TOGAF® is the global standard for Enterprise Architecture. It provides a comprehensive approach to the design, planning, implementation and governance of enterprise information architecture.
The TOGAF framework enables organizations to effectively address critical business needs by:
- Ensuring that everyone speaks the same language
- Avoiding lock-in to proprietary solutions by standardizing on open methods for Enterprise Architecture
- Saving time and money, and utilize resources more effectively
- Achieving demonstrable ROI
Zachman Framework: According to John Zachman, it is a schema - the intersection between two historical classifications that have been in use for literally thousands of years. The first is the fundamentals of communication found in the primitive interrogatives: What, How, When, Who, Where, and Why. It is the integration of answers to these questions that enables the comprehensive, composite description of complex ideas. The second is derived from reification, the transformation of an abstract idea into an instantiation that was initially postulated by ancient Greek philosophers and is labeled in The Zachman Framework™: Identification, Definition, Representation, Specification, Configuration and Instantiation.
The Zachman Framework unlike TOGAF is very generic and applies only to enterprises.
The Zachman Framework simply is logical structure for classifying and organizing artifacts developed in enterprise architecture. It draws on classification scheme found in disciplines of architecture and engineering.
