TOGAF 9 has developed and improved over several years.
The view now amongst enterprise architects is that it rightly represents an all embracing framework and methodology.
And this essential foundation can now be used as a roadmap for enterprise architecture teams to further develop their organisations in the areas of data/information integration, technology architecture and applications/services management.
TOGAF 9.0 presents some extensive revisions so as to improve the dynamics of the TOGAF framework and has been built upon the proven principles of TOGAF 8.
Several amendments within TOGAF 9 serve to further extend the general usability of the specification.

And as far as possible, great effort has been made to include relevant detail and to strive for increased clarity compared with previous TOGAF versions.
