The document discusses the key components of the TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) architecture framework. It outlines the four main architecture components in TOGAF - business, data, application, and technology architecture. It also describes the phase-wise TOGAF Architecture Development Method for designing an enterprise architecture in a collaborative manner while managing requirements.

1. Foundation of TOGAF Architecture
Components
The foundation of TOGAF architecture consists of four components: Business, Data,Application, and Technology
Architecture. In this presentation, we will explore these components in depth, along with the architecture
development method used by solution architects.

2. Business Architecture
Business Goals
Business architecture defines
the goals, objectives, and
strategies of an organization. It
aligns business requirements
with the IT infrastructure to
support the organization's
growth.
Functional Analysis
Functional analysis helps in
creating a comprehensive
architecture model by defining
the various functions within
the organization and how they
interact with each other.
Financial Aspects
Financial aspects of the
business are captured in this
component. It includes cost
estimation, budget allocation,
and analysis of financial
performance.

3. Data Architecture
1 Data Modeling
Data architecture defines
the logical and physical
data models that are used
for storing and retrieving
data. Data modeling helps
in creating a blueprint of
the data structure.
2 Data Governance
Data governance is the
process of managing the
quality, security, and
usability of data assets
across an organization. It
ensures that data is
accurate, consistent, and
relevant.
3 Data Integration
Data from multiple sources
needs to be integrated to
create a unified view. Data
architecture defines the
methodology and tools used
for data integration, data
warehousing, and data
migration.

4. Application Architecture
Application Design
Application architecture defines the design
principles, patterns, and frameworks used for
developing software applications. It ensures that
the applications are scalable, extensible, and
maintainable.
Application Integration
The integration of different applications is a
critical aspect of application architecture. It uses
middleware technologies and integration patterns
to ensure that applications can communicate with
each other seamlessly.
Application Security
Application security is another important aspect of
application architecture. It includes identifying
and mitigating vulnerabilities, defining security
policies, and ensuring compliance with
regulations.
Application Deployment
Application architecture defines the deployment
strategy, release management, and version control
for applications. It ensures that applications are
deployed with minimal downtime and risk.

5. Technology Architecture
1
Technology Strategy
Technology architecture
defines the strategy for
selecting and implementing
technology solutions. It
ensures that the technology is
aligned with the organization's
goals and objectives.
2
Technology Standards
Technology standards ensure
that the technology solutions
conform to defined standards
for interoperability and
security.
3
Infrastructure
Management
Infrastructure management
includes managing the
hardware, software, and
network components of the IT
infrastructure. It ensures that
the infrastructure is reliable,
available, and scalable.

6. TOGAF Architecture Development
Method
Phase-wise Approach
The TOGAF Architecture
Development Method follows a
phase-wise approach to
designing an architecture. It
comprises of several stages like
Architecture Vision, Business
Architecture, Information
Systems Architecture,
Technology Architecture, and
Implementation.
Requirement
Management
The solution architect uses the
architecture development
method to maintain requirement
management. This ensures that
the architecture meets all the
business requirements and
specifications.
Collaborative Process
The TOGAF Architecture
Development Method
emphasizes collaboration
between stakeholders, thereby
ensuring that the architecture
captures all the different
perspectives and requirements.

7. Conclusion
The foundation of TOGAF Architecture has its roots in four components: Business, Data,Application, and
Technology Architecture. The TOGAF Architecture Development Method provides a framework for developing a
comprehensive and well-aligned architecture that meets business objectives. The selection of an architecture
development method is the responsibility of a solution architect, and TOGAF is one of the most widely used
methods today.
