Zachman International - The Official Home of The Zachman Framework™

Welcome, Friends of ZIFA to my website: ZachmanInternational.com. Although there is a significant amount of material here, I have highlighted four main things that you may wish to review. We have replaced the ZIFA site with the Zachman International site and I encourage you to register by creating your own user identification and password. This action will enable you to access the following materials, on our various websites which are only available to registered individuals.

First, for coming to visit ZachmanInternational.com, I'd like to offer you a $50 discount on my eBook.

Second, transfer your ZIFA credits in the Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect program.

We want to be able to give you proper credit in the Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect program. If you took one of the ZIFA seminars since 2000, we are offering ZIFA certificate holders a total of four credits in the program: Two credits in Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect Level 1 for John Zachman's portion of the MasterClass and two credits in Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect Level 2 for the methodology portion of the course

Get Your Copy of the New Zachman Framework²™

Third, there is a new rendering of The Zachman Framework™. Your old ZIFA Zachman Framework™ graphic is five years out of date. We have worked very had to refine and simplify the graphic and "make it intutively obvious to the casual observer." In addition, we are providing you access to the standards for each cell and the basic descriptive terms. Register using the button below to gain access to the new Zachman Framework²™ graphic– this gives you a no-cost, personal-use license of The Framework that you can print. It also gives you access to all of the Enterprise Framework standards and interactive Zachman Framework²™.

Read the Concise Definition of The Zachman Framework™

Fourth, read my Concise Definition of The Framework. I have had significant difficulties over the past 2 years in trying to keep the Wikipedia definition of The Framework consistent with my intent, and found that a few folks keep changing the entry to what The Framework is not. To compensate for this, I have written a single one page overview of The Framework which is held here on my site.

Thanks for visiting. There is plenty more information on our site than ever before. We are making significant advancements in the world of Enterprise Architecture and it is my intent to partner with you in contribution to this fast-growing space.
