1-4303 Enterprise Architecture Modeling

Duration: 3 days

After completion of this three-day class, the student will be able to create, maintain and publish a series of models and object associations which are typical Enterprise Architecture products using OpenText ProVision to clearly recognize and explain the strengths and weaknesses of several popular EA frameworks, as well as construct a customized architectural framework for their organization. Additionally, students will begin to mine the Metastorm ProVision repositories for answers to typical EA questions.
