We are excited to announce that the Zachman Certified™ program is taking a brief hiatus in the US. While this may not be particularly exciting news to you, we are excited about some very new developments around The Zachman Framework™ and Enterprise Architecture.

We were unsure about the effects of taking the program off-line, however the changes are too important and so exciting that John has decided that he wants to integrate these new concepts into the curriculum and then re-launch the program in a few months around the world.

Thank you in advance for understanding and to all those who support us. We will be making an announcement very soon! 

ZACHMAN INTERNATIONAL® is the ONLY authorized source for Zachman Certified™ education.

 

Update July 2010: There are only two Zachman Framework™ seminars ZACHMAN INTERNATIONAL® is holding for the rest of 2010 while we re-develop the Zachman Certified™ curriculum:

The second is derived from reification, the transformation of an abstract idea into an instantiation that was initially postulated by ancient Greek philosophers and is labeled in The Zachman Framework™: Identification, Definition, Representation, Specification, Configuration and Instantiation.
