148 Infosys professionals get TOGAF certification

Infosys Technologies Ltd today announced that 148 of its professionals have achieved certification for ‘The Open Group Architecture Framework’ (TOGAF 8), resulting in the largest number of professionals with this accreditation at any one company in the world.

The Open Group is a vendor and technology neutral consortium focused on open standards and global interoperability within and between enterprises.

Sohel Aziz, EMEA head for technology consulting at Infosys, said, “TOGAF is the most important and well adopted standard for developing and implementing enterprise architecture activities. Our commitment to The Open Group’s TOGAF standards ensures we have the skills, capabilities and processes to enable our customers to execute and govern enterprise architecture to derive tangible business value.”

Allen Brown, CEO, The Open Group, said, “TOGAF has gained momentum over the past two years through the contributions of over 120 companies – all working together to develop best practices in enterprise architecture for the industry at large. Infosys is an active contributor to the architecture forum and reinforces the importance of this standard with its 148 certified architects, the largest amount of TOGAF certified practitioners at any single practice in the world.”

As businesses demand increased alignment from IT to enable the organization to adapt rapidly to the changing environment, TOGAF has emerged as the industry standard architecture framework for companies wishing to develop enterprise architecture within their own organization. TOGAF Certification is an assurance program providing multiple classes of certification for architecture service providers, tool vendors and individual enterprise architects.
