Frameworks to Manage an Enterprise Architecture

Telelogic® System Architect® is the first enterprise software solution to offer a Framework Manager; it features an open architecture that enables it to be used in conjunction with other market-leading tools of other domains to support the full enterprise lifecycle. With its Framework Manager, Telelogic System Architect provides default support for the most popular frameworks such as

  • Zachman Framework
  • DoDAF
  • TOGAF
  • FEAF

Furthermore, with Telelogic System Architect's Framework Manager, users can customize or build company-specific frameworks that structure and classify their information to best fit their organization.

 

Customized Frameworks

Recently, organizations have become more aware of the importance of developing integrated models of their business in order to remain competitive and flexible to change. To this end, interest in industry-accepted Enterprise Architecture Frameworks (for example, the Zachman Framework) has increased dramatically.

The Telelogic System Architect framework browser makes navigating and viewing all of these models easier from a framework perspective. It enables users to view and access the models and artifacts through a framework interface. Each cell of the framework can be opened to view a filtered browser list of all diagrams and definitions in the encyclopedia that pertain to that cell of the framework.

 

TOGAF

Telelogic System Architect is certified for The Open Group's Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Enterprise Edition (TOGAF 8) and Technical Edition (TOGAF 7). TOGAF is an international, open-standard framework and method for development of an organization's enterprise architecture. It contains a definitive and proven step-by-step method for developing and maintaining an enterprise architecture, called the Architecture Development Method (ADM) and covers the four principal architecture domains of business, information systems (application and data) and technology infrastructure, and focuses strongly on the need for architecture to support business objectives and requirements.
