Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) offers more than just a blueprint for IT. It creates transparency and a high-quality informational foundation for a business-oriented software architecture aligned with the company’s goals. The iSAQB-certified training imparts the knowledge needed to successfully implement EAM in medium and large systems. You will learn how to develop an IT strategy for enterprise architecture, establish IT governance processes and structures, and create migration plans. Additionally, frameworks such as TOGAF and COBIT will be covered to apply EAM in practice.
