Enterprise, Business and IT Architecture and the Integrated Architecture Framework

Explore Capgemini’s Integrated Architecture Framework

Enterprise and Solutions Architecture are increasingly seen as paramount for business and project success. The role of architecture is maturing rapidly, adding tangible value, and significantly contributing to the success of businesses.

Capgemini recognized the value of architecture in the early nineties, developing the first components of its architecture framework and approach, the Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF), as early as 1993. IAF has been steadily enhanced since to become a mature and comprehensive framework. Now in its fourth major version, IAF was approved by The Open Group as a “Recognized IT Architecture Method” in their IT Architecture Certification (ITAC) program in 2006.

IAF is fully supported by a comprehensive education program, an established certification scheme and a broad, experienced and active community of practice. Supported by this, Capgemini has developed one of the largest global Enterprise and Solutions Architecture practices in its industry.

This document provides an introduction to Capgemini’s positioning of architecture within Business and IT, together with an introduction to the Integrated Architecture Framework.
