different types of analysis, such as the impact of change, gap and quantitative analysis.”
The high-level models created with ArchiMate may be linked to different domain-specific detailed design standards, such as Universal Modelling Language for software applications and infrastructure, or Business Process Modelling Notation for business processes.
Accredited by industry consortium The Open Group, delegates of the two-day course can take an exam to achieve The Open Group’s international ArchiMate Certification.
ArchiMate 2.0 Certification Training is taking place in Midrand on 6 August, 10 September and 26 November 2012. For more information contact Carla Bell at Real IRM on 011 805 3734 or email Carla.bell@realirm.com.
