TOGAF 9
The Open Group Architecture Framework
TOGAF 9 "Out of the Box" - Save time implementing a TOGAF
Capability
iServer provides an "Out of the box" solution for TOGAF 9,
designed to reduce the start-up time of a TOGAF compliant
Enterprise Architecture capability by as much as three months.
Standards, guidelines, required documentation and deliverables
published by the Open Group has been condensed into the toolset to
provide a visual reference point and an existing working
environment for all users of and contributors to your Enterprise
Architecture practice.
The TOGAF solution from Orbus Software allows you to focus on
delivering and demonstrating the value of your EA work to the
business as quickly as possible.
Fast Start to TOGAF 9
The TOGAF out of box solution saves an enormous amount of time
both in training and also the deployment within the context of your
own corporate requirements. By combining the TOGAF solution and the
tool deployment method (shown below), your architects will have
received TOGAF training (TOGAF Certification can be achieved if an
exam is taken) and will have an EA environment fully deployed and
ready to go.
A typical timescale for TOGAF deployment can be shortened to
just 6 weeks, including TOGAF training.
The solution includes the following content to help in all
phases of the ADM, especially in the Preliminary Phase and the
first iteration of the TOGAF ADM when setting up a new TOGAF
Enterprise Architecture Capability.
- A TOGAF ADM-based Architecture & Modeling
Repository
- Implemented TOGAF 9 Content Meta-model (Inc. TOGAF
Attributes)
- Complete Set of TOGAF Artifact & Deliverable
Templates (TOGAF Views & Viewpoints)
- Attractive TOGAF 9 Visio Notations
- TOGAF "How To" BPMN Processes and Other Reference
Guides
- GAP Analysis Report

You don't have to be TOGAF Experts
The TOGAF 9 solution provides a great environment to not only
learn TOGAF 9 in context, which can assist in working towards TOGAF
certification, but also permits exploration and test cases for
shared learning between Architects. Business processes are included
to guide you through the phases of the TOGAF ADM, user guides show
how to produce TOGAF-required deliverables, and the pre-configured
repository ensures that you are working within a TOGAF-compliant
environment.
Easily Customize TOGAF 9 to fit your needs
As part of the Preliminary Phase of the ADM, an organization
will tailor the Architecture framework and content to suit their
business and architecture needs. Every aspect of the software is
customizable - areas of the meta-model can be removed / extended,
notations such as ArchiMate can be loaded, and templates swapped
and re-assigned as desired.
iServer, The Only True 'Architecture Repository'
Many Enterprise Architecture tools do not have the capability to
hold anything but models and lists of database content and
therefore can only be seen as 'modeling repositories', not a true
Architecture Repository. Uniquely, iServer holds not only models
and modeling components (building blocks), but also the Word, Excel
and PowerPoint deliverables and governance documents, charters etc.
required in any TOGAF Enterprise Architecture capability. As all
architecture building blocks, models and deliverables (views) and
documents are stored in iServer's repository, they can be shared
and managed centrally. Information can be cross-reference for 'what
if' and traceability analysis to ensure maximum value is extracted
from the Architecture work being conducted. Furthermore, the
information can be published quickly and easily to allow
accessibility for non-architects and assure the information has
business relevance.
