Note: The above training-mentoring sessions are conducted interactively using a case study to demonstrate how to maintain a high level of traceability between business and IT system architectures.
Concepts are initially explained using case study examples. In the event of on-site sessions, this may be followed by the development of solution drafts tailored to your own business cases during these sessions.
Minor adjustments may be made to the content depending on the evolution of these standards and commercial strategies.
