Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Getting certified is important. It is especially important from a personal perspective. Certifications demonstrate that you have the qualifications, skills, and knowledge necessary to perform your job well. There is one downside to most certifications though. Since most certifications are knowledge-based, almost none of them will allow you to demonstrate your experience.

But a quieter challenge looms: the profession itself is aging, and a younger generation is not stepping in to take the reins. This trend, often referred to as the graying of architecture, threatens to disrupt the future of the field.

Our main focus is enabling you to continue to grow your knowledge of our standards and best practices, and become certified, while keeping safe.
