Overview
The Open Group, a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium focused on open standards and global interoperability within and between enterprises, announced the general availability of TOGAF™ version 9 on 2 February 2009.

TOGAF™ 9 provides an Architecture Development Method, Content Framework and Capability Framework that can be used as the basis for creating an organisation's enterprise architecture. It has been built up over several years through open participation and collaboration between leading industry practitioners. In addition, TOGAF™ 9 provides a variety of tools, building blocks and resources that facilitate the process and enable the design and development of enterprise architecture across four domains; Business, Data, Applications and Technology,

TOGAF is an industry standard EA framework that is available free of cost to any organisation wishing to develop an enterprise architecture for use within that organisation. More than 60 percent of the Fortune 50 and 80 percent of the Global Forbes 50 use TOGAF to reduce time, costs and risks associated with developing an EA and improve overall business agility. TOGAF certification programs exist for individuals, trainers, professional services, and tool support. These programs enable organisations to standardise on an open method for IT architecture and avoid lock-in to the proprietary methods of major vendors.
