Westward ho?
In transit to San Diego, for the Open Group conference and the launch of TOGAF 9. Weighed down with what feels like a ton of books (though it’s probably only about 30kg – I’d hate to have to carry a …

Services book is published
Mildly amazing – I did meet that deadline. 🙂 Another new book in my Tetradian Enterprise Architecture series went off to press yesterday: The Service-Oriented Enterprise: enterprise architecture and viable services. So there’s a good chance it’ll be back in …
'Silos' is published – at last!
Celebrate with me, perhaps? Bridging the Silos: enterprise architecture for IT-architects has at last gone off to press – hooray! 🙂 Somewhat dependent on production-schedules at Lightning Source, but print versions should be available before the end of the month; …

TOGAF and SOA
This one’s another follow-up to another new comment to a rather old post – namely Manish Joshi’s comment today to the post on ‘Zachman and TOGAF revisited‘ from back in August last year: My focus is on extending TOGAF to …
TOGAF, IASA and architecture skills
