FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: John Zachman: Zachman International Expands to Meet Growing Demands
I wanted to take an opportunity to make some significant new announcements about Zachman International and what you can expect from me in the future. As many of you know, ZIFA was an informal collaboration between my company Zachman International and Sam Holcman of Pinnacle Business Group. I provided the theoretical basis and evangelism for Enterprise Architecture and Sam provided the marketing, operations and his planning methodology. Sam has since moved on to a new organization, EACOE, presumably to focus on training and marketing his Enterprise Architecture planning methodology. Sam has recommended, and I have agreed, that we dissolve ZIFA at the end of the current calendar year, 2008. I appreciate Sam's contributions toward advancing the visibility of Enterprise Architecture and I wish him well in his new endeavor. As CEO of Zachman International, I will continue my Enterprise Architecture talks worldwide, while expanding the “Zachman Certified™” deployment. In order to consolidate the authorized framework materials, schedules, and use of the Zachman™ brand, I have asked my son, John P. Zachman, to bring his decade and a half of marketing experience and become the Vice President of Marketing at Zachman International. Now... I am delighted to announce that there is a new look and much more content at my authoritative website: ZachmanInternational.com. We are integrating all of the authorized framework materials, schedules and Zachman™ information into this site. Also, not only have we increased the content, organization and timeliness over the previous ZIFA site, but most importantly, the site ownership and content are completely under my authorization and control. In addition, our Toronto team has significantly upgraded our capacity and network resilience while at the same time implementing proper web security for all business you conduct with us. Over time, this site will continue to act as the portal to the several new Zachman initiatives now underway.
Finally, I am very sensitive about using the Friends of ZIFA mailing list to distribute information about an organization other than ZIFA, even by myself, without your specific authorization. So, as ZIFA winds down and if you are interested in a continuing relationship with me and information on The Zachman Framework™ and Enterprise Architecture in general, please REGISTER to have access to all of the above mentioned material. I personally assure you that your new contact information with me will only be used to maintain my contact with you and your access to Zachman™ materials. (If you wish that we maintain contact with you and you do not have the time required to register now, click this link and in 4 seconds we will keep your email address on file at Zachman International.) Thank you so much for your interest in the past and I hope you will continue your interest in The Zachman Framework™ and Enterprise Architecture in the future. Sincerely, John A. Zachman CEO, ZIFA CEO, Zachman International If you wish to unsubscribe, click the link and I will have your name removed from this list. |
