Explore the solution concept view in ArchiMate, phase a architecture vision, and how strategy, data, and social media resources drive enterprise wide CRM automation and back office integration.
Learn to cross-map value streams with business capabilities in ArchiMate 3.2/3.3, using the value stream viewpoint and serving relationships to connect product, marketing, and customer capabilities.
Build a baseline ArchiMate business function view, mapping functions to organizational actors, and linking marketing, underwriting, actuarial, sales, and finance to support claims, policy, and document processing.
Explore how to model the partial requirements realization view in Archimate, mapping business processes, application services, and technology artifacts across layers to realize key requirements.
Explore the resource realization view as the target in the ArchiMate model, linking resources across business, application, and technology layers to capabilities and lower-layer elements.
Phase B covers an ontology-based ArchiMate business layer metamodel, using RDF and a reasoner to explore asserted and inferred relationships across strategy, capability, value stream, and business service.
Model the ArchiMate application behavior view target by mapping business processes, functions, and objects to data flows across technology, application, and data layers in a data warehousing context.
Explore technology architecture in ArchiMate, modeling the baseline technology view with locations, network, devices, artifacts, and services, and prepare for target views and gap analysis.
Explore figure 32, detailing IoT device services and the data acquisition gateway. Understand the REST API, technology interfaces, and grouping for device registration, operation, and notification services.
Perform a technology architecture gap analysis comparing baseline and target, using color-coded legends to identify deltas and add missing elements like data acquisition gateway and document management backup server.
Explore the TOGAF project context diagram in ArchiMate, linking technology and application layers to work packages, with color-coded legends guiding dependencies and migrations.
The ArchiSurance Case Study is a comprehensive, industry-standard example developed by The Open Group to demonstrate the power of the ArchiMate® modeling language within the TOGAF® framework.
This course follows the journey of ArchiSurance—a firm born from the merger of three independent insurance companies. We begin by documenting the Baseline Architecture and progress through complex Transformation Scenarios, providing a realistic look at how enterprise architecture drives organizational change.
What’s New in the 2025 Edition?
Following the success of the 2023 series (which earned a spot in the Udemy Business collection with over 20,000 views), this 2025 edition has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.
Full ArchiMate 3.2 Compliance: Updated to the latest standards, removing the inconsistencies of older versions.
Modern Tooling: Hands-on demonstrations using Archi v5.5.0.
Enhanced Production Quality: Improved recording techniques for better visual and audio clarity.
Community-Driven Improvements: Content refined based on feedback from over 400 specialized students in the Udemy Business program.
Course Methodology & Key Features
This is a hands-on, practical course. We move beyond theory to build a living architecture repository.
Structured Learning: We use FreePlane Mind Mapping to navigate the course hierarchy, ensuring you never lose sight of the "big picture."
Atomic Lessons: Each lecture focuses on completing one specific View, making it easy to digest and reference later.
Incremental Repository Building: You will gradually construct a full Enterprise Architecture Repository for ArchiSurance.
Version Control: Learn to generate model snapshots and track architectural changes using our dedicated GitHub repository.
Active Modeling: This is not a "passive watch" course. You are encouraged to open the Archi tool and model alongside the instructor.
