Reactions from other readers
'A quality hard copy of the TOGAF method - easier to read than endless htm docs or huge pdfs! The TOGAF framework has become the de facto standard for developing Enterprise Architectures.'

'A good one-stop-shop guide and toolsets for getting your Enterprise Architecture right. A lot of thought, experience, and funding have gone into this, and the results are well worth the price you pay for the book (and the actual accreditation should you or your organization wish to go down that route).'
