Enterprise and Solution Architecture - Intermediate and Practitioner

(Course includes examination fee)

Course Overview

The Enterprise and Solution Architecture Intermediate & Practitioner course is a combination of the Intermediate and Practitioner courses.

During the course, participants learn the essentials of Enterprise and Solution Architecture, including:

• Enterprise and Solutions Architecture principles and concepts
• Architecture frameworks
• Business and Applications architectures
• Software and Data architectures
• Infrastructure architecture
• Architecture Management and Migration planning

The course combines knowledge with the opportunity to practice the methods and techniques presented using a realistic case study and it assists those with a TOGAF certificate to see how the framework can be applied in practice.
