TOGAF® certified Enterprise Architects helping organisations design, implement and govern IT infrastructure that is truly aligned to business strategy — quickly and effectively.
TOGAF® (The Open Group Architecture Framework) is used to help organisations design an IT infrastructure that is adapted to meet their specific requirements. This is where trained TOGAF® professionals come in — they communicate with various department heads and help design and implement an IT strategy quickly and effectively.
TOGAF provides a comprehensive framework and set of tools for developing enterprise architecture. It uses the Architecture Development Method (ADM) as its core process — a step-by-step approach to developing, implementing, and maintaining an enterprise architecture.
TOGAF® (The Open Group Architecture Framework) certified Enterprise Architects at Riki-Tech provide EA (Enterprise Architect) consulting services — from initial maturity assessment through to full architecture repository delivery.

The TOGAF ADM is the core of the TOGAF framework — a step-by-step process for developing enterprise architecture. Riki-Tech follows this rigorously in every engagement.
Preparation and initiation — customisation of the TOGAF framework and definition of Architecture Principles for the organisation.
Defines scope of the development initiative, identifies stakeholders, creates the Architecture Vision, and obtains approval to proceed.
Develops a Business Architecture to support the agreed Architecture Vision — business processes, functions, roles and governance.
Develops Information Systems Architectures — data and application architectures — to support the Architecture Vision.
Develops the Technology Architecture — IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications and processing standards.
Conducts initial implementation planning and identifies delivery vehicles — work packages, projects, and transition architectures.
Addresses how to move from Baseline to Target Architectures by finalising a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan.
Provides architectural oversight of the implementation — ensuring conformance with the target architecture throughout delivery.
Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture — ensuring it remains fit for purpose over time.
Examines the process of managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM — the central hub connecting all phases.
There are four architecture domains commonly accepted as subsets of an overall Enterprise Architecture. The TOGAF standard is designed to support all four, and our Riki-Tech EA Consulting Service covers all these layers.
Defines the business strategy, governance, organisation, and key business processes — the foundation of the entire EA.
Describes the structure of an organisation's logical and physical data assets and data management resources.
Provides a blueprint for individual applications to be deployed, their interactions, and relationships to core business processes.
Describes logical software and hardware capabilities required to support deployment of business, data, and application services.
Organisations that adopt TOGAF-based enterprise architecture realise measurable improvements across operations, technology, and investment performance.
Streamlined processes, clearer governance, and better organisational alignment — reducing duplication and waste.
More effective and efficient IT operations through structured architecture — enabling faster, safer digital change.
Better return on existing investments and reduced risk to future investments through architecture-led decision making.
Faster, simpler and cheaper procurement through standardised technology decisions and a governed architecture repository.
