The ArchiMate Specification, a standard of The Open Group, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.

This course follows the latest version of the ArchiMate specification, version 3.2.

The ArchiMate language enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyse, and visualise the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. Users of the ArchiMate language benefit from sharing a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organisational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure.
